I heard it for the first time in an offline communication in August. I was surprised why the speech had such magical power. However, I found the answer step by step in my own experience.
When I have a lot of things I want to express in my heart, but I don’t know how to express them; when I dare not step out of the boundaries of my heart and boldly speak confidently in front of the public; when I meet excellent teachers, I can only look up to them. , I dare not approach to ask for advice and exchange...
These pain points once made me hide in my own world, wanting to break away but not knowing how to get out.
A friend once told me, I can feel that you must have many stories worth sharing, but you are not confident enough to express your true self. How can you give yourself more opportunities in the future? What about growing and learning?
This enlightening sentence was like a meteorite falling from outer space to the earth. It also hit me hard and left a profound mark on my heart.
In October, I decided to study public speaking hard, joined Perseverance Planet, and started the journey of the 18th training camp, which made me rethink the changes brought about by speaking.
?1
Looking back on the learning process of the past 21 days, the three pieces of advice given by Brother Qiu Changlong to each student at the opening ceremony of the first day of camp passed through my mind: Focus , extreme, altruistic.
At that moment, I seemed to understand that this is the essence of Brother Long, who insists on creating planetary knowledge, persists in studying and focusing on speaking for 10 years, and has become the most popular speaking instructor.
Before joining, I practiced writing every day, participated in community learning, reading and sports. After entering the training camp, I put aside other things and spent my time and attention on practicing my speech.
Assignments consist of reading aloud and impromptu speaking exercises. It seems to be a simple reading aloud. In order to imitate the teacher and open up the voice to make the pronunciation more confident and the pronunciation and intonation more rhythmic, it always needs to be practiced several times or more than ten times... Of course, it can also be taught once, but it is different. With a certain degree of dedication, the results are often unexpected.
During the National Day holiday, I get up at 5 a.m. to prepare for writing, and often practice for 3-4 hours, tirelessly, just to produce slightly better results.
I receive on-time supervision from Mr. Mantou every day, and carefully leave warm comments on each assignment. In addition, the commentator provides careful, professional and targeted guidance on every detail. Progress will be encouraged.
In this way, I am immersed in the joy of practice, more energetic, and enjoy the passion of waking up on time without relying on an alarm clock every day. I am like a wild horse that has been run free, without wandering, only moving forward.
The changes brought about by focus are love and persistence.
Only when a person does something that he loves and persists in will he continue to work hard and devote energy and time to achieve the ultimate goal. This is also the principle of the 10,000-hour rule.
With practice iteration after practice, I seem to have met a better version of myself.
The me who was not good at speaking in public, and who was afraid of expressing my thoughts when communicating in front of strangers, disappeared. Instead, I saw a brave, confident version of myself. She has greater passion, a desire to express herself, and the courage to make breakthroughs.
At the opening ceremony of an offline club, I was lucky enough to be recommended by my class teacher as a sharing guest. Opportunities are hard to come by and I must seize them.
So I asked the instructors to constantly revise and improve the speech draft, and repeated the practice N times in front of the mirror before the opening. On the day of the event, when I stood on the stage and rehearsed in advance, I was still nervous and kept getting stuck.
After all, this is a public speech to hundreds of people in the audience. This is the first time.
Without breakthroughs, there is no so-called progress. In the speeches of other guests on the same stage, I read about everyone's experience on the way to the speech. Everyone's story is a book, writing the successes and failures in their lives.
At that moment, I had a stronger desire to express myself. A strong voice said in my heart, if someone is inspired by my sharing, if someone is infected by my passion and takes action, then that is the value of being a sharer.
Standing on the stage, facing a row of strangers looking at me, I suddenly put aside my nervousness. I shared the 21 days of learning and growth as material, and took out all the hard work in my heart. Passionately convey that energy, hoping that someone will feel a bit of strength from my transformation, triggering cries and actions.
After coming off the stage, my voice was still trembling, but this time the process of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly made me feel like I was reborn from the ashes.
