Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.40,0:07:04.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are four such elements:

Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.75,0:07:22.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it goes on to include\Nhow you walk into the space
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.01,0:07:25.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what presence you radiate.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.02,0:07:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, there is voice;\Nyour voice is an instrument,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.26,0:07:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, there is body;

Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.37,0:08:00.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a speaker, you need\Nto be fluent in this language,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.53,0:08:10.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that you know which ones to use,\Nand which ones not to use.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:12.51,0:08:15.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then there is \Naudience connection, of course.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.69,0:08:19.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is all about creating \Na relationship with the audience
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.10,0:08:22.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that you form bridges\Nbetween yourself and them.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.96,0:08:44.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And those are the four areas\Nthat your job as a speaker
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.53,0:08:48.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to enhance and polish like a diamond.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.09,0:08:51.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm sure that you can imagine
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.81,0:08:56.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doing all that polishing\Ntakes a lot of effort and time.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.67,0:08:59.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But just as with any skill,

Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.20,0:09:21.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the good news is that\Nit can be mastered.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.68,0:09:25.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as George Leonard said\Nin his book called Mastery:
