Mindvalley Talks A few things that that I learned is to tie everything in together and be more detailed so the audience can go there with you! This was inspiring and i am going to use my story and experiences to help others! Thank you for some of the best speakers I have heard!!
I am going to invest in learning to become a charismatic story teller. I never realized how important this is until Eric caught my attention and I stop to listen to both of the videos. Now I understand being an intelligent Engineer is just not enough. Learning to capture someones attention and hold it is an important skill for selling ideas.
I love making notes these days and eric's talk forced me to do that. His talk is so valuable . THANK YOU so much♥️♥️ Below are my notes. Eric Edmeades PART 1: 1) Always have fun and give fun. 2) Tell stories 3) Make the audience laugh in first 30 seconds of your speech i.e. start with a predictable laugh 4) Never tell anyone that you are nervous. Never let the audience feel you are nervous even if you are. 5) Take full deep breaths , it makes you feel safe and you can more be YOU. 6) Use different methods to make the talk interesting i.e. engage the audience 7) Always approach strategically with definite objectives 8) Plan and predict the reactions of audience 9) Give them value through your speech. Give them what they want. 10) Use your eyes in soft gazing way Part 2: stage effect 1) The quality of your speech and size of the audience tells how much people will be attracted by you. 2) when you address a group of people you make a lasting impression whereas you meet them in person you have less to share and people barely remember you unless you are marketing etc. 3) stage effect has immediate and powerful return in financial terms. 4) become good at speaking at conferences where people with variety of interests are present. Your target is to use broad spectrum appeal that is to grab the attention of highest amount of people. KEYS - tell stories because they trigger emotion ( for broad spectrum multi layered) - no emotion no memory - find the common thread between the audience Delivery 1) Be who you are so that you can form a heart connection with audience 2) Don't be afraid to forget your speech, if you can engage them they will tell you where you lost 3) You already are a good communicator 4) Three types of • Visual ( loud , fast ) • Auditory ( better pronunciation , careful ) • Kinesthetic ( feelings, long pauses ) Use the charisma pattern to form the crescendo. Start from kinesthetic to visual. 5) Speak to the audience in a language they want to hear and they want to hear all of the above three. 6) Nervousness and excitement have same effect on you and to convert nervousness into excitement have pictures in your head. Nervousness is excitement about scary things. Excitement is nervousness about cool things. 7) Belief eats evidence to grow. Always believe in positive things and you will start spotting the evidence and once you find a evidence your belief grows. People you might want to know after this: Tonny robbins Martin luther king Robert plant Lose yourself by eminem If you think i missed something. please let me know that would be really valuable. P.s. - now i just want to one thing before i do anything I want to become a public speaker
Dang, can't believe I just watched both videos of this guy . Most valuable 2 hours today. Really helped me answer a question I have avoided. I give thanks.
I watched these two parts today again, and I had such a joy and laughing with tears and a release of pressure. This is how real speaking is done, stories wich make memories stick, and creates emotion.
How to become a master Public Speaker; *Use the charisma curve* - start at Kinetic, go up to Audible and occasionally go to Visual in order to engage the whole audience. Audiences are usually thermostats, audiences usually follow a scale from K-V *Learn the art of storytelling* - Use youtube to see archives on great speeches - Use a common topic that everyone in the audience will be interested in - Intentionally forget things to keep the audience engaged - Create suspense and climax to make your story more memorable, even if it is a presentation on numbers
I’m 64 and had FOB speech coming up. Had no experience of speaking, no ideas, no confidence. Watched this - aced my speech! Thanks to this man. Genius.
My 12 year old girl and I watched part 1 & 2 in one sitting. At the end of the second video, my daughter wanted to keep listening 😀. This was the first time my daughter watched a talk this long. What a great speaker! Thank you Mindvalley! Thank you for bringing speakers that can keep kids attention and at the same time teach them valuable lessons. We love it! 🥰
"Emotion is the glue that causes memories to stick." Amazing quote. The information needs to be delivered in a story format. When it is delivered in story format it is memorable. Broad-spectrum appeal it starts with the recognition that story is the ultimate language it's the ultimate operating system for the brain. No emotion no memory. What is the common thread of the audience.
Is it a coincidence that I stumbled on this video and I am from Tanzania, Kilimanjaro specifically.....? lol about the Cop thing... We're so cool out here.... Karibuni sana sana.
This was absolutely amazing. Eric does not give a motivational talk on "getting better" at public speaking, but actually addresses fears and makes a case of why we should ALL get better at this. Thanks so much for this!!