To open up the fear in your heart and step out is to break yourself from the inside. Using an altruistic spirit to help others grow is one thing that can help you realize your own self-worth.
Only by being altruistic can people achieve true achievement, happiness, and satisfaction in their hearts!

Reflection and summary of the learning process also help me face up to my starting purpose and learning status, completion status, and room for improvement.
1. Learning purposes: 1) Exercise the ability to express yourself in public 2) Improve your speaking ability.
2. Learning content: Practice the basic skills of speech every day, roughly these modules.
1) Introduce yourself.
Method 1: Conventional method.
Method 2: 3 keywords method
Method 3: Four-one self-introduction method;
For example, talk about speech selection and speech-related; talk about persistence and selection Stick to relevance; talk about parent-child selection and parent-child relevance. Speaking to others is a sign of respect for the audience.
Example: Brother Long, I am a different speech coach. (Story: Real training scene (students put away their mobile phones when questioning, listen to their voices, exchange doubts, and win over students); golden sentence: Be yourself, we are all different fireworks)
2) Speech Logical structure - opening method
3) Intermediate structure
Win, if you want to win, you must be Wangkouyuebeifan. The core is eloquence, and eloquence is the key to winning or losing. The key;
Speech is divided into speech and speech. Speech is the contagious body language and voice; speech must have wonderful content. Only by doing speech + speech can it be contagious and effective. Wonderful content can be called a wonderful speech.
Jacky Cheung, as a speaker, must be relaxed, continuous learning, and friendly to the people, so he can be called the God of Speech.
If the target audience of the speech is college students - the importance of keynote speeches. They will focus on what is speech, why learn to speak, and how to learn to speak? It can be designed to report the site first, then ask questions, and then expand and fill in the content.
If the target is an investor - focus on why the project can make money, how much money it can make, and why you can make money;
Method: echo from beginning to end + sublimation
< p> Example: Start by giving an example of the characteristics of your hometown such as food, beautiful scenery and beautiful people, and conclude with a summary. Sublimate, continue to impact the hearts of the audience, raise the level of the speech, and speak the most emotional language: Although I have left my hometown, I will never forget that it was the place where I was born and raised. No matter how it develops, there This is my favorite hometown. Welcome everyone to visit my hometown.1.1. Express opinions/answer opinion-based questions
Example: You have been to so many places, what is your favorite food?
Brother Long: I like sea cucumbers the most (opinion), because sea cucumbers can replenish energy (reason). I travel to more than 8 cities every month and speak an average of 30,000 words a day (for example), which requires physical energy, so The first thing to do when arriving at a place is to find a restaurant and then go eat sea cucumbers. But even though I have eaten so many delicious foods, what I love most in my heart is always every dish my mother cooks for me. (Sublimation)
1.2 Answer challenging questions:
Example: Why does customer satisfaction decrease if you meet your boss? Yes, boss, customer satisfaction dropped by 20% this week (admit the problem). The main reason is that the new system encountered bugs and crashed when it was launched, which led to many customer complaints (give the reason). Programmers are working hard to fix the bugs. It is expected to be completed at 7pm tomorrow night, and satisfaction will increase after the repair.
(Give a solution)
1.3 A ceremonial speech:
Example: New employee’s speech. Thank you boss for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself. I am **. Although my major does not match my position, work is what I love most. In the past few days, I have felt the warmth and strength of the team. I am willing to contribute all my strength and work with everyone to make the team stronger.
What audiences like to listen to the most is storytelling, because stories can better capture the audience’s emotions, allow them to listen and touch their hearts. Logic is left-brain thinking, storytelling is right-brain thinking. Only the combination of the left and right brains can effectively convey information and reach people's hearts.
Visual (let the audience have pictures or visual fragments in their minds. The willow trees by the river grow small green buds, swaying in the wind as if to welcome me home), auditory (sound description/onomatopoeia) Words: the squeaking sound of mice), smell (smell, a burst of floral fragrance hits your face), taste (description of stimulating taste buds), touch (body touch) + feeling (a warm current in the heart). It can give the story warmth and a sense of imagery.
