Rhyming Your Way to Better Speaking

There’s a poetry to speaking, and you’re no poet. In today’s post, Dean talks about how the practice of rhyming off-stage helps you bring more poetry to your improvisational speaking. The goal isn’t to rhymes in the presentation, but to develop the skill of finding words that combine better to make more elegant articulations as you speak from the heart.

If you’re a leader who wants to bring more charismatic influence and inspiration to your presentations, we can help you here.

there is a poetry to speaking and you are no poet this Vlog is about rhyming your way to better speaking I know that sounds a little absurd but we’re talking about a practice that fits in a cactus this is just the simple idea of listening for rhyming words when you’re in idle time when you’re not around people when you talk to yourself which you should I know that sounds crazy but talking to yourself really helps you build the speaker skills so I look for times to hear the Rhymes I develop the ears for rhyming over years none of this is what I want to bring into my speech it’s the art of hearing the sound Echo so Rhymes are like echoes there’s a word that comes out and another word that kind of Echoes it back as you listen and the more you hear them and verbalize them the more the magical words come to you as a speaker dishes rhyme with fishes and I’m not looking for Rhymes that make sense when I’m rhyming as I drive the car or I do the laundry I’m listening for sounds so what’s happened as I’ve practiced this is I get up in front of an audience and I start speaking and my words just sound better than other people’s words there’s a dance to the words and people frequently ask me to repeat whatever I just said because it’s it becomes quotable and my quotes are worthy of remembering and it’s just because they have a ring to them I don’t want to say that they have a rhyme to them they have a ring to them because I practice rhyming so give that a practice for a month and see if you can find the rhyming in the sounds that you use sounds that you make the words that you choose and you will find more poetry in your language and you will become more quotable
