Speakers.. Instructional

[bennycog]

From the Speakers to the page, from the page to the new voices, from them voices to fresh ears..

And we have all the speakers we need right here Bill, Carmen, Jake, Kimberely, Anchor just to name a very few. There are loads of them here :)

If members and new members here want to have their voices heard, and are not yet confident or not want to screw up the facts of what they are voicing. Leading to clouds in judgement over those listening...... What could you do?


So Bill.. What words of wisdom or what instructions could you give groups of young and old humanity's patriots?

From how to keep relevant information at their fingertips to finding ways to respond to an argument without sounding arrogant and too stressed..

I start with the definition of a speaker.. via the dictionary

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Speakers

1.
a. One who speaks.

b. A spokesperson.

2. One who delivers a public speech.

3. often Speaker The presiding officer of a legislative assembly.

4. a person who speaks, esp at a formal occasion

5. a person who speaks formally before an audience; lecturer; orator.

And how one becomes from this to a leader.. To help others realise they can do it too..

I find it constructive and may realise some personnel empowerment..

Post youtube speech's here.. Write a poetic piece of justice and let somebody else read it out for you..

If you have fun while you do it then you will want to continue.. So let's be seriously fun..

My job is a supervisor in a relatively small contractor company that services different mine sites..

So one of my things each day is to rally the crew together and discuss safety issues and how the job is going to be performed.. I also conduct inductions for new employees..

And the best thing I see is to try and individually thank every person I can when the job is done.. Whether it goes too long or there is a minor incident and I especially acknowledge personnel or a group when they (pardon the pun) worked together like a well oiled machine..

Sometimes speaking is so hard, words are so easily misunderstood. Speaking in person is a lot easier, facial expressions, hand gestures and eye contact help those listening understand you so much better.
Simple yet underused words like please, thank-you and showing respect, understanding and appreciation can mean the difference between getting people's backs up or making new friends.

Online it's a whole different ball game isn't it, what a minefield!
I see this so often here on Avalon or on (cough) Facebook! People's true personality is hidden behind the coldness off black structured typography, too many smilies or emoticons and people assume you're either 14 or not wrapped too tight, too little emotion and you come across as too serious, Throw into that the regional and international differences of grammar and its a recipes for online warfare :)
So many times on here I have posted and i realise its been taken out of context or misunderstood, likewise I have taken others posts wrongly, until I re-read and open my mind set to the persons angle and agenda.

I guess the best way to approach speaking both in person and on forum is to be honest, be yourself, don't be afraid of being mocked.
Speak honestly and clearly, state your point you are trying to get across concisely and your reason for doing so.
Don't assume everyone will share your viewpoint and don't try push your views down people's throat, give them a slice to try and if they don't want anymore then leave them be.
Always be open to genuine and constructive criticism, you will learn much more than thinking its your way or the highway all the time.
If someone seems overly angry or irrational, it probably isn't aimed at you, it's just a battle they're fighting within themselves and your topic or feelings have hit an exposed nerve.

Be polite to everyone, never miss the opportunity to make a new friend. And remember that one kind word may be the easiest thing for you to do, but for the person receiving it, it could make their day :)

Nice thread Bennycog :)

Thanx Serenite..

Being afraid to be mocked, that is one huge issue I imagine, when one is a speaker.

We have to stuff things up to learn.. And the courage is needed for us to continue, keep trying..

I would hope this thread could help us.. By making mistakes here and learning from them.. By taking control of ourselves to move forward to the next phase.

I would be quite nervous myself with more than say 20 people.. But I will very soon try a you tube vid or something, and try to voice myself, say what I feel on a subject. But to make it informative and short. So more people can do it and share it here in an archival Avalon moment..

Hey even if in some videos/mp3's it may be borrowed information, it will be information deserved of repeating..

Example: Just jumping on video an announcing building 7 was "pulled", as in building 7 on nine eleven went under demolition. Then tell about a good website where people can find information about that..


just the basics for uploading video to you tube.

This seems to be ok for audio uploading..

Nice idea Bennycog, look forward to hearing/seeing your subjects of choice!
I agree, speaking to an audience is scary, I have much respect for anyone who can get up and speak in front of a large group of people.
I think I'm still traumatised from having to read aloud at school!

I see by your avatar we have the same angst of thoughts on geo-engineering/chem-trails...that would be a great start for youtube...the more people that look up and wake up the better! :)
