Public speaking in the 21st century
In the 21st century, you must communicate effectively to succeed. It can be the difference between landing your dream job, winning a multi-million dollar contract or delivering a moving speech at a wedding. More and more we are required to speak in public, at conferences, during business meetings, accepting awards, teaching a class, during media events and many other occasions. It has become increasingly hard to avoid public speaking events as oratory skills have become so important. Obama is one of the greatest public speakers of the 21st century.
Famous public speakers throughout history
1. Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill was the British Prime Minister during WW2. He understood his talent of oratory and once wrote, “of all the talents bestowed on men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory.” When WW2 started and France was defeated, he gave his most inspirational speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches”. And when London was suffering from its worst bombardment during the Blitz, his speeches motivated the British to “never surrender”. In 1953, Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, in part for his speeches.
2. John F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy was the thirty-fifth president of the United States from 1961-63. His speeches were very powerful and inspirational. His speech “We Choose to Go to the Moon” is considered as one of the most influential to persuade the Americans for the space expedition to the moon. His speech at the Berlin wall in 1963 can also be considered one of the finest pieces of oratory. Just a few months previously, the Soviet Union had built the Berlin wall. Kennedy’s message to the west Berliners was to assure them of US support against the threat of the communists in the east.
3. Socrates
Standing accused of crimes including corrupting the youth of Athens, Socrates had a choice: defer and apologize to his accusers for his alleged crimes, or reformulate their scattered accusations into proper legal form and deliver an exhaustive defence for the pursuit of truth, apologizing for nothing.
4. Adolf Hitler
He could hold the attention of millions as he spoke and, with a huge amount of charisma, generated a strong following among Germans at the time. Hitler was well aware that mastering the art of public speaking was crucial to his political career and would spend hours upon hours rehearsing his speeches. Hitler is an example of a leader who took advantage of his oratory skills and used them as a power for war and genocide, resulting in the death of millions. It's important for us to remember that, as public speakers, we have an ethical obligation to use the power of public speaking for good - to use our skills to spread ideas and stories that are beneficial to humankind.