Reasons: 1) Not confident enough, enhance self-confidence; 2) Don’t dare to express, have no interest in expression, increase public expression ability and courage; 3) Speech is not logical, enhance language logic ability; /p>
Who is responsible: Complete it yourself and be commented by the steamed buns and the instructor. However, at the same time, you must actively evaluate each other's deskmates and others to gain experience.
Check-in time requirements: The recommended deadline for benchmarking assignments is 18:00 every day, and the submission time should not exceed 21:00;
Steamed bun suggestion: Try to complete it before 8:00 every day. < /p>
Location: In the room, it is also done in the subway. The subway needs to be more bold.
How to do it:
Part 1: In the reading part, first listen to the demonstration sounds 3 times, then follow the demonstration sounds 3 times before starting to read and output.
Part 2: Course audio for speech practice. Listen to it at least once a day before starting to output. Use the learned total points, PREP structure, time structure, question structure, and storytelling to consolidate knowledge points.
Recording video: Place your phone flat at eye level, look into the camera above your knees, try to choose a white wall or a simple background as the background, do not maintain one posture for a long time, 3 movements per minute is more appropriate.
Comments: In addition to waiting for the steamed buns and commenting on the teacher, at least take the initiative to comment on other students’ homework every day.
1. Check-in time: 16 times before 8 o'clock, 5 times after 8 o'clock.
Reason: Practicing for too long, when the mentality becomes impatient, leading to the inability to focus and concentrate. There are some days where the early start time is delayed. The time and efficiency management is not precise and strict enough, and the final completion time is not set. What will be the impact if it cannot be completed.
2. Comment on the homework of other students: If you do not give comments to your classmates on the same day, the time will be delayed. Reason: Failure to stick to habit formation and being distracted when there are other things to do.
3. Write a learning summary by topic and record the learning situation. Failed to complete on the same day every day. Reason: Study summary is not regarded as the most important thing, just a weekly summary. Management by objectives is not clear enough, and there must be results if you pursue what you do.
1) During the 21-day study period, I received selected assignments 12 times and pushed the benchmark once. Excellent noodles.
2) Self-confidence increases and interest in public speaking increases significantly.
1. Impromptu speech:
1) The logic of the argumentation should be improved (for example, the reason for the increase in salary and promotion to the boss is not sufficient). Develop the habit of thinking more and dig out the inner reasons.
2) There are modal particles (well... there are many modalities), which affects the fluency of the speech. Improve by reading beautiful articles every day and striving to dominate the stage.
3) Give examples based on viewpoints. There are too many levels of viewpoints. Give examples of viewpoint one and less viewpoint two. The internal structural organization is not rigorous enough. Through many
4) The gesture part is not natural enough and there are too many gestures. (Practice in front of the mirror)
2. Voice and intonation:
1) The opening and closing of the voice is not enough (the fullness of the voice).
Exercises:
Lift: Lift smile muscles: Get up early every day, smile in front of the mirror and say "Good morning!"
Beat: Open teeth: bite an apple to practice, 10 times
Stiff: straighten the soft palate: experience of yawning, 10 times
Loose: loosen the jaw: move the jaw left and right while making an "ah..." sound
2) Insufficient confidence (use your chest to exert force to increase your confidence in speaking);
a. Breath and voice support; b. Oral exercises.
/p>
3) Grasp of rhythm (cadence and lack of rhythm when reading aloud). Practice reading beautiful articles every day.
The learning process never ends. This stage opened the door for me to give lectures. When I walked in, I was just a learner, groping on the road to spiritual practice and attainment.
These six-character mottos are used in speeches and in every occasion or skill learning in our future lives.
If you insist on doing one thing, stay focused, and do it to the extreme, and at the same time use an altruistic spirit to help others grow, your own growth will be faster!
