Multiple Intelligence Training Tips & Strategies--Making A Speech
Using multiple intelligence training tips and strategies insures that everything you do and say will be unforgettable. Part of the difficulty here is that people are used to being passive recipients. You've got to quickly change this expectation so they are actively involved from the get go!
1. First of all pay attention to the visual appeal of yourself, how you're dressed, how you move to the podium or stage, and the tone of your speaking.
2. Find ways to instantly connect with the audience. One of the best ways to do this is by telling a story which you know will really grab their attention.
3. Introduce what you'll be talking about using some kind of visual representation, such at an object, a PowerPoint slide, or a picture.
4. Get some feedback from the audience. Ask why they're there, what they're hoping to get out of your speech, or what questions they have.
5. Give them a brief description of your agenda for the presentation making sure they understand the logic and rationale of where you plan to go.
6. Several times during your speech ask your audience to turn to a partner and briefly discuss something you've talked about. At the end of this have them stand and give people around them a "high five" and make some verbal declaration to them which underscores what you're talking about.
For example, I'll often have people turn to people around them, give each other a high five and say "You're smarter than you think you are!" Corny? Yes, but it works! It gets people actively involved in the presentation.
7. Use sound and music to reinforce what you're saying. I'll sometimes use a brief musical interlude to call attention to transitions in my speech, or I'll have the audience make a sound which underscores what I've been talking about.
8. Use physical movement to illustrate the key points you want to make (e.g. gestures, posture, facial expressions, "body language", acting somethng out, doing a hands-on demonstration).
9. At the end of your speech, recap what you've talked about using as many multiple intelligences teaching and learning strategies as possible.
For example create a diagram of your key points; associate a line from a song that sums up what you were talking about; share a short poem or limerick about your topic; mention a quote from a famous person; create a metaphor from the natural world; and so on.
10. Ask your audience to think of at least one personal application of what you been talking about.
By tapping as many learning modalities as possible you increase the impact of what you're presenting. You'll reach everyone, everytime - guaranteed!
