Communication: The sound of your voice

Communication: The sound of your voice

I find it as a special attraction to write about communication, its intricacies and how beautifully it can effect a change. Sharing a video of TED TALKS by Julian Treasure.

Introduction : Julain Treasure is an expert in the mastery of sound in speaking and listening and how it affects our lives. He is a 5 time Ted Talks speaker and we all know not anyone gets to be a TED TALKS speaker :). He is also the author of the book – SOUND BUSINESS talking about the impact of your pitch, variation and above all a fibre and fragment of communication – YOUR VOICE

 

Take Aways from the Talk – There are 7 deadly sins of speaking, you might want to stead clear of these.. 

1) GOSSIP – We obviously know that it is not a great habit!

2) Judging – It is hard to be judging and seeking at the same time.

3) Negativity – It is hard to Listen!

4) Complaining – Well this is the national sport!

5) Excuses – We have all met this guy, or maybe even been this guy!

6) Exaggeration – If you use BIG words for everything, what do you do for something really BIG?

7) Dogmatism – The confusion of facts with opinions!

You might want to stick to HAIL = 

1) Honesty – Well he is not talking about absolute honesty but it is something which is about trustworthiness

2) Authenticity – Bring what you have inside you, people want to listen to you cos of you!

3) Integrity – Stick to your words, it is not about just what you say, it is also about what you do.

4) Love – It shows everywhere, no matter what you do.. You need to show that you care..

  1. Very valid suggestions. If one speaks from the heart people listen. Convictions are important.

  2. Hahaha…complaining is a national sport, I agree! He speaks so much sense. I mean these things are all around us, sometimes coming out of our mouths and sometimes listening to them coming from someone else – yet we sometimes just accept these things without wanting to do anything about it.
    Thanks for this amazing share :)
