1
00:00:10,728 --> 00:00:12,138
It's 1903

2
00:00:12,438 --> 00:00:16,281
and this extraordinary guy 
named Teddy Roosevelt

3
00:00:16,281 --> 00:00:21,001
is standing on the edge 
of the Grand Canyon

4
00:00:21,007 --> 00:00:27,107
and at that time people wanted
to create hotels and spas

5
00:00:27,107 --> 00:00:30,242
and turn the Grand Canyon, in 1903,

6
00:00:30,242 --> 00:00:34,211
intoa profit-making disneyland 
of the environment.

7
00:00:34,211 --> 00:00:37,026
And he stood and said no. 


8
00:00:37,676 --> 00:00:41,347
And he created a tipping point for
the environmental movement

9
00:00:41,347 --> 00:00:42,868
and for the world.

10
00:00:42,868 --> 00:00:45,785
He said: "leave it as it is.

11
00:00:45,935 --> 00:00:51,455
the ages have been at work on it 
and man can only mar it."

12
00:00:51,455 --> 00:00:54,204
(Aplauses)

13
00:00:54,204 --> 00:00:58,085
The world would have been
a different place today

14
00:00:58,085 --> 00:01:02,811
without those words,
those tipping point words

15
00:01:02,811 --> 00:01:05,002
from President Theodore Roosevelt.

16
00:01:05,222 --> 00:01:09,867
Fast forward, his fifth cousin,
President Franklin Roosevelt,

17
00:01:09,867 --> 00:01:14,674
30 years later - 1933 -
in the midst of a huge crisis,

18
00:01:14,674 --> 00:01:18,814
the great Depression of America,
said a few words

19
00:01:18,814 --> 00:01:22,565
to create a tipping point 
towards healing for the USA.

20
00:01:22,565 --> 00:01:27,039
"First of all. Let me assert my firm belief

21
00:01:27,709 --> 00:01:33,378
that the only thing we have
to fear is fear itself,

22
00:01:34,558 --> 00:01:37,987
nameless unreasoning 
unjustified terror

23
00:01:38,657 --> 00:01:44,137
which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."

24
00:01:45,577 --> 00:01:47,633
The world would have been
a different place

25
00:01:47,633 --> 00:01:51,548
without those words, at that time,
from that man.

26
00:01:52,437 --> 00:01:56,891
So, in my 30 years of studying public speaking

27
00:01:56,891 --> 00:01:58,274
and great speeches,

28
00:01:58,294 --> 00:02:00,365
I've found that 
there are seven secrets

29
00:02:00,365 --> 00:02:03,739
that great speakers do, 
that other people don't.

30
00:02:03,739 --> 00:02:07,021
and it's my belief that 
every single human being

31
00:02:07,021 --> 00:02:09,982
can be a great speaker 
and that their words

32
00:02:09,982 --> 00:02:11,587
can create a tipping point,

33
00:02:11,587 --> 00:02:16,547
and that their words and their
essencecan change the world.

34
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:21,443
The first secret is about words 
and understanding that words

35
00:02:21,443 --> 00:02:24,459
can be the best, 
the most amazing in the world

36
00:02:24,459 --> 00:02:28,524
but they only actually touch 
people and communicate

37
00:02:28,524 --> 00:02:32,674
seven percent of the impact 
that one human being has on another.

38
00:02:32,674 --> 00:02:37,063
Voice tone, the variation
in your voice, the enthusiams,

39
00:02:37,063 --> 00:02:39,671
the love, the passion that 
comes through your voice,

40
00:02:39,671 --> 00:02:41,530
38% percent your body language

41
00:02:41,530 --> 00:02:43,903
are you looking into someone's eyes

42
00:02:43,903 --> 00:02:46,991
or are you looking over their 
head and not connected.

43
00:02:46,991 --> 00:02:48,871
So words, voice tone 
and body language,

44
00:02:48,871 --> 00:02:51,502
those are the three vehicles,
the tree pathways

45
00:02:51,502 --> 00:02:54,302
that great communication happens in.

46
00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:56,008
Secret #4

47
00:02:56,445 --> 00:03:00,705
What most people do, is that they throw so much datas out,

48
00:03:00,705 --> 00:03:02,715
trying to prove that they are smart,

49
00:03:02,774 --> 00:03:03,943
trying to get all the content out.

50
00:03:03,943 --> 00:03:05,813
Words are the seven percent.

51
00:03:05,867 --> 00:03:09,923
What is important is what is that one thing you want to leave people with?

52
00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:13,297
What is that headline? That's what makes a great speech.

53
00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:15,420
And that's what we are talking about today.

54
00:03:15,635 --> 00:03:18,175
Secret #5 is fascinating.

55
00:03:18,203 --> 00:03:22,014
If you are afraid or if any of you are afraid of public speeking,

56
00:03:22,094 --> 00:03:26,019
41% of the World, across cultures,

57
00:03:26,078 --> 00:03:29,428
is terrified almost to the point and often to the point

58
00:03:29,464 --> 00:03:32,724
of actually turning down speaking appointements.

59
00:03:32,784 --> 00:03:36,982
Wether they are political leaders, or business leaders or charitable leaders,

60
00:03:37,198 --> 00:03:39,954
they turn down opportunities to shake the World,

61
00:03:40,047 --> 00:03:41,575
because they are scared.

62
00:03:41,655 --> 00:03:43,952
There are a lot of reasons why people are scared

63
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:46,578
but in my experience, the number One reason is:

64
00:03:46,767 --> 00:03:49,643
that we don't know what public speaking really is.

65
00:03:49,758 --> 00:03:51,286
We don't know the true definition.

66
00:03:51,601 --> 00:03:53,351
The true definition of public speaking is

67
00:03:53,351 --> 00:03:55,397
that public speaking is nothing more

68
00:03:55,949 --> 00:03:59,860
than having a conversation from your heart,

69
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:04,504
about something you are authentically passionate about.

70
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:07,435
If you think it's a performance,

71
00:04:07,729 --> 00:04:11,150
you are going to be a 0% you and a 100% actor,

72
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:14,040
we don't get to see and experience and feel who you are.

73
00:04:14,338 --> 00:04:18,097
So, I want you to write the word "speech", down, on a piece of paper,

74
00:04:18,147 --> 00:04:19,632
and I want you to put a circle around it.

75
00:04:19,665 --> 00:04:21,175
and I want you to put a line through it.

76
00:04:21,208 --> 00:04:24,848
I don't want you ever, ever to give an other speech.

77
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:26,575
That's not what great speakers do.

78
00:04:26,624 --> 00:04:29,661
They don't give a speech, they don't give a performance,

79
00:04:29,661 --> 00:04:31,381
they don't make a presentation to the audience,

80
00:04:31,392 --> 00:04:32,959
they have what?

81
00:04:32,979 --> 00:04:36,626
They have a conversation with, it's a circle.

82
00:04:36,649 --> 00:04:40,649
It brings us all together, we are a web, connected to every other person.

83
00:04:40,691 --> 00:04:42,711
And that's what great speakers do.

84
00:04:43,674 --> 00:04:45,456
When I first met Princess Diana,

85
00:04:46,432 --> 00:04:49,061
she looks me in the eye and says:

86
00:04:49,428 --> 00:04:53,895
"You know I am so scared of public speaking and I wish that I could do what Charles does".

87
00:04:53,934 --> 00:04:59,194
It was when they were actually breaking up so it was even more difficult for her to admit that.

88
00:04:59,248 --> 00:05:00,980
And I said: "What does he do? "

89
00:05:01,221 --> 00:05:05,836
"Well, he just stands up there and he tells these funny jokes and then he moves on."
