\nTopic: Public speaking and eloquence techniques: The essentials<\/p>\n
Background and Context
\nPublic speaking is a presentation that\u2019s given live before an audience. The aim may be to educate, entertain or influence the audience. Visual aids, such as an electronic slide show, are often used to supplement the speech. This makes it more interesting for the audience. Contemporary Leaders records significant examples of public statements by opinion leaders and statesmen who have gone down in history as having achieved significant political change. Salient examples include \u201cI have a dream\u201d by Martin Luther King Jr, \u201cYes we can\u201d by Barack Obama, \u201cI am prepared to die\u201d by Nelson Mandela, among others. As such, conducting good quality research is therefore not enough to influence policy or bring about change. How think tanks in Central Africa use the potential of public discourse to advocate, make their voices heard, shape policy and inform decision-making when disseminating research can make a big difference. The success or failure of these communication ventures depends largely on the ability of researchers to use public space to persuade target audiences to follow proposed policy recommendations or adopt particular social behaviors. With this in mind, the Nkafu Policy Institute is organizing a capacity building workshop to strengthen the public speaking skills of think tanks in Central Africa and improve their ability to communicate key messages in public spaces or during their media appearances, while effectively managing the dynamics of public speaking.
