Storytelling Structure for Speeches

Erik Domínguez November 1, 2023 10:46 am

Leaders need to establish their credibility to be heard. 

This week, we are going to be exploring the concept of ethos, or credibility in speaking by going OLD SCHOOL. 

📜 Going Old School with Aristotle
We're taking it way back to the teachings of Aristotle, who said, "Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think [them] credible." This leads us to our first point: Credibility is Trust.

🤝 Trust is Key
Trust is the cornerstone of all communication. Whether in sales, public speaking, or everyday conversations, if people don't trust you, your message falls flat. But what does it mean to be trustworthy? Stick around to find out.

🎓 Expertise vs. Experience
We'll also delve into the difference between expertise and experience, two elements often confused but critically important for establishing credibility. And wait until you hear the common mistake many speakers make that completely undermines their credibility!

🚨 Don't Miss This!
I'll reveal a HUGE credibility blunder that you'll want to avoid at all costs. This mistake could be a game-changer for your public speaking and communication skills.

👉 So, if you're ready to level up your communication game and become a more credible speaker, hit that "Subscribe" button, give this video a thumbs up, and let's get started!

Celebrating Latin Heritage Month

Erik Domínguez October 4, 2023 9:42 am

Building lasting confidence for leaders is not a simple or easy process. 

Do you wonder how some leaders walk into a room and command attention effortlessly? Leadership is not about always having the answers; it's about stepping into the unknown with assurance. 

In this video, we're going to explore three key arguments that set confident leaders apart from the rest. 

🗺️ Leaders Navigate the Unknown:

We often mistake confidence for guarantees. But confidence is not about having a road map; it's about being willing to step into the unknown. Leaders embrace this form of discomfort. However, navigating through uncertainty doesn't come naturally. We'll break down strategies to build resilience and gain confidence, even when the path ahead is unclear.

🔄 Leaders Transform Their Losses:

Losing feels terrible-psychological studies even suggest that the emotional impact of losses is twice as powerful as gains. But confident leaders turn their setbacks into comebacks. Rather than dwelling on failures, they shift their mindset and convert losses into lessons. 

🤗 Leaders and Likeables:

We introduce the tool of "Likeables." With this tool, you'll learn how to transform your mindset through self-affirming statements and mindfulness techniques. It's not just about professional growth; this tool will also significantly impact your personal life. 

If you're an aspiring leader, a manager, or anyone who wants to build lasting confidence, this video is your ultimate guide. Equip yourself with the tools to not only withstand the pressures and uncertainties but also thrive in them.

Confidence Hack For Top Performers #shorts

Erik Domínguez September 11, 2023 1:48 pm

The difference between confidence and arrogance lies in a fine line of INTENTION.

Confidence is a powerful trait that empowers individuals to believe in their abilities and pursue their goals with determination. It involves a genuine sense of self-assurance, allowing us to navigate challenges and embrace growth. Research has shown that confident people often possess a servant mindset, ready to serve others and make a positive impact. 🌟🔍

However, it's crucial to recognize the danger of crossing over into arrogance. 😮🚫 Arrogance arises when individuals prioritize their own desires and ego above all else, neglecting the needs and perspectives of others. Arrogant behavior sabotages meaningful connections and hinders personal and collective growth.

In this video, we showcase the importance of fostering a humble and empathetic approach, where confidence is intertwined with the willingness to serve others. Genuine confidence should empower us to uplift those around us, fostering collaboration and fostering a positive environment. 🌟🤝

The Fine Line Between Confidence and Arrogance

Erik Domínguez August 16, 2023 7:37 am

If you are a speaker, you shouldn't fear audience rejection. 

We all have critics, but what if I told you that you could turn them into your personal coaches? 🎯 Yes, that's right!

1️⃣ Firstly, I explore the concept that feedback, by its nature, is neutral – it's us who attach emotions to it. Sometimes we react to the emotions we think the feedback contains, rather than the feedback itself. Get ready to learn how to detach your emotions from the feedback you receive. 😌 

2️⃣ Secondly, I discuss the fact that effective speakers are constantly in demand for feedback. They realize that feedback, even when it stings, is a necessary step towards improvement. So, buckle up to understand why not all feedback should make you flinch! 💪 

3️⃣ Lastly, I delve into the importance of repetitive feedback. If multiple people say the same thing about your work, even if it's harsh, there might be a grain of truth in it. It's like the universe is screaming, "Pay attention to this!" 🧐 

🧪 Our discussion is backed up by scientific research and studies, which we'll cite throughout the video, so you'll have more than just our word to go on. 📚 

As I share my thoughts, experiences, and findings with you, I invite you to join the conversation. Drop a comment, share your experiences, or give us a thumbs up if you find this video helpful! Remember, it's all about making you a better, more fearless speaker and performer. 🗣️🎙️

Embrace your journey, ignore the naysayers, and let's turn those critics into coaches! 💼🎩🥊

How To Deal With Audience Rejection and Feedback

Erik Domínguez August 10, 2023 10:29 am

The Only Public Speaking Rule That Matters

Erik Domínguez August 3, 2023 9:04 am

Speakers must care about their off-stage presence as much as their on-stage performance. In this video, I address three key elements of a speaker’s off-stage presence. 

First, I debunk a myth: public speaking is not a 'performance.' It goes far beyond your time on stage. Citing the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, I highlight how our off-stage authenticity, how we interact and behave outside the speech, significantly affects our audience's perception of us (Hahl, Kim, & Zuckerman Sivan, 2018). 🕵️‍♀️📚💡

But the journey doesn't stop there. I discuss the concept of ethos, your credibility as a speaker. With insights from the Journal of Communication, I demonstrate how our off-stage persona and actions crucially contribute to our credibility, often more than what we portray on stage (Meyer, Marchionni, & Thorson, 2010). 🎭👀🏅

Finally, let's talk about practice what you preach. Referencing work by Professor Jim McNamara from the University of Technology Sydney, I emphasize the necessity for speakers to embody the messages they deliver, both in their public and private lives. This consistency is key to reinforcing our message and strengthening connections with the audience (McNamara, 2019). 👏📖💯

Ready to truly inspire your audience and make an unforgettable impact? This video is for you! Let's explore the power of our off-stage presence together and start living our messages, on and off the stage! 🚀🔥🌟

Why Speakers Must Care About Their Off-Stage Presence

Erik Domínguez July 26, 2023 8:54 am

TESTIMONIALS

Dylan White

“Working with Erik individually has been a wonderful experience. He still impresses me with his skill, not only as a speaker but as a coach too. I never had a professional coach before Erik, and honestly, I wasn’t sure how much I would benefit. Erik showed me what coaching can be and probably should be. More to the point, he showed me what I’m capable of.”

Dylan White
Des Moines Water Works

MaryBeth Meyer

“Erik’s coaching unleashed the confidence I needed to be able to clearly, concisely, and passionately share my story to a variety of different audiences in a variety of different settings. He’s the best!”

MaryBeth Meyer
Pinky Swear Foundation

Keirstin Heitman

“I was hoping to become a more confident speaker. And working with Erik, I 100% did. But what I didn’t expect from the process was to become a more honest speaker. Prior to working with Erik, I’d spoken in front of hundreds of people and performed in front of thousands, speaking on a stage wasn’t a fear or obstacle for me, but speaking honestly and bringing my whole heart and soul to the stage was. I knew what it felt like to be a successful speaker. Now, thanks to Erik, I know what it feels like to be an honest speaker and how much more impactful that is.”