1:02:39 'We believe in degrees.' Most powerful thing I have heard here. Totally agree that Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic communication styles all appeal to each person in degrees too, it's not either or.
im studying public speaking for an upcoming big event and im so glad i stumbled upon this vid. cant believed ive watched both videos without getting bored and distracted!!! you're so amazing eric! thank you so much!
I'm a new comedian and feel like I've just had therapy, just amazing. I so want to be a speaker! Watch this space! It's going to help me KEEP KORMA & Curry On! AKA Ruby Murray!
At first I found the flattened disco collar distracting but I stuck it out and ended up loving this guy. Just watched the full two eposodes and now im looking at taking some classes with him. Breath deep, soft gaze, dont be excited or nervious, start predictable with a laugh, tell stories, get audience to participate, use vocal range.
I teach yoga and recently been story telling in my classes. The students love it. I'm going to add some humor in the mix when I start my classes. Thank you for this video. I'm definitely going to make sure I don't appear nervous when I speak.
I love it when he says "Ladies and gentleman and fellow toastmasters". I have been listening to Eric for a week now repeating part 1 and 2 and i love it i have learnt a lot from him than all the training i have attended in person
Not only is this my first time coming across Eric Edmeadas but it is also my first time actually sitting down and watching a video for more than 2 and a half hours straight! With no breaks! I learned a lot in this video and I will forever remember all the useful information I've gained from it. Thanks Eric!
He sells a training on speaking. He's so good he's selling that training and no one even notices. He inceptions the value becoming a speaker has with this talk. He is doing what he's preaching, but it doesn't seem like preaching. It feels like a genuine talk that provides value. This is a masterclass right here.
Hmm I was doing my nails when I started part one of this video, I thought I needed something entertaining and long enough till the polish dries, then it's bed time. The first time I notice you was wearing short-Eric, I wanted to change the vid, but I couldn't bc I haven't finish painting. Three hours later I had an idea in how I can present my info session at work differently. And my nails are impeccably beautiful. Thank you for sharing the valuable philosophy about story telling and steps how to get there!!!
That was an interesting story, Wendy. I'm curious why you, "wanted to change the vid," just because he was wearing shorts? I would imagine you believe a speaker wearing the proper business attire, ~ suit, tie, shiny black shoes, would be a bit more visually qualified to present a given topic. Lol, don't judge a book by it's cover. Many politicians wear lovely expensive suits. Hitler even wore a suit. I'd advise everyone not to base their expectations solely on a mans clothing, or a woman's impeccably beautiful nails. . .
One of the finest pair of presentations on public speaking on UA-cam; finished both of them in a single sitting. He is going to be followed by me for listening to his other recordings. I have been watching Mindvalley since its inception and you have matured and seasoned like the wine! Thanks Vishen & keep going farther.
I when I walked out today to reach my destination i was very excited, but as I was travelling through government transports, okay U must have understood my comfort level, then as my journey begin my enthusiasm turned which was sky high fell down as low as it could be and at such period of time I was way Lucky enough to somehow reach this video and vitness this charismatic personality ( Eric sir). It was a pleasure listening U sir, these two hours were like one of the most knowledgable time I could possibly have. I have nothing but respect for U sir!!!!!
Wow! Love youtube for this, but this is the first time I have heard Eric Edmeades speak. I learned a lot about becoming a master public speaker. I would even say I learned more from this video then the public speaking class that I am taking in my first semester in college. Eric if you read this I just want to say that your an incredible speaker and an inspiration. I would love to be able to talk with you sometime or even go to one of your shows!!!
I stumbled onto part 1 of this talk while benchmarking speakers and trainers for my own speaking business. I admit I almost didn’t make it through the first ten minutes. A ten-minute story before Eric got to the purpose statement. But I stuck it out (sic: as a Visual person, I guess I hadn’t seen the start yet!) I did. And I am infinitely grateful that I did. Eric does so much, through example and story, to debunk classic public speaking myths! I loved it!! Now, applying this to business speaking, where time and entrenched expectations are looming limitations, is another story. I can’t wait to learn more!
Thank you Sir i listened to both parts and you created the right momentum in me to start launching my 10 mins talk to Entrepreneurs... I learnt the Charisma pattern and this is what in wanted to hear.... I am a natural speaker ... but somehow was not so confident to going to stage .. I love storytelling and you said it write it engages your audience .. i just need to adjust my vocal techniques... Thank you so so much
The stage effect is kinda like the quality of your presentation plus the size of the audience creates the level of attraction you create as a speaker. Nervousness is just excitement bout scary stuff, and excitement is just nervousness bout super cool stuff. One of the most powerful thing you can change about yourself is your belief. Beliefs are like little viruses, there eat only one kind of food, and that is evidence. Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Thank you Eric!! That was THE BEST talk I've watched in the past 2 years! I need to watch it on normal speed, especially the second part of the P2, where you demonstrate the voices. Absolutely Brilliant teaching
Carisma pattern is that I've never heard before. I just published one youtube video where I'm speaking. It is so booooring. I can't wait to implement these techniques especially this new thing called Carisma pattern. Great Talk Eric..
