Hi Coursera students. It is a communication oriented speech by Mr. Reigh. Very nicely presented.

[@fatmaabbas8556]

yes, it's nice but he needs to use different pitch and intonation and less pauses.

[@leosmakerspace]

I appreciate his use of many different techniques, such as hand gestures, eye contact, humor and dramatic pauses.

[@akpalumoseskudjo4981]

I could practically see how engaging this presentation was. Because through out his submission he tries to take the audience along by speaking at a rate that allows the audience enough time to decode, process and even almost predict what he wants to communicate. He does it calmly by using his hand gestures in a way the paints a fair picture of his true intentions for submission. I love the constant reading and paying of close attention to the audience. I am sure every audience in that room at one point had an eye contact from the presenter. Good breath control, Pausing, pitch and tone is my portion in all my upcoming presentations this year 2023.

[@mariasoledadchavez5760]

He is brilliant! His speech is very clear, entertaining and full of knowledge. This speech is completely communication oriented. (from Rauch Argentina)

I agree with you.

[@mayurmawale4029]

It's clear to hear and easy to understand. I like the interaction of speaker with audience. What a speech !

[@opeyemiobe5024]

He is a communication oriented speaker. He engages his audience. It feels like the audience are all his friends because he related with them based on shared experiences. Also, he is not just making a speech but also listening for feedback. It's indeed a nice and relaxing speech.

[@Yam_Yam305]

This speech's delivery is awesome. You can see that he was delivering for the ears and also with the appropriate pauses, pitches and so on. This is actually my goal

[@yoginvekariya764]

Hi, I'm yogin vekariya, a caursera student. Robert speech is superb. he engaged audience perfectly and words from him is perspicuous to listener.

[@diananyirenda9918]

I am a courser student enrolled for Intro to Public Speaking and listening to Robert Reich as a great oral communicator, very original and engaging.

[@CarlosRojas-qd2fc]

I could listen him for hours. Definitely a communication oriented. Great presentation also.

[@brigidkemei4446]

very true, he connects well with his audience. This is the best way of delivering a speech

[@LuisFranciscoHerranzJerez]

I definitely think this is a communication orientation speech. He also uses coloquial words.

[@linor21]

+Luis Francisco Herranz Jerez I agree with you.

[@andykarmody6481]

I agree with Hector. This speech was a great lesson in communicating. Robert engaged the audience with his delivery and kept their attention. He used humor brilliantly.

[@imransheikh111]

Hi. I am a coursera student and amazed with the speaking skills of Mr Reigh including his body language and tone and pauses to emphasize the message.

[@marjanemoghimi4933]

hello Cousera, now I see I was wrong this is a communication oriented speech ! And such pleasure to listen to him..

[@reginadelosreyes3374]

Robert Reich, to me, is a seasoned speaker. He keeps the audience interested. His sense of humor is present that makes him more connected and then followed by the information--"the context" of his speech--easy to conceive. Thus, he captured his audience and was able to deliver his information across pretty well.

[@ЛивановИлья]

Robert Reich definitely delivered an informal speech designed to connect with the audience. His delivery was not monotone in the slightest. The emphasis, with stress and pauses, on every single word when he talks about how has not moved ideologically indicates the most important information in the speech

[@mansiagupta]

I think what stands out most is clarity of speech, the interaction with the public, also giving pauses in between for the public to absorb what he is saying and to generate a reaction from them. The speech is totally conversational, giving a feeling that it was never written or rehearsed.

[@melissaelhage2404]

Hello I'm Melissa from Coursera's intro to public speaking course. I really liked his way of speaking. Really natural, engaging, makes it hard for you not to want to listen to what he's saying. He is interacting with the audience, making the right hand gestures, taking the right pauses at the right time.

[@y.nbhalla2509]

Hi. I am a coursera student and I like the speaking skills of Mr Reigh including his body language and tone and pauses to emphasize the message.Very nicely presented.His speech is very clear, entertaining and full of knowledge. and he adapt to the audience reaction..

[@athomas9661]

Robert is a natural speaker who uses the communication style. Not only does he deliver his messages well but his content is always relevant and interesting.

[@joellejohnson6740]

I have not a clue what he was talking about but in terms of communication orientation I think he was excellent. He kept the audience interested in what he was saying by making it feel as though they were participants in the discussion and even got a few laughs out of them

[@nano67271]

robert's speech is communication oriented and he is doing absolutely well. engages the audience from the very beggining of the presentation, asks questions, encourages the audience and waits for their answers, so that the audience feels that they are the active and important part of the presentation.his speech might be well memorized and practised at the same time. he speaks with the audience and his presentation remains interactive till the very end of it

[@NguyễnThịHươngLýFEFPTUCT]

Hi everyone! I totally agree with ,Mr. Hector. This speech is a useful information in communicating. He engaged the audience with his sharing and kept their attention. He used humor brilliantly.

[@pank3010]

What a speech, 'the energy of speaker communicating with audience'. Knowledge and the way he articulate the idea is awesome.

