Stories and Jokes
It is 10 times harder to command the ear than to catch the eye.”
When you have
to reach something to someone, you should deliver it in the same shape you
intended without any damage. The package should ensure that there is no transit
damage or loss. This applies to delivering your speech also. You should plan
how to deliver it and ensure that the audience receive the message in the same
way. You should also use the concept of
'packaging' your speech so that the content, the logic and the spirit of
communication is 'not lost in transit'!
Stories and
joke serve this purpose. They help to retain the attention of the audience to
what you say. You should understand that unless and until the audience are
interested in what you say, they will switch off.
Stories and
jokes help you to package your speech sin such a way that the listener
understands the substance of your message correctly. They help your message to
'embed' in the minds of the audience. That is what grand parents did when we
were young! But over the years we have forgotten how to tell a story or a joke.
In the next
few newsletters we will know how to tell a story or a joke to make our speech
interesting.
