Speech Outline & Persuasive Speaking on communications

The effective communication has huge significance in the modern-day world not only in the corporate world but also in our routine life as well. The individuals that know how to communicate their message effectively to others are more successful than those individuals who face difficulty to communicate with other individuals. Recently I have studied regarding how the speech can be organized and delivered to the audience. It was quite interesting for me to learn that if the speech is organized efficiently and a proper sequence is followed then the speaker can grab the attention of the audience.

After learning about organizing and outlining of speech I can proudly say that my communication skills have improved. Now if I have to deliver an informative or persuasive speech, I can deliver it with more confidence and without any hesitation. I have realized that by using phrases and quotes I can grab the attention of the audience. The statement from which the speech has to begin should be attractive and attention-getting. The speech should begin with the opener after that statement of significance should be told to the audience. The thesis statement reflects the theme and main idea of the speech (Vandelanotte, 2009).

From the speech outline one can know how to convey the message to the audience and get their attention sometimes the speaker conveys their message but the listeners are not really able to understand what the speaker actually wants to say to its listeners. Therefore, it is important to engage the listeners into the speech and continuously grabbing their attention by using informative phrases. In the informative speech, it is important to quote the sources from where the information has been taken. Through this, the audience will realize the authenticity of the information that is being shared by the speaker (Vandelanotte, 2009).

I can say that the information which I have learned in 3 weeks has provided me enough knowledge about the communication process and why it is necessary for any individual. The communication is necessary for the organizational success. It has been seen that the organization performance enhances when the employees perform their task effectively. When the employees understand the task accurately, they able to perform it efficiently and that is the reason for the increase in performance. Therefore, good communication process does have importance. The leaders or top management of the corporation also have to realize the importance of good speech because they are the one who has to influence their employees (Dirven & Verspoor, 2004).

The managers or leaders usually give the persuasive speech so that they can persuade their followers.  Through my previous reading, I have realized the importance of persuasive speaking and I can say that it is important to influence the listener through the speech. If the listeners are not going to persuade then it means that the speech does not have any impact on the listener and the objective or goal of the speech is not achieved. The purpose of persuasive speech is usually to influence the listeners so that they can perform the specific task more accurately and try to find the solution to the problem (Dirven & Verspoor, 2004)

If I summarize my learning regarding different types of speeches and communication process, I can say that delivering the effective speech is essential for providing information or motivating the individuals of the society. The speech is given to grab the attention of the people and convey the message that is important for them. Through outlining the speech and adopting the persuasive approach I can say that I can deliver the good speech in front of the audience. My confidence has increased up to the lot of extents which essential for a good speaker. Without confidence, no one can become a good speaker (Vandelanotte, 2009).