I teach writing and public speaking courses for undergraduates, and I Love Mindvalley's videos. Mostly, students who enroll in my classes are shy, extremely introverts, ESL, and/or hate public speaking in general :/. So, I usually use these fantastic Talks as educational materials for class preparation and discussions; and unsurprisingly, my students are always excited about it and more verbally engaged. Thanks, Mindvalley, for the awesome speakers and meaningful knowledge that you offer to the world :)
Thank you, Eric, for another insightful video! Your perspective on public speaking as a tool for connection and impact is truly inspiring. 🌍 It’s fascinating to think about how communication transcends borders. On that note, I’ve always believed that national boundaries, while practical in some ways, are often illusions that separate us more than they unite us. They can perpetuate divisions and even lead to conflicts, instead of fostering the understanding and collaboration we need as a global community. Your message reinforces how we can use speaking and storytelling to bridge those divides.
I'm an incredibly visual thinker and people have always criticized me for the speed/volume and general 'ugliness' of my voice (mean)...it makes so much sense that the visual component is why!
41:22 Being able to communicate is your right!! thank you Eric, you are my inspiration ... i'll be there in the stage soon!!!! thats why i created my channel to practice english :)
Wow when he mentioned those 2 songs at the end and why they were so great it shocked me beca they are 2 of my favorite song! He is a fantastic speaker. Immense knowledge here
Living in Fort McMurray the past 11 years, I get the part about how cold your time must have been in Edmonton. Brrr. I had a few good chuckles mixed in with the many many insights during this talk. I didn't want it to end. The envelopes...I would have been one of the couple should have looked forward to such a test. I've done similar things to myself in order to improve...call me selfish lol. I "volunteered" for the empty safety rep position on our shift at work, partly for, you know safety and stuff, but also partly for my own benefit to have to give a monthly talk in a conference room of about 25 of my peers. The difference in the two years ended that was the comfortableness. Looking forward, Eric, to diving into some more of your talks.
I have decided to write down a kind of "OVERVIEW" of BOTH the first and second part. With overview I do not mean timestaps, rather I mean things he said (note however, that I write them down in the same order as he is telling them in his talk). All the things I am going to write are from him, some sentences word by word, some sentences changed a bit. I will divide my writing in Part 1 and Part 2, but I will not provide any timestaps. Further note, that Eric uses stories/examples to make things more clear/visual, which I do not provide in this overview. That said, I hope this will be helpful for some people.
############################### PART 1 ############################### - stories make it possible for us to survive; our DNA loves stories; - speaking is one of the most powerful forces there is in our society; - being a speaker, being comfortable sharing your ideas, being influential in the way you communicate can triple or more your income; - speaking obliterates all other advantages (e. g. heigt, gender); it is the most powerful thing you can do for your professional life; - we were NOT born to be afraid of public speaking/communicating; - the minute you start producing cortisol and adrenaline, you step back in time in your brain; you go to the more primitive parts of your brain; the more scared you are, the more primitive you go; we become more pessimistic and we lose touch with our proper brain; - children are the toughest audience ever; - Fear of missing out (FOMO) can absolutely get in your way of creating an incredible financial future; - Today, if you want to influence people, you have to start to think about them, talk to them; - Always have really clear, strategic objectives before communication (e. g. have fun); - Never let the audience notice that you are nervous (otherwise you will not believe people; their prais & warm words are platitudes & lies); - never go overtime; - your breathing has everything to do with how safe you feel; - when we are only operating on instinct everything will look scarier than it really is, because it is safer that way; - when you breathe really full, you communicate to your DNA that your environment is safe; - Excitement is nervousness about something cool and nervousness is just excitement about something scary; _______________________________________________ - Things to make you feel better going on stage: *breathing deeply *using your eyes in a soft, gazing way *we see the presentation coming out beautifully *we never let the audience see us nervous *be predictable in that first bit of your talk; know exactly what you're going to say so that you can create a predictive response from the audience in the first 30 seconds _______________________________________________ ############################### PART 2 ############################### - The stage effect is the unfair advantage that you create for yourself by standing in front of an audience; - The quality of your presentation plus the size of the audience creates the level of attraction you create as a speaker (e. g. views on UA-cam); - nothing will create a more lasting impression than face-to-face contact, but it is not very practical; - face-to-face contact, however, is