In my previous post I discussed Does your speech have ‘legs’? Erik Palmer’s PVLEGS is a checklist for evaluating speaking by public school students. In that acronym P stands for poise, so I next looked for videos on that topic.
Patrick Barry teaches at the University of Michigan Law School. He has a public speaking series with twenty YouTube videos on the five topics of Poise, Rhythm, Optimism, Dynamic, and the Unexpected. They are not linked together in a coherent way, but I searched them out and organized them. (He also has a lot of videos about writing, which I will discuss later).
There are a half-dozen about POISE in speaking from the Good with Words workshop series posted on March 30, 2018. Those total to just over 12 minutes:
Poise: oxygen should be a part of your presentation (2:48)
Poise: you don’t win points for saying the most words (1:09)
Poise: interpersonal skills (2:10)
Poise: the virtue of clarity (1:09)
There are seven more on RHYTHM:
Rhythm: rhetorical repetition (anaphora and epistrophe)(2:14)
Rhythm: parallel structure (“safe place. Real support.”)(2:44)
Rhythm: structure, specifics, stakes (0:41)
Rhythm: the rule of three (4:06)
Rhythm: constraints can be freeing (1:20)
Rhythm: order out of chaos (1:00)
There are three on OPTIMISM:
Optimism: smile more than you think appropriate (1:55)
Optimism: the smile of someone who has something to share(0:54)
Optimism: informed hope and entrepreneurs of ideas (2:16)
There are two on being DYNAMIC:
Dynamic: your mouth should not be the only thing that moves(3:23)
Dynamic: a bad presentation with good technology is still abad presentation (1:01)
And finally, there are two on the UNEXPECTED:
Unexpected: be surprising in a convincing way (2:28)
Unexpected: include a little mischief (1:32)
