Your body language shapes who you are. A speech made by Amy cuddy explains on how your body language differentiates weather you are feeling powerful or powerless. On June 2012 at TEDGlobal Amy Cuddy made her speech to inform her audience about how your body language can have a meaning on how you’re feeling about your surroundings. Amy cuddy initiates her speech with an important attention getter in persuading the listener to change their body language by the end of the speech. Once I began watching this speech I was completely interested on her ideas because it is really important to know about our body language because we never notice about it.
In order to gain your audience’s attention, you will need to start off by asking a question or saying something that might relate to the listener’s experiences. Amy Cuddy began by giving a free no tech life hack that will help you along your life. Credibility is to make your audience believe about what you are saying and she established credibility by explaining how important your body

She used supporting materials such as videos and images that were humorous and also showing about what she was talking about, also she provided oral citations of her own work. The transitions that she made to let her audience know she was going to change or explain more in depth was that she used something similar to Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. For example, she began her saying “This is what we did” “This is what happens” “This is what we find”. She ended her speech with a conclusion that closed up the circle. She went back to the what she asked in the beginning and persuade her audience to change up and it guaranteed to change the outcomes of their life. Her speech was perfectly clear and creative, she used repetition on a phrase “Fake it till’ you make it” but then she changed it to “Fake it till” you become
to relate. For example, at the beginning of her speech she states, “When I was
She quickly transitions to explaining how it was not only opportunity but also hard work that got her to where she was. In opening sentence she states, “I was just counseled not to be nervous, that’s almost impossible.” This was the first sentence of her speech, it opened it up with a bit of humor as the entire crowd she wass talking to laughed. The feedback she received from her audience almost gives her slight ease, she feels like she has their full attention. Being nominated to the highest court house in the nation must have really caused her excitement. As she is talking she sometimes slows down to a point where it seems she doesn’t want to lose track of what she is saying. This can be due to psychological noise she might have been experiencing while delivering her speech. The excitement of being nominated for the high ranking position would have made most people have wondering thoughts about the future that awaits
She then immediately follows up with a way to fix it and demand respect. Shes trying to connect with the audience and shows that she has been in the same place, that she can relate. You can see that she has done her research, she uses plenty of statistics to give you a visual of what she is talking about as well as quoting people from organizations and giving them the appropriate credit. She mentions in 2005 at yale, her alma mater, 15 students sat in the admissions office until they were removed by police. These individuals were demanding changes to the financial aid policy.
She gives the listeners personal advice she has learned and uses pathos in a more emotional way. Her allusion to the world trade center is a perfect example of this. She reminds us how we can easily overcome obstacles when we work together with other people. Later in the address Amy Poehler shares a few things she learned from when she studied improvisation in Chicago. She says, “Say ‘yes.’ Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often. Don’t start a scene where two people are talking and jumping out of a plane. Start the scene having already jumped. If you are scared, look into your partner’s eyes. You’ll feel better”,. The way she relates the strategies she learned there back to life touches your heart. She closes her speech with a heartfelt message, “When you feel scared, hold someone’s hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same thing. You are all here because you are smart. And you are brave....As you head out into the world, I wish you love and light, joy, and much
Overall, Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a convincing speech on women’s rights at the U.N. World Conference by using the key rhetorical techniques ethos, pathos, logos, and anaphora’s. The use of these techniques helped the audience believe in the cause of which Clinton was speaking about, sympathize for situations females were being put through, and working to strive towards equal rights for everyone. Clinton used the same stance throughout her speech and raised her voice at points in her speech that needed
Her slow yet concise way of speaking, coupled with easy to follow transitions allowed for a speech that was enjoyable to listen to. Her use of examples from her personal life allowed her audience to get a picture of who she was if they did not know, and allowed her to better relate to them by provided examples of how she is related to the college they are graduating from. Her reference to many modern political problems allowed her to bring up her important role as an activist and facilitated further understanding from the audience. While some areas of her speech were weak, such as the longer than needed pauses and her lack of consistent eye contact, to a few points where she didn’t speak clearly enough, the overall picture that was her speech was fairly strong. Looking at this speech, I hope to incorporate some aspects that I failed to include in my previous speeches. Some of these include her use of hand gestures to emphasize and exaggerate certain phrases and topics, and her combined use of appeals. While my initial thoughts going in were “This is boring” and “This is too slow”, it evolved into me wanting to hear more, and overall my defeat in the beginning turned into a victory at the
While communicating with another human being, one only has to examine the other’s face in order to comprehend what is being said on a much deeper level. It is said that up to 55 percent of a message’s meaning can be derived from facial expression (Subramani, 2010). These facial manipulations allow thoughts to be expressed in ways that are often difficult to articulate verbally, with the face demonstrating “the thoughts of the mind, and the feelings of the heart” (Singla). Many expressions are said to universal, particularly those showing happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and...
The speaker first grab her viewer’s attention by giving them questions and having self participation. Also, Amy uses humor to keep the audience focus on what is is talking about. She achieved this by her use of funny pictures and videos to break the ice for the viewers and to warm her crowd up. Cuddy also utilized technology in her speech. Her use of technology enhance her discussion by providing visuals to guide the audience in her topic. Together with the technology, Amy used an emotional personal story to keep the attention of the audience. This emotional story used the pathos side of a persuasive speech to use the audience emotion to keep them focus on the subject.
Males have dominated over the females for so many years, creating the stereotypes that women should stay at home and cook dinner for the children. Throughout the speech, Clinton focuses on the women instead of the men because she believed that it was time for women to take that role, for women to stand up and take their rightful place. Men have always been taken seriously in the political arena but Clinton thought it was time for women to be taken seriously and she still believes this can happen as she continues to say “I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling but someday someone will” (CNN). Clinton refers to the stereotypes that have made it difficult for women to achieve the same goals as men but soon after sets a hopeful and optimistic tone to show her female supporters that even though she was not capable of making the difference, someone will be able to.
Body language and verbal speech have the capacity to elicit both overt and covert power. Control is only effective if you have a responsive audience. There must be a part of the web that is connected to them even if it is just a single strand to have an emotional response. The film The Other Woman, demonstrates the use of both overt and covert power.

...tention to how people react to one another’s comments, guessing the relationship between the people and guessing how each feels about what is being said. This can inform individuals to better understand the use of body language when conversing with other people. It is also important to take into account individual differences. Different cultures use different non-verbal gestures. Frequently, when observing these gestures alone the observer can get the wrong impression, for instance, the listener can subconsciously cross their arms. This does not mean that they are bored or annoyed with the speaker; it can be a gesture that they are comfortable with. Viewing gestures as a whole will prevent these misunderstandings. Non-verbal gestures are not only physical, for example; the tone of voice addressing a child will be different from the way it is addressed to an adult.