even more powerful face-to-faces; - one of the greatest tools of the introvert is learning how to be great at storytelling and standing on stage because then you don't have to go meet people; the come and meet you; _______________________________________________ - Broad spectrum appeal: deliver with broad spectrum, i. e. in a way where the audience likes what is going on even if the topic is not a direct match for them *USE STORIES (stories are the operating system of the human mind) **stories can trigger emotion; no emotion -> no memory; emotion is the glue that causes memories to stick; **remember to deliver information in story format (you don't need to know a lot of stories); **one of the important type of stories to tell are metaphorical or allegorical, where you tell a story that the audience wants to hear but that's teaching them something else; **stories are broad spectrum automatically; *USE A RANGE OF VOCAL TECHNIQUES **deliver with passion; be who you are; put heart and soul into your talk; **you should know you story so well that you can tell them with imperfections; _______________________________________________ - Communication frequencies: *VISUAL: like to talk in picture; usually quickly and loudly; *AUDITORY: more steady tone; talk with a predictable cadence; in a way that is quite pleasant to listen to for a short period of time; use words like "listen to me", "I'd like to share"; *KINESTHETIC: talk really quietly; use long pauses; give you time to process the things they've said; use words like "feeling", "warmth" and "connection"; - The spread of those type of communication frequencies within the audience is more thermostatic than discrete (i. e. 30% of that type, 40% of that, etc.); - you need to speak to the audience in the language they want to hear; _______________________________________________ - Charisma Pattern: *Start with Kinesthetic people; building rapport with them; *as you start to warm up the auditory people start to notice (the kinesthetic people still think it is a good talk eventhough it's come up; it's called pacing and leading (a term from NLP)); *finally you build up to crescendo; visual people start to notice (the kinesthetic people still like your talk because you took them there); _______________________________________________ - when stories are being told and delivered well, you create Time Warp, you create illusion; _______________________________________________ -Remember: *BREATHE PROPERLY; push your stomach out as you breathe not your chest; do two or three of those and you will feel better; *USE YOUR EYES softly and gaze out at the world; you will create a feeling of being incredibly relaxed; *NERVOUSNESS AND EXCITEMENT are effectively the same thing; if you can learn to create better pictures in your head you will transition your nervousness into excitement; *START YOUR TALK with a really predictable beginning; _______________________________________________ - you can only dream and fantasize from the position you're in right now;
I just watched both videos back to back, unbelievable content thank you!!.....And how funny was it when a Tony Robins video and informercial came right after? Lol, the Universe has the best sense of humour
I have so much to say and so many stories to tell and I believe that I can change the lives of MILLIONS! I just have to find a stage and a platform of people to listen to me !

I am going to invest in learning to become a charismatic story teller. I never realized how important this is until Eric caught my attention and I stop to listen to both of the videos.

Thank you so much..Eric...IAM looking for a sponsor now....
Belief system and mechanisms around it
I love making notes these days and eric's talk forced me to do that. His talk is so valuable . THANK YOU so much♥️♥️
Below are my notes.
Eric Edmeades
PART 1:
1) Always have fun and give fun.
2) Tell stories
3) Make the audience laugh in first 30 seconds of your speech i.e. start with a predictable laugh
4) Never tell anyone that you are nervous.
Never let the audience feel you are nervous even if you are.
5) Take full deep breaths , it makes you feel safe and you can more be YOU.
6) Use different methods to make the talk interesting i.e. engage the audience
7) Always approach strategically with definite objectives
8) Plan and predict the reactions of audience
9) Give them value through your speech. Give them what they want.
10) Use your eyes in soft gazing way
Part 2:
stage effect
1) The quality of your speech and size of the audience tells how much people will be attracted by you.
2) when you address a group of people you make a lasting impression whereas you meet them in person you have less to share and people barely remember you unless you are marketing etc.
3) stage effect has immediate and powerful return in financial terms.
4) become good at speaking at conferences where people with variety of interests are present. Your target is to use broad spectrum appeal that is to grab the attention of highest amount of people.
KEYS
- tell stories because they trigger emotion ( for broad spectrum multi layered)
- no emotion no memory
- find the common thread between the audience
Delivery
1) Be who you are so that you can form a heart connection with audience
2) Don't be afraid to forget your speech, if you can engage them they will tell you where you lost
3) You already are a good communicator
4) Three types of
• Visual ( loud , fast )
• Auditory ( better pronunciation , careful )
• Kinesthetic ( feelings, long pauses )
Use the charisma pattern to form the crescendo. Start from kinesthetic to visual.
