Speak like a leader | Simon Lancaster | TEDxVerona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGBamfWasNQ&t=7s The speechwriter Simon Lancaster gave a speech about how to make a competing speech like a leader. He introduced a technique called rhetoric which stems from Roman empire, and has been wildly used by world’s leaders. In the talk, he explained the technique in six points. It scientifically proved that some particular techniques make the speech more memorable and grab the highest possible attention from audiences. He brought some quotes from past leaders after explaining each technique as case examples. The whole speech was very impressive, powerfully appealed to the audience. The points of each component were clear and easy to follow. At the end of the speech, he emphasised that rhetoric technique is what children need to study at schools, in order to integrate into society, lead others and speak up when necessary, as every child has the potential to become a leader, not only for exclusives. I agree with his idea. Especially in my home Japan, we only learned to be good and efficient of being in a group and we never learned how to be a good individual in which circumstance unlikely to make a future leader. *** If someone has a chance to read through and correct and/or suggest any better way to write, I'd highly appreciate it!
