The 7 secrets of the greatest speakers in history | Richard Greene | TEDxOrangeCoast

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. "Never give a “Speech”, says Richard Greene. In this masterful talk, he explains how the great speakers in history use 7 secrets and how we can all become a great speaker by following these secrets and by not just giving a "speech" but rather creating "conversations" from the heart.
Richard has dedicated himself to creating new paradigms in Public Speaking, Politics, and even our understanding of God
Called "The Master of Charisma" by The Sunday Times, Richard quit his law practice to coach Presidents, Prime Ministers, Senators, Governors, CEOs, Royalty and celebrities in 44 countries. Chief Judge on TLC's "The Messengers", Author, "Words That Shook The World: 100 Years of Unforgettable Speeches and Events".
Richard Studied Political Science in The US and UK, ran for Congress in 1992, advises countless political leaders, hosted "Hollywood CLOUT", a live "Hollywood Meets Politics" talk show on Air America Radio for 3 years, blogs for The Huffington Post, created the non-partisan, celebrity driven "Choose YOUR America" campaign and "The 2014 Midterm Election 'Answer-Thon'" to increase political engagement in America.

I was 18 and I gave a puclic speech in front of my high school. I was a top student but not popular in the eyes of my language teacher (actually not popular at all because i was from a poor family) so she asked all the other popular ones before me to do the speech and they all said no. She asked me surely thinking I also would say no but i said Yes and that was it. I hadn't given any speech only one in front of my family and we hadn't practiced speaking at all in school. But it was for Independence day and I was a daughter of a war veteran so i felt called to do it. I wrote my speech and practiced couple of times and included something personal and shared how my father also had faught for our freedom as so many others had and that we should not ever take our freedom for granted. They all listened, they were all silent. I have no idea how i was able to deliver a clear and quite passionate speech about what freedom and independence of a country means to me and what i wished it to mean everybody. In front of few hundreds of people. ( Also they told me right before the celebration that my speech was the only program since others had canceled theirs. So that added to the pressure) But somehow i wasn't so afraid, naturally nervous but not scared, because I was confident in my message and i felt passionate about it. And that's how i learned about public speaking, if you want to move people you need to speak from your heart. ♥️

That 2nd MLK clip...wow. You can sense the heaviness in his heart that death may be looming and yet the confidence he has in God and willingness to stand firm. POWERFUL!

[@JLaw954]

That truly was MLK's finest speech ever. If that isn't evidence of the Holy Spirit guiding a man's words then I'm not sure what would count as evidence. Magnificent. MLK had it all - the words, timing, cadence, rhythm, passion, and conviction.

I have never heard that speech before, but you can tell he knew he wasn't going to live a long life. He was a walking target because of the progress he was making for blacks in the US. We lost a great man and a great orator.

[@Gweidemann]

Out of all the hundreds of speakers I've ever heard on every subject under the sun, in 67 years I've been alive including 37 years saved and sober, also hearing numerous speakers in various recovery groups speak some very passionately and eloquently to their audiences... which also includes a variety of Pastors, Priests, and Preachers in a number of live sermons as well as prerecorded television, radio, and computer broadcasts to a variety of audiences...the Martin Luther King "I Have A Dream" speech in the nation's capital of the United States is one of the greatest, most inspirational speeches of all time!!! Praise God!!! Let freedom ring for all men, women, and children everywhere!!!

I agree I cry every time I hear it. Definitely the best.

I loved this inspiring ted talk. I’m 64yrs old, brought up 4 children, lived in poverty for many years, dyslexic, uneducated, have many health issues, am a ministers wife, always felt inadequate due to not being academic. But boy did this wonderful talk do me good. So many wonderful positives and wonderful things to hear, take inspiration from and learn from to inspire us and encourage us to speak out from our heart felt passion to help and serve others who need help and sticking up for. Lights and red spots all the silly negative comments others have made. What’s a matter with people, it’s the content that matters surely and that was fantastically inspiring I learnt so much, thank you Richard for your ted talk.

