It's 1903
and this extraordinary guy
named Teddy Roosevelt
is standing on the edge
of the Grand Canyon
and at that time people wanted
to create hotels and spas
and turn the Grand Canyon in 1903
intoa profit-making disneyland
of the environment.
And he stood and said no.
And he created a tipping point for
the environmental movement
and for the world.
He said: "leave it as it is.
the ages have been at work on it
and man can only mar it."
(Aplauses)
The world would have been
a different place today
without those words,
those tipping point words
from Presidente Theodore Roosevelt.
Fas forward his fifth cousin,
President Franklin Roosevelt,
30 years later - 1933 -
in the midst of a huge crises
the great Depression of America,
said a few words
to create a tipping point
towards healing for the USA.
"First of all. Let me ask
certain my firm belief
that the only thing we have
to fear is fear itself
nameless unreasoning
unjustified terror
which paralyzes needed up
to convert it free and what that."
The world would have been
a different place
without those words at that time
from that man.
So in my 30 years of studying
in public speaking
and great speeches
I've found that
there are seven secrets
that great speakers do
that other people don't.
and it's my belief that
every single human being
can be a great speaker
and that their words
can create a tipping point,
and that their words and their
essencecan change the world.
The first secret is about words
and understanding that words
can be the best,
the most amazing in the world
but they only actually touch
people and communicate
seven percent of the impact
that one human being has on another.
Voice tone, the variation
in your voice, the enthusiams,
the love, the passion that
comes through your voice,
38% percent your body language
are you looking into someone's eyes
or are you looking over their
head and not connected.
So words, voice tone
and body language,
those are the three vehicles,
the tree pathways
that great communication happens in.