5) Speak to the audience in a language they want to hear and they want to hear all of the above three.
6) Nervousness and excitement have same effect on you and to convert nervousness into excitement have pictures in your head.
Nervousness is excitement about scary things. Excitement is nervousness about cool things.
7) Belief eats evidence to grow.
Always believe in positive things and you will start spotting the evidence and once you find a evidence your belief grows.

P.s. - now i just want to one thing before i do anything
I want to become a public speaker
Thank you so much for valuable information.
Thanks. You rock, too.
Well done
Great love it
Thank you! Yours is so inclusive and you inspire me. I feel as if I found a fellow learner of public speech.
Thank you so much!!
Dang, can't believe I just watched both videos of this guy . Most valuable 2 hours today. Really helped me answer a question I have avoided. I give thanks.
Ditto
me too really enjoyed, i'm ready to do the speaking, i already have the stories.
Thanks a lot, Mechelle.
Now you just need to find someone to book you. Which is not going to happen because this guy is full of shit
@@NikolaLevak 😱🥺
I watched these two parts today again, and I had such a joy and laughing with tears and a release of pressure. This is how real speaking is done, stories wich make memories stick, and creates emotion.
This is the first time I've ever watch a video this long without falling asleep. What an amazing speaker.. Very inspiring.
How to become a master Public Speaker;
*Use the charisma curve*
- start at Kinetic, go up to Audible and occasionally go to Visual in order to engage the whole audience. Audiences are usually thermostats, audiences usually follow a scale from K-V
*Learn the art of storytelling*
- Use youtube to see archives on great speeches
- Use a common topic that everyone in the audience will be interested in
- Intentionally forget things to keep the audience engaged
- Create suspense and climax to make your story more memorable, even if it is a presentation on numbers
Thank u!
His speaking voice is so influencing. I think I'm changing my major to communications.
Hello
I’m 64 and had FOB speech coming up. Had no experience of speaking, no ideas, no confidence. Watched this - aced my speech!
Thanks to this man.
Genius.
My 12 year old girl and I watched part 1 & 2 in one sitting. At the end of the second video, my daughter wanted to keep listening 😀. This was the first time my daughter watched a talk this long. What a great speaker! Thank you Mindvalley! Thank you for bringing speakers that can keep kids attention and at the same time teach them valuable lessons. We love it! 🥰
How to breathe was perhaps the best tip but I also loved the perspective on being excited vs being nervous
jayceejm totally. Even I like this idea too
"Emotion is the glue that causes memories to stick." Amazing quote.
The information needs to be delivered in a story format. When it is delivered in story format it is memorable.
Broad-spectrum appeal it starts with the recognition that story is the ultimate language it's the ultimate operating system for the brain.
No emotion no memory.
What is the common thread of the audience.
This is the best public speaking video I have ever seen ❤
Cheers to this guy, who is behind the movie Avatar. Love your talk! Thanks to Mindvalley too.
Well, let's not overstate that. My company did one small sequence for Avatar... ;-)
@@EricEdmeades I see it, still amazing sir. Great work!
Who else binge watched both part 1 & 2 of these videos with me ? 😅
And who binge watched more than once?
So delicious wasn’t it? I think I’ll have a second helping. 😉
I have ....
Me!! One of the best speakers I’ve ever heard gabriela the stories are 👀👀😳 amazing
He just makes sense and funny too
Speaker was one of the best i ever heard
Being comfortable to communicate👍
l love this speaker. now l have found a great communicator.
Is it a coincidence that I stumbled on this video and I am from Tanzania, Kilimanjaro specifically.....? lol about the Cop thing... We're so cool out here.... Karibuni sana sana.
I just spent more than 2 hours (part 1 and 2) from a video I wasn't expecting to watch. Really great lessons to learn. I really enjoyed watching this.
I know Lucas. He's still killing it today. He's a fantastic storyteller and an all around good person.
Wow I loved both videos! 🔥 I’m watching them twice 😅😅
This Guy really knows his Stuff! Awesome.
This dude is blowing my mind!
This was absolutely amazing. Eric does not give a motivational talk on "getting better" at public speaking, but actually addresses fears and makes a case of why we should ALL get better at this. Thanks so much for this!!
This is a wonderful leacture thank you so much for your vedio leacture.
Of all the public speaking videos i have seen this is by far the best. Brilliant speaker! Tons of take aways. Thanks Eric!