[@attogladys4524]

Richard Greene, you changed my life in as far as public speaking is concerned. How I wish I could thank you in person! Every time I have a public talk to give, I come and watch this and suddenly all the fear and panic just disappears

[@rajkrish9347]

I'm starting my public speaking and training and the single most important takeaway i have from this talk is the fact that I am to 'have a conversation' with my audience and not 'give a speech' ... thanx for this upload

It's truly amazing how perspective really matters, meaning all our life we have seen it as a speech, you have to talk articulate, feel that robotic feeling of not being truly yourself. But if you see it as you just speaking from your heart it really changes it all around.

[@summersimonton3440]

Excellent Speech Mr. Greene. I used to be so scared & I turned that fear into my greatest joy. I know there is an opportunity that I can even to change one person's life, I have made a difference in the world. Summer Simonton. Thank you.

Многие израильтяне уже стали понимать, что противоречия в нашем обществе не сводятся только к различиям между правыми и левыми, сефардами и ашкеназами, светскими-и религиозными, евреями-и палестинцами. Нет, речь идет о конфликте более глубоком. Наблюдаемое в последнее время противостояние вокруг судебной системы является лишь проявлением этого фундаментального раскола: в Израиле идет борьба западноевропейской и восточноазиатской цивилизаций, противостояние двух больших культурных общностей, с разными идеалами, системой ценностей, мировоззрением, понятиями. Конечно, к какой из этих систем относится человек, зависит не только от его происхождения. Какая-то часть израильтян из восточных общин является носителями европейских представлений, а определенная часть ашкеназов руководствуется восточными понятиями. Доказательством наличия в Израиле двух больших лагерей является, например, следующее: одна сторона не может перенести, чтобы главой правительства был обманщик, человек, против которого выдвинуты уголовные обвинения, а второй это не мешает, главное, что он свой, из нашего лагеря, племени, сектора и т.п. Одной не важен этнический состав той или иной государственной комиссии или победителей конкурса, главное, чтобы это были специалисты, а их решения - эффективные и справедливые. А для другой интерес прежде всего в этническом составе (и это после 75 лет существования еврейского государства). Одна не может принять распространенную коррупцию, а для другой это нормальные отношения в обществе. Одна не согласна, чтобы суд был зависим от политиков, а другую это устраивает. Одна требует разделения властей, чтобы судьбы страны не решал один человек или одна группа. А для другой такое устройство наиболее приемлемое. Для одной возмутительно, что семья премьера участвует в решении важнейших государственных дел, а другая относится к этому как к допустимому при царском дворе. Хорошим примером отличия западноевропейского и восточноазиатского мировоззрений является разное отношение людей вообще к закону и делам, связанным с коррупцией, в частности - на примере судов над Арье Дери и Эхудом Ольмертом. Когда Дери был осужден за получение взяток и приговорен к тюремному заключению, это не помешало ему быть очень популярным общественным деятелем среди многотысячных носителей восточноазиатской системы взглядов и потом еще сделать блестящую политическую карьеру. То же самое случилось и когда он обманул суд и всю страну, взяв обязательство прекратить политическую деятельность, чтобы не понести наказания, но затем отказался выполнять свое обещание. Это совершенно не сказалось на его авторитете среди его сторонников, он остается лидером партии ШАС и одним из самых влиятельных политиков в стране. Абсолютно противоположная реакция была на судебное дело Ольмерта. Ему пришлось уйти с должности главы правительства, резко упала его популярность среди носителей западной системы ценностей, он лишился поддержки даже среди политических сторонников. А сейчас мы видим разное отношение представителями двух культур к судебным делам Нетаниягу. Проявлением указанного разлада является и то, что самые важные жизненные факторы слабо влияют на политические предпочтения большой части населения, особенно право-религиозного электората. Так, темы безопасности, дороговизны жизни, в том числе жилья, все наболевшие острые социальные вопросы оказываются не главными при выборе кандидата, за которого они решили отдать свой голос. Существующее слишком большое различие между двумя частями населения является причиной мощного внутреннего конфликта. Обычно такой конфликт разрешается жестким противостоянием и даже насилием. Кажется это самый серьезный вызов для Израиля со времени его создания. Когда перед нашим государством стояла задача выжить, была угроза самому существованию страны, это противостояние сглаживалось, гасилось. Сейчас оно всплыло, оголилось, обострилось. Без излишней политкорректности, можно заявить, что сейчас в Израиле идет противоборство не между правыми и левыми, а между прогрессивной и развитой частью населения и отсталой и реакционной. Бывший премьер-министр Англии Лиз Трасс сказала, что сейчас в мире идет борьба между разными общественными моделями: демократиями и автократиями. Внутри Израиля развернулась аналогичная борьба. Европейское устройство, которое реализовали создатели нашего государства, теперь подвергается атаке и изменению в соответствии с состоянием общества и уровнем развития большинства населения, во многом соответствующего странам третьего мира. В муках и противоречиях формируется свое собственное общественное устройство. Именно борьба двух цивилизаций ялась основным смыслом избирательных кампаний последних лет. Победил право-религиозный лагерь во главе с Нетаниягу. Если эта победа окончательная и либеральный протест потерпит поражение, то страна пойдет ускоренным темпом к одной из форм автократии. Будут внешние атрибуты современного европейского устройства, а по сути - возврат к примитивной форме демократии, когда в обществе нет противовесов, все решает большинство. Так стоит вопрос о том, какой будет наша страна: отсталой и реакционной, передовой и прогрессивной.

