Learnin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the process of communication is essential to the role of leader for the fact that the words they choose to use, equip them with power to in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">influence others. People in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interpret in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information from the manner in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which it is presented. In this section we will focus on understandin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the process of communication. Next we will discuss the process of speech organization and display how leaders use different styles of speeches to motivate people. The process of communication can be better explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined as two people talkin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing on the phone: A speaker sends a message to a person or a receiver. The message is coded in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a specific language made for the receiver of the message to understand. The receiver decodes the message to gain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in understandin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing from the material. The decoded message in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in then re-told or explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined back to the speaker in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in order to verify that the receiver understands the material. This process ensures the presentation and in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interpretation of in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information. Communication can come in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in two forms: Verbal and Non-verbal communication in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">involves speakin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing: usin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing words to convey your ideas and feelin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings. Non-verbal communication in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">involves the use of body movement to display the thoughts and feelin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing of a person. The way a person sits down, crosses or place their legs together or apart says a lot about a person. Whether they are closed or open signal concentration or boredom while hands at side represent focus and relaxation. The art of verbal communication through the presentation of organized thought is called a speech. In order for a speaker to perform an effective speech (designed to motivate or persuade others to agree with you ), one must: 1. Have good posture- the stance you take in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in front of you audience says a lot. If you standin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing erect in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in front of your audience they will thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ink that you seem careless and unenthusiastic of your own in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information and presentation. The message you are conveyin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing will be coded on the basis of your appearance. 2. Facial expression-the look on your face is another feature that can disrupt or benefit the message you are tryin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to convey in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a speech. The look of confidence will cause others to confide in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in you even more. 3. Movement and Gestures- The movement of your hands and feet as you are givin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing a speech helps your audience to better understand or become confused from your presentation. Walkin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing back and fourth across a stage or platform while givin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing a speech might help the speaker to feel at ease about the material he is talkin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing about, at the same time it might help the audience to relate with the speaker doubt, move in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a calm manner that enables your audience to keep up with you. 4. Use of eye contact-lookin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing at a person straight in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the eye you seem more honest and trustin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. Poor eye contact like readin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing out your speech lin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ine for lin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ine without lookin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing up in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interrupts the process of communication in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the case of givin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing a speech. When the speaker looks at the audience he or she is acknowledgin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the fact that they are sin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">incere in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in their presentation which will benefit the cause of their presentation. 5. Speak with enthusiasm- If you do not seem happy or at least in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in what have to say; people will not listen. Showin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing that you have a great in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interest in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in what you are speakin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing about by your use of body language and vocabulary can help to establish trust between you and your audience. 6. Lastly Practice- All of the best public speakers had to practice in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in order to develop their approach and methods for givin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing a speech. The more you practice the better you will become. A speech can take three forms. Each form is designed to convey the speakers ideas concernin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing differently. A impromptu speech is one in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which the in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing given has neither been rehearsed or prepared. A in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informative speech is one in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which the speaker in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informs the audience about somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing or place. A persuasive speech in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">involves tryin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to persuade your audience to believe your take on thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings. For each form of speech there are guidelin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ines that have to be met in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in order to present the material effectively to the audience. Let s take a closer look: I. Impromptu speeches The best preparation for an impromptu speech is to be in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informed about people, place and news events happenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in your city, state, around the country and world. This type of in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information will give you topics of conversation to talk about with people durin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing different situations. An impromptu speech can be explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined accordin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to its past, present, and future sequences. Events, issues, customs, etc. can be discussed in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the manner in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which they began, are, and are goin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to change. for example, discussin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing The Olympics; the organization of your speech can go follows as follows accordin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to the three parts of speech: The in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intro., the body and the conclusion. First the history of the Olympics can be discussed in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intro. Second, How the Olympics is played today. Third, the future of the Olympic games. II. Informative Speeches Informative speeches in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">involve certain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in aspects of preparation and organization in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in order to ensure comprehension of the material bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing presented. The preparation of an in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informative speech requires four steps: Selectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your subject, narrowin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your subject, gatherin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information, and usin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing visual aids. 1. Selectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your subject - Pick a topic that you know a great deal about or that really in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interest you. Try to talk about somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing that you have had some experience with, shows more enthusiasm. 2. Narrowin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your subject – Many times knowin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing too much about a subject is a bad thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing because people do not necessarily like listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to long speeches. Long speeches sometimes cause people to forget the major details of your speech. Decide how to limit your explanation of thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings by bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing specific and achievable. Achievable in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the sense that your audience must be able to do somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing or understand and remember specific parts of your speech. 3. Gatherin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information – Involves research from two sources yourself and outside in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information. What you already know makes up your own knowledge of the subject as reference. Outside source in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information is gathered through the research of book sand etc. 4. Usin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing visual aids – Helps to better establish understandin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing between the audience and the material, which the speaker is presentin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. The organization of an in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informative speech requires four main" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in steps: 1. Havin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing an attention gettin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">introduction that tells your objective. 2.

III. Persuasive Speeches The purpose of a persuasive speech is to get others to change their feelin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings, beliefs or behavior about somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. The preparation and organization of persuasive speeches is the same as in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">informative speeches with a few modifications. The preparation of a persuasive speech in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">involves 3 steps: Determin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your specific purpose, analyzin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing your audience, and preparin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing visual aids.