I am from Poland i am so happy that UA-cam was inverted because i can learn from you
1:02:39 'We believe in degrees.' Most powerful thing I have heard here. Totally agree that Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic communication styles all appeal to each person in degrees too, it's not either or.
im studying public speaking for an upcoming big event and im so glad i stumbled upon this vid. cant believed ive watched both videos without getting bored and distracted!!! you're so amazing eric! thank you so much!

I teach yoga and recently been story telling in my classes. The students love it. I'm going to add some humor in the mix when I start my classes. Thank you for this video. I'm definitely going to make sure I don't appear nervous when I speak.
Yogi Bryan true. Story telling along with some blend of humor would bring delicious fruits (results)
A great concept all teachers should learn. “Teachers aren’t being taught how to teach, they’re being taught how to babysit and run curriculum.” ❤️
I love it when he says "Ladies and gentleman and fellow toastmasters". I have been listening to Eric for a week now repeating part 1 and 2 and i love it i have learnt a lot from him than all the training i have attended in person
the best of the best of MV!
Not only is this my first time coming across Eric Edmeadas but it is also my first time actually sitting down and watching a video for more than 2 and a half hours straight! With no breaks! I learned a lot in this video and I will forever remember all the useful information I've gained from it. Thanks Eric!

Thank you for sharing the valuable philosophy about story telling and steps how to get there!!!
Hi Wendy, we hope you enjoyed the discussion. Thanks for watching this video. We appreciate it.
That was an interesting story, Wendy. I'm curious why you, "wanted to change the vid," just because he was wearing shorts?
I would imagine you believe a speaker wearing the proper business attire, ~ suit, tie, shiny black shoes, would be a bit more visually qualified to present a given topic.
Lol, don't judge a book by it's cover. Many politicians wear lovely expensive suits. Hitler even wore a suit.
I'd advise everyone not to base their expectations solely on a mans clothing, or a woman's impeccably beautiful nails. . .
This guy is a great speaker but the way he is dressed certainly is not professional and distracting to what hes saying. He should dress appropriately.
One of the finest pair of presentations on public speaking on UA-cam; finished both of them in a single sitting. He is going to be followed by me for listening to his other recordings. I have been watching Mindvalley since its inception and you have matured and seasoned like the wine! Thanks Vishen & keep going farther.

It is really rewarding to see people deeply appreciating this talk
. Thanks a lot for your sharing. This is amazing.
What a memorable speech. Speeches like these have a great impact on someone’s life. Thank you.
Wow! Love youtube for this, but this is the first time I have heard Eric Edmeades speak. I learned a lot about becoming a master public speaker.

This is amazing. Thanks a lot, Josiah. Hope it'll help you a lot!
Loving it
I watched both videos, the most enjoyable talks I ever had, and yet I learn a lot of valuable lessons from Eric. Big thank you to you, Eric.
Life changing tips
Story telling, emotions,using range in voice.
I stumbled onto part 1 of this talk while benchmarking speakers and trainers for my own speaking business. I admit I almost didn’t make it through the first ten minutes. A ten-minute story before Eric got to the purpose statement. But I stuck it out (sic: as a Visual person, I guess I hadn’t seen the start yet!) I did. And I am infinitely grateful that I did. Eric does so much, through example and story, to debunk classic public speaking myths! I loved it!! Now, applying this to business speaking, where time and entrenched expectations are looming limitations, is another story. I can’t wait to learn more!
It is really rewarding to see people deeply appreciating this talk
. Thanks a lot, Lisa.
this guy is my hero!!! i've learned a lot from him in my speaking career...
Thank you Sir i listened to both parts and you created the right momentum in me to start launching my 10 mins talk to Entrepreneurs... I learnt the Charisma pattern and this is what in wanted to hear.... I am a natural speaker ... but somehow was not so confident to going to stage .. I love storytelling and you said it write it engages your audience .. i just need to adjust my vocal techniques... Thank you so so much
The stage effect is kinda like the quality of your presentation plus the size of the audience creates the level of attraction you create as a speaker.
Nervousness is just excitement bout scary stuff, and excitement is just nervousness bout super cool stuff.
One of the most powerful thing you can change about yourself is your belief.
Beliefs are like little viruses, there eat only one kind of food, and that is evidence.
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Hello
A refreshing speaker !!
Lovely!!!
Eric is an excellent and informative speaker. I enjoyed every minute of his two talks. .
Thank you Eric!! That was THE BEST talk I've watched in the past 2 years! I need to watch it on normal speed, especially the second part of the P2, where you demonstrate the voices. Absolutely Brilliant teaching
I love the way he presents he is so engaging and you really want to keep listening to him. he is so real
Carrer changing information! 👌🏾
You, Mr. Eric, are a genius. Love and respect from Pakistan.