[@babykangaroo8769]

I think we over consider the public speaking, the scare feeling is only because we don't want to be publicly judged and humiliated, if we consider as making a valuable conversation or delivering a message, which will be a totally different story. Thank you!

[@Scarystoriesrecap]

I think that this guys did a fantastic job. He is smart, clear, engaging and powerful. I felt inspired by the various figures he profiled in this talk; Princess Diana, Martin Luther King Jr., etc. I also find it helpful to look at public speaking as a conversation from one's heart. That's solid and substantial advice that I will take with me. I really enjoyed this TED talk.

[@HADASSAA11]

One of the best lectures on speech theory. Well done keep giving of yourself for others.

[@richardsantanna5398]

For me it's always been easier to speak publicly to a crowd than speaking with only one person or a small group of people. It's because when I give a presentation I don't feel like I'm talking to a human being, I'm just talking to a crowd. I am there to deliver a certain message and they are there to recieve it. It's very simple. There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying. Also, in public speaking you know when you're going to talk and probably how you're going to say it; in a conversation, that can change depending on how the other person or people react to what you're saying.

[@meredithevans3754]

I think you might have hit the nail on the head when you refer to your audience as a "crowd". You'd be more effective as a presenter if you thought of them as a group of individuals where you're trying to connect with ALL of them, but at the same time. Sadly Richard, our audiences aren't always "there" to receive it. Physically yes, but often mentally, no. That means we do need to tailor our message to the group of people in front of us. Failure to articulate what's in it for them will guarantee some, if not most, switch off. Trying to tailor a presentation to a group of people takes time and effort. It's not that simple and if it your experience of it is, then I suspect two things are happening. 1) You give very specific presentations to very specific people or 2) You're unaware of your audience's true perception of you or their assessment of your presentation. Your statement "There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying" suggests that you speak to everyone exactly the same - your mum, your friend, a child, your line manager? I'd be surrised if you didn't tailor your way of speaking to different people. I wish you well with your future presentations.

[@richardsantanna5398]

Maybe you're right about me giving specific presentations to specific people. That statement was actually meant to suggest the opposite - That I have to tailor my way of speaking depending on who I'm speaking to and it's nice to take a break from that when giving a presentation.

[@mahjabeenmalik8202]

thats called think before you speak

[@architectMd]

Richard Greene Sir has composed the speech so convincingly that giving a memorable speech is the most easiest of one really has thought that could bring in the development, the change, the improvement or having a perception to improve the living conditions or standard of lives, and the vision to touch the hearts of the masses to seek their support and loyalty to retain and collectively work on them timelessly, with sacrificial attitude towards achieving the goal, or target set.

