But you will also note that the research and data is also supported with examples and stories that make the academic knowledge real and personal. This is no doubt one reason why this speech has resonated so deeply with so many people.
For this Reflective Journal post, I want you to observe 3 things.
1) Note how she uses Spoken References, mentioning the names of sources whose work she is citing. 2) Consider how she personalizes the speech, and how she uses common and easy-to-understand illustrations to help the audience relate to the academic content. And 3) make one more observation of your own about the speech making.
My hope is that these observations will give you ideas about your own preparation and design for your Informative Speech presentation.

Amy Cuddy makes use of spoken references in quite a natural way. Instead of making long statements such as “Alexander Todorov, a professor at Princeton University, wrote a paper on…”, she uses short, fluid sentences like “Alex Todorov at Princeton has shown us...”. She keeps her references brief, yet leaves enough information for the audience members to look up whomever she cites, if they are so inclined. By working the references into her speech in this fashion, it helps to place much more emphasis on the facts and information that she is citing.
To me, by adding her personal story to the speech, she helped make the content of her speech much more clear and understandable. I have been in many situations where I have felt like I was way in over my head (i.e. an impostor), so it was relatable and inspirational to hear her story about how she overcame this worry. Furthermore, the visual aids for her presentation were very helpful in giving a better idea of what power poses and—I suppose what you’d call—“low-power poses” look like. They also helped to illustrate situations where body language is important, such as the video clip of Barack Obama shaking hands (and Gordon Brown not shaking hands) with a policeman.
Finally, one other aspect of the speech that I found interesting was the fact that she saved her personal story for the tail end of the speech. By doing so, the story became much more impactful, helped to make the academic material of the speech more clear, and served as a great transition to the conclusion of her speech. If she had introduced her story in the beginning of the speech, it would not have worked as well, I believe.
For your last point, I agree that keeping her story for last made the impact. Because people had the background and information and all these different main points, it made the story stitch up the pieces to then come to the conclusion. I think her topic is also very relatable to many and it could really impact a person who is in the position.

DeleteI totally agree with the point in your second paragraph because what I see is very similar to you. I also think that she personalized her speech well by either gave example from her experience or something that had to do with her. By doing so the audience will have a more clear image in their head.
I totally agree with every of your points and want to add points for visual aids and the use of personal story. For the visual aids: graphs, I think the graphs are simple and easy to understand and she uses them with perfect timing. For the last point, she tells story as connectives, before the point she discover, “ Fake it until you become it”. I don’t think I would have understood them if she did not tell her empirical story.

ReplyDeleteShe used spoken reference to back up facts and used it to show examples. The names of the sources she has mentioned in her speech are, Nalini Ambady, Alex Todorov, Jessica Tracy, Dana Carney, and Marianne LeFrance.
She personalized it by sharing her real experience and how she felt. She had emotions when she was explaining it and it had weight on it. She used Big images that filled the whole screen, which is common to not allow audiences to get distracted by words as well as using graph to show the statistic which was easy t follow with the eye.
She has done a good job on connecting with what she has started, which really made the whole speech come together. When asking a simple question, and having it unanswered till the last minute have the listeners wanting more and its like a cliff hanger, but she does explain it at the end and with all the information prior, it makes a simple question to be important and a one to remember. Even after her speech, it makes me remember that 2 min of small changes could become a ‘Big Change’ in the long run.

DeleteI agree that she has done a good job in connecting her speech because if her speech didn't connect together, the audience might get confused and loses focus. I also remember the same thing as you did that small changes could become a Big Change. This phrase gives me a huge impact as it makes me think and motivate me to try making small changes too.

DeleteI agree with you that she have mention many people and research as her reference. Moreover, she also tell audience who are those people such as, where they work, what is their education level, and their field of interest. This really make her evidence credible and allow listener to know who she got her evidence from.