MindValley, my sincere congratulations. Offering this to the public is life changing. This guy is amazing.
👊👊👊You are master in english confidently.....💕💕💕
this guy is GOOD... speaks with ease and laid back if i could only possess a fraction of how he speaks....
Watched both part 1 & 2
Carisma pattern is that I've never heard before. I just published one youtube video where I'm speaking. It is so booooring. I can't wait to implement these techniques especially this new thing called Carisma pattern. Great Talk Eric..
You nailed it! Charisma makes us want to listen him closely even though the topic is funny however he makes it intriguing.
I teach writing and public speaking courses for undergraduates, and I Love Mindvalley's videos. Mostly, students who enroll in my classes are shy, extremely introverts, ESL, and/or hate public speaking in general :/. So, I usually use these fantastic Talks as educational materials for class preparation and discussions; and unsurprisingly, my students are always excited about it and more verbally engaged. Thanks, Mindvalley, for the awesome speakers and meaningful knowledge that you offer to the world :)
Thank you, Eric, for another insightful video! Your perspective on public speaking as a tool for connection and impact is truly inspiring. 🌍 It’s fascinating to think about how communication transcends borders. On that note, I’ve always believed that national boundaries, while practical in some ways, are often illusions that separate us more than they unite us. They can perpetuate divisions and even lead to conflicts, instead of fostering the understanding and collaboration we need as a global community. Your message reinforces how we can use speaking and storytelling to bridge those divides.
I did take a few notes what stood out most for me was
Emotions = Memory
No emotion = your forgotten
BARDS MAGICK ohh that’s great point. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this, Shawn.
Amazing talk I had l watched after ages. Simply incredible. Thanks Eric!
First thing that came to my mind was he's Chandler!!
His speaking is so influential I ended watching 2hrs and actually, it made perfect sense!
I was thinking a well spoken Michael Keaton with great legs!
& just like that public speaking sounds like a natural way of being. Thankyou!
I'm an incredibly visual thinker and people have always criticized me for the speed/volume and general 'ugliness' of my voice (mean)...it makes so much sense that the visual component is why!
I am hooked! I came across Eric by accident and can’t stop watching!
Motivational and life changing speaker thanks Eric and Mindvalley.
God sent... Africa Zimbabwe, simplicity is mastery... 0008
Just brilliant. Looked part 1&2 .... So worth it. He did my day!
41:22 Being able to communicate is your right!! thank you Eric, you are my inspiration ... i'll be there in the stage soon!!!! thats why i created my channel to practice english :)
I'm so excited and empowered! My future self will always remember these past 2+ hours! Thank you so much Eric & Vishen!🙏💗
Fantastic info. I watched the two videos back-to-back. I hope Eric E. still trains people.
Loveeeeee this talk. Lovvveeee Eric! Thank you Mindvalley
So insightful and entertaining- great speaker with a clear message
You are such a good speaker. I have learnt so much from both the videos.
🤣🤣
This guy is unbelievable!
i’m definitely going to watch this again and again
I am so glad that I took the time to watch both part on this youtube video about public speaking. Simply WOW. Thanks So MUCH!
Amazing and so much valuable
it was an amazing journey of two hours. thank you Eric and Mind valley team.
Thank you Eric Edmeades - this is so inspiring, perfect timing with a big presentation coming up next Tuesday!
He's amazing, literally
Wow when he mentioned those 2 songs at the end and why they were so great it shocked me beca they are 2 of my favorite song!
He is a fantastic speaker. Immense knowledge here
Tony Robbins impersonation on point!
I really enjoyed this session. I will be putting what he has said into practice. Thanks for sharing this video.
Living in Fort McMurray the past 11 years, I get the part about how cold your time must have been in Edmonton. Brrr.
I had a few good chuckles mixed in with the many many insights during this talk. I didn't want it to end.
The envelopes...I would have been one of the couple should have looked forward to such a test. I've done similar things to myself in order to improve...call me selfish lol. I "volunteered" for the empty safety rep position on our shift at work, partly for, you know safety and stuff, but also partly for my own benefit to have to give a monthly talk in a conference room of about 25 of my peers. The difference in the two years ended that was the comfortableness.
Looking forward, Eric, to diving into some more of your talks.
I have decided to write down a kind of "OVERVIEW" of BOTH the first and second part. With overview I do not mean timestaps, rather I mean things he said (note however, that I write them down in the same order as he is telling them in his talk). All the things I am going to write are from him, some sentences word by word, some sentences changed a bit. I will divide my writing in Part 1 and Part 2, but I will not provide any timestaps. Further note, that Eric uses stories/examples to make things more clear/visual, which I do not provide in this overview. That said, I hope this will be helpful for some people.