[@benamos3833]

I read these comments like Dexter's and others and become really saddened by how many lost, angry, cynical, lonely pessimistic people are in the world. I can't imagine how dark and gray their world must be when you cant see the good in anything and are driven by this insatiable need to point out the flaws and bad in everything as in lieu of grasping the good and colorful.

[@denisewozniak]

+Ben Amos Thank you, Ben. It is saddening and maybe they are still on their journey. You have a fabulous attitude and for some that is difficult to attain. We can hope that thankfulness, peacefulness and optimism win out in the end.

[@pt560]

+Ben Amos I think many people are afraid of being nice,They are afraid of the light because they don't know how to handle it. Some day, in another life they will find the way

[@woutkoopman]

+Ben Amos I'm not sure of which comments you speak, I would just like to throw out there that disagreeing is a very important tool of discussing. I think the world is a better place because we disagree. It thrives us to look for answers and seek other options. The people we now view as entrepeneurs and visionary's were in their time mostly seen as trouble makers and, as you so fluently say, angry cynical pessimistic people. Do not see an opposite opinion to your's as negativity. Their opinion matters as much as yours.

[@benamos3833]

+woutkoopman I agree that varying opinions are good for growth. Not everyone agrees nor should they. What I'm referring to is negative toxic opinions and people. Verbal and Mental Toxicity of the soul destroys others and oneself. it is a proven scientific fact that negative and toxic thoughts such as, anger , continual pessimism , etc is a breeding ground for cancer and other biological problems. everyone's entitled to their opinion but some opinions are bad undermining unproductive. Some people are just negative jerks not express an opinion just being jerks

[@woutkoopman]

Ben Amos Now you're just making things up. There is no biological connection between pessimism and getting diseases like cancer. Please do not speak these lies without evidence. I agree with you that being negative is not a good thing. I myself always wonder why people keep hanging in negativity when the world is such a beautiful place. But tbh I do relish the contrarian. He gives me perspective.

[@mohamedathie8254]

The man spoke truthfully. His message is uplifting. He did not need to be an orator to connect with anyone who is interested in developing their speaking skills. He did a good. He was not a fake kind of speaker.

[@Briannadawn20]

Love this episode. I am planning on becoming a speaker and motivating speaker. This episode is eye opening and makes a lot of sense on why some people make a huge impact on others life’s vs others who only speak words and everyone present is left asking them why did I waste my time coming here tonight.

[@minamar1]

Authonticity is the first and only rule. it drives anything else. Your emotions and thoughts will speak for themselves. It is not difficult to understabd why. Being authentic, you focus, you ignore anything else that bothers you or indoubt, you see the important to you points, and then passion will kicks in and the words will not matter. I understood this without ever taking any public speaking lessons or watching videos etc. I understood it by simple observation and from my self. I am a horrible as a communicator. I never got any job offer in my life just because of that. But, when I speak about suffering, about justice and injustice, about politics and the need to reform, but when I speak about all that, I do feel that I can move a mountain.

Such an unbelievably well articulated & immeasurably useful video. Thanks so much! Ive forwarded this onto my facebook page in hopes that all who look to be inspired and educated on mastering public speaking get as much benefit from it as I have.

Just add in the caveat to your FB page that the reference to 7%, 38% and 55% is nonsense. He's misquoting some research by Professor albery Mehrabian from the 1960s. Richard Greene proves the point himself by playing a great speech from Winston Churchill where we only hear the audio. And yet 55% of our understanding apparently comes from body language. Go figure.

Apologies - Albert Mehrabian

Amazing how many people think or claim to be good speakers, but all they do is talk at the audience. Many also don't really relay a message, they just ramble. Hope those people watch this video! Sheryl

Secret #8: stay on the red spot provided by Ted Talks.

[@TaraWagner]

Sebastian Mollega was wondering the same thing! 😆 I wonder if he was in front because the light was too bright or there’s something to being closer to the audience?

[@tuananhnguyen360]

Obviously

[@mac1bc]

some of these presidential speeches need to be replayed today. they are still relevant.

[@neticrebel6871]

the irony of that being a truth, is there ineffectiveness.
