I like to listen to people to make talk in public. Well pronounced speaking in public is a joy to listen to. The way someone articulates what they should / means. The intonation of their voice to give a different accent. The message itself. Well done, speaking in public can move you, inspire you, motivate you.
I don't think we give people the opportunity to speak in public. I like to speak in public and pay a lot of attention to the way I give a conference. But, speech in public can be learned. This can be practiced, and you can become very good in this area. For me, the actors are the best to speak in public. I am a big fan of Michael McIntyre (a British actor), and I saw him play live 4 times – each time, commanding a play of almost 15,000 people. The actors are not only shine and deliver. They repeat and train meticulously. All account.
I also think that music artists are brilliant in public performances. This year, my children were super lucky to see Bruno Mars Live (an American R&B singer) and a Bhangra artist called Diljit Dosanjh. They really liked the two performances. Bruno Mars because they know his songs, and Diljit Dosanjh because he is a Sikh man and ends a world tour. Music artists are obsessed with all the details of their performance. Nothing happens, they did not practice and do not know very well.
I pay a lot of attention when I listen to someone pronounce a conference. What do they say? Why does it make sense? I have heard a lot of conferences and it is quite common to hear many notes / discussion points / similar analogies. These days, I am more interested in the way these similar discussion points are used to help the speaker get their message. For many, I know that when they hear familiar discussion points, they will judge and say “I have heard nothing new”.
The fact is that it is not always something new. This is more the story / story / message that someone wants to share. If you want a good reflection, many books can provide this. But a public discourse can provide emotions more viscerally – although, no doubt, a well -written book can do so too.
Recently, I went to a local TEDX event. I was there to support mainly my nephew who delivered a discourse on “the intersections of creativity”, where he explained how his identity and his acceptance of his identity have presented themselves in different works of art over the years. I was also able to listen to several other speakers, and I appreciated them all. But what I realized that I appreciated is that it is important for people to share their stories. And here, I listened to 9 speakers carrying their work, their thoughts and their passions so that others can hear and listen. There is a lot of vulnerability that accompanies public speaking, and whatever it is delivered, we must always be aware that this counts for the speaker.
My nephew has told his story, and that filled me with such pride. First of all, here is my nephew that goes to a public scene to talk about what matters to him. A beautiful mixture of his inheritance, his family, his culture and his personal identity, and the way in which his art was and continues to be informed by whom he is. He is his art, his art is him. It was a courageous thing to do, and he told his story very well. He had his story. It was and that is to say. I love it so much.
And I saw many other speakers of the day do the same. Talking about the reason why the mental health of men is important and how we need to create security in men sharing how they are. On the importance of representation and if there is no representation to have your right to be this person and to represent those who cannot and do not know how to do it by themselves. On the impact of a support community on how you manage sorrow, and by the community and the support of others, we learn to face our sorrow. About the intestine and how we do not eat enough foods rich in fiber to help us maintain a healthy intestine, and therefore a healthy body. On the risks of cybersecurity against children and the way children are constantly threatened by people with very dark and harmful intentions against online children.
Important messages that are so different from Tiktok, Instagram coils, podcasts and other forms of content from social media. But just listen to people to talk to an environment where they say, and how it comes can bring out such a rich and fresh thought.