###############################
PART 1
###############################
- stories make it possible for us to survive; our DNA loves stories;
- speaking is one of the most powerful forces there is in our society;
- being a speaker, being comfortable sharing your ideas, being influential in the way you communicate can triple or more your income;
- speaking obliterates all other advantages (e. g. heigt, gender); it is the most powerful thing you can do for your professional life;
- we were NOT born to be afraid of public speaking/communicating;
- the minute you start producing cortisol and adrenaline, you step back in time in your brain; you go to the more primitive parts of your brain; the more scared you are, the more primitive you go; we become more pessimistic and we lose touch with our proper brain;
- children are the toughest audience ever;
- Fear of missing out (FOMO) can absolutely get in your way of creating an incredible financial future;
- Today, if you want to influence people, you have to start to think about them, talk to them;
- Always have really clear, strategic objectives before communication (e. g. have fun);
- Never let the audience notice that you are nervous (otherwise you will not believe people; their prais & warm words are platitudes & lies);
- never go overtime;
- your breathing has everything to do with how safe you feel;
- when we are only operating on instinct everything will look scarier than it really is, because it is safer that way;
- when you breathe really full, you communicate to your DNA that your environment is safe;
- Excitement is nervousness about something cool and nervousness is just excitement about something scary;
_______________________________________________
- Things to make you feel better going on stage:
*breathing deeply
*using your eyes in a soft, gazing way
*we see the presentation coming out beautifully
*we never let the audience see us nervous
*be predictable in that first bit of your talk; know exactly what you're going to say so that you can create a predictive response from the audience in the first 30 seconds
_______________________________________________
###############################
PART 2
###############################
- The stage effect is the unfair advantage that you create for yourself by standing in front of an audience;
- The quality of your presentation plus the size of the audience creates the level of attraction you create as a speaker (e. g. views on UA-cam);
- nothing will create a more lasting impression than face-to-face contact, but it is not very practical;
- face-to-face contact, however, is even more powerful face-to-faces;
- one of the greatest tools of the introvert is learning how to be great at storytelling and standing on stage because then you don't have to go meet people; the come and meet you;
_______________________________________________
- Broad spectrum appeal: deliver with broad spectrum, i. e. in a way where the audience likes what is going on even if the topic is not a direct match for them
*USE STORIES (stories are the operating system of the human mind)
**stories can trigger emotion; no emotion -> no memory; emotion is the glue that causes memories to stick;
**remember to deliver information in story format (you don't need to know a lot of stories);
**one of the important type of stories to tell are metaphorical or allegorical, where you tell a story that the audience wants to hear but that's teaching them something else;
**stories are broad spectrum automatically;
*USE A RANGE OF VOCAL TECHNIQUES
**deliver with passion; be who you are; put heart and soul into your talk;
**you should know you story so well that you can tell them with imperfections;
_______________________________________________
- Communication frequencies:
*VISUAL: like to talk in picture; usually quickly and loudly;
*AUDITORY: more steady tone; talk with a predictable cadence; in a way that is quite pleasant to listen to for a short period of time; use words like "listen to me", "I'd like to share";
*KINESTHETIC: talk really quietly; use long pauses; give you time to process the things they've said; use words like "feeling", "warmth" and "connection";
- The spread of those type of communication frequencies within the audience is more thermostatic than discrete (i. e. 30% of that type, 40% of that, etc.);
- you need to speak to the audience in the language they want to hear;
_______________________________________________
- Charisma Pattern:
*Start with Kinesthetic people; building rapport with them;
*as you start to warm up the auditory people start to notice (the kinesthetic people still think it is a good talk eventhough it's come up; it's called pacing and leading (a term from NLP));
*finally you build up to crescendo; visual people start to notice (the kinesthetic people still like your talk because you took them there);
_______________________________________________
- when stories are being told and delivered well, you create Time Warp, you create illusion;
_______________________________________________
-Remember:
*BREATHE PROPERLY; push your stomach out as you breathe not your chest; do two or three of those and you will feel better;
*USE YOUR EYES softly and gaze out at the world; you will create a feeling of being incredibly relaxed;
*NERVOUSNESS AND EXCITEMENT are effectively the same thing; if you can learn to create better pictures in your head you will transition your nervousness into excitement;
*START YOUR TALK with a really predictable beginning;
_______________________________________________
- you can only dream and fantasize from the position you're in right now;
Thank you !