[@JJPoulin757]

Out of the 4 speakers he is the best example of communication orientation. Clearly knows his information well and is having an engaging conversation with the audience and even gets audience participation. Very effective.

[@drsushmitaent]

Absolutely Communication-oriented, with lots of colloquial words used. The pauses, the vocal modulations are so much connecting/engaging with audience.

[@sdhatkins]

The first thing that came to my mind was storytelling. He engaged the audience by taking them on a journey with him. His tone was very conversational which allowed him to infuse humor while still providing meaningful content.

[@teamtbysufailajaffri]

The speech delivery was masterful, skillfully weaving together the power of pitch variations and well timed pauses drawing the audience into an engaging story telling experience.

[@preetisinghania1]

Super Communication Orientation. He not only engaged the audience but was very interactive with them. He could hold everyone's attention. Lot of hand gestures used. Humour added to the already super speech. Superb.

[@CIN22637]

Hi everyone. In my opinion, he is communication oriented speaker. He is not using any written note, speaking clearly. He is natural and he knows his topic very well. He is good listener and he speaks with the audience.

[@tadesseermiyas1426]

Hi, I'm Ermiyas, learning public speaking on courser. Robert speech is in communication orientation continuum. He is highly connected with the audience and it is a great speech.

[@dusanmilojevic2986]

This speech is communication oriented. It is interactive, and not only with audience but with other speaker too. Speaker (R.R.) is actively involving audience, asks, and waits for them to answer and participate. This one is 100% Communication oriented speech

[@bestbdsongs]

What a natural speaker communication oriented, engaging, funny with great pauses.

[@erolozvatan6009]

He makes giving a speech look easy, his communication oriented speech involves the audience, humour is naturally used and he is very easy to listen to as he speaks very clearly as well.

[@lolaolusola3788]

This is awesomely communication orientation. Totally brilliant, less nerve racking, informative, engaging, persuasive and still got humor. When i saw the duration as 58 minutes, i was like i am just going to spend a few minutes just to have an idea of the orientation but voila! i am glued and can't stop watching.

[@311adrian]

I think he's brilliant! He delivers a very clear, entertaining, and knowledge-filled speech. Communication is the main focus of this speech.

[@VinhNguyen-vk1ci]

It is amazing speaking! Because he has a solid knowledge about the topic that he is taking, a little bit of humor, some real life examples, and a slow and clear voice. The most important thing is he involves the audience in the topic by a little pause for them to think about the subject and they are curious waiting to compare their own answer in their mind and his answer in the next talk.

[@nataliaperron5311]

It's communication oriented speech. The best thing I found in his speech is the way he is engaging the audience to make the speech more interesting.

[@eshakhanna7768]

A big hello to all my coursera peers! This speech is a very good example of communication oriented speaking. I like his gesticulation and how he is moving around the stage instead of just standing at one place. I particularly liked his pause at 9:22

[@ogedengbeblessing7176]

I am greatly impressed by his application of prosody as well as his humorous way of engaging the audience and making his ideas known. He operates in the oral medium, his speech is not monotonic and, highly comprehensive.

[@reginaceliafavareli7087]

Hi, I`m from Cursera (Brazil).This kindly shared video is undoubtedly such a great example of communication orientation, which I have learnt in the course. Not only did Robert display precisely all the skills required to deliver a knowledgeable and informative flawless speech but also spoke WITh the auience with easy and self assurance.

[@reemaambastha2040]

This is an example of Communication Oriented Speaking. It is effective as the speaker is interacting with the audience, using humor and engaging the listeners through personal anecdotes, and using current actions and statements to drive forward the speech.

[@TheLovely990]

His speech so far is very clear, tone is very audible. He makes great eye contact to the audience.

[@rebeccamensa-gbekor6732]

This is an effective speech because he makes use of pause, pitch, tone, questions among others to make it easy to understand.

[@ggrice5]

Hey Coursera! Loved the way he uses the combinations of posture and gestures along with engaging the audience to deliver a very interesting session.

[@shilpapawar942]

[@linhdo3139]

it is communication orientation, and the speaker was successful in engaging and interacting with the audience, He raised many key problems by asking the audience and helped them to focus and pay attention attentively.

[@deepaksingh423]

Well, it was a communication oriented speech. Apart from that it was an amazing speech and challenging as well. He started brilliantly by interacting with the audience colloquially and he was very well connected with them at the same time. He executed his speech with a great flow and also educated his audience by keeping them involved throughout the speech. Great job!!!

[@thepublichealthdentist]

Hi. I am a coursera student and I like the speaking skills of Mr Reigh including his body language too...

[@zooey1981]

Reich seems very comfortable speaking in front of an audience and, I think because of that, makes an engaging speaker for his audience.

[@bobmurray2710]

Henry’s introduction begins with a performance orientation to get him over the first (jittery) 60 seconds, then he relaxes and moves to a communicative orientation, from time to time, reverting to performance oriented methodology in order to deliver his key facts. Robert Reich delivers his piece in an entirely communicative orientation

[@romiliaromain9787]