ReplyDelete1. In Prof.Cuddy speech, she used spoken citations in a simple way which was similar to some of the written references; for instance, “for example, Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University, shows that…” and “even more dramatic, Alex Todorov at Princeton has shown…” to give the credits to the sources.
2. During the Prof.Cuddy speech, she personalised her talk by sharing her experience about the car accident and her student in Harvard university. Furthermore, when she talked about nonverbal expressions, she showed pictures of animals and people's postures in order to illustrate powerful and low power attitudes that living naturally did.
3. From my observation, she deliberately explained her main points by providing numerous examples every time when formal terms or theories in her studied field came up. Most of them were easy to relate and understand, some of them were jokes as well. This process caused the listeners to know and clearly acknowledge her ideas and the reason why her points were significant.

I agree, the way she used spoken citations was quite similar to how written references are used, but I find them to be a bit less academic that ones in writing (at least to me). And yes, she did a very good job of using easy to understand examples to help illustrate her points.
ID:6380205 Sec 4
ReplyDeleteWhen Amy Cuddy gives an example, she used spoken references to back up the points. She stated the name of a person followed by who they are or where they are from. For example, "Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University...", "Alex Todorov at Princeton...", and "My main collaborator Dana Carney, who's at Berkeley..." A brief information of a person is enough for the audience to understand who they are and I think it is an effective way to do it.
She personalizes the speech by first talking about nonverbal behaviour and showing the pictures of how people tend to make themselves small or big. The pictures that she showed are highly related to everyone because we all experienced posing or acting in the same way as the picture before, whether it is a high power pose or low power pose. The pose that people tend to make can actually affect how they think or feel about themselves and eventually, it can change their life. She also talks about her personal experience of once being an imposter and how she overcame it. Her story helps me to understand more about the content and be able to get the lesson from her that we should fake it until we become it. Moreover, along with her speech, she used video clips and graphs to help illustrate her point which is easy to understand.
From my observation, I found that the structure that she used in her speech is very powerful. She started her introduction with facts from different researchers which built up the reliability to the audience. Then she continues talking about how high/low power poses can affect people by using pictures to illustrate. This makes the audience think back about themselves and find that the topic is related to them and want to continue listening. The last part of her speech ends with her personal experience, which I think it is a strong ending because her experience gives a lesson to the listener on how little tweaks can create Big Changes. She also motivates people to try a power pose and share the science to see how it changes their life.
6380479 SEC4
DeleteI agree with you that she had great structure. It was organized and easy to digest for us as listeners though it was an academic speech. And to your last sentence I believe the audiences got the message and felt motivated to try the pose because it was an effective speech. If it was not backed up well and had been less personal, even if there was proof that it could affect one for the better, we might not feel as motivated and curious to try it out!
Student ID: 6380680 Section: 4
DeleteI agreed that her speech structure was truly attractive to the audience. Your opinion that she could make her listeners look back at themselves and continue on listening was right to the point as I also did the same way when she talked about the postures. This illustrated how smoothly she related her topic with the audience by using general ideas in our daily life which connected to people around the world.

ReplyDelete1) Her speech was very believable and very useful when she uses those references. She spoke out very naturally in the point of sources. And she uses less explaining and delving into the reference. It made her speech sound fluid and unsophisticated. The references that she has mentioned in the speech are Nalini Ambady, Alex Todorov, Jessica Tracy, Dana Carney, and Marianne LeFrance.
2) After hearing Amy Cuddy's presentation, I felt that it was very helpful to the audience. It was a very valuable and enjoyable speech. She has inserted her own experiences while explaining the points. It makes the speech more interesting and increases credibility since it has happened to her before. She uses the visual aid in the presentation which is very useful in explaining various issues to clear more. It is very good for the audience.
3) At the end of the talk, she concludes with her own story, which is great, because it can make the story more clear and adds more credibility.

ReplyDeleteShe has a perfect profile like she is a social psychologist, studying prejudice, and teach competitive business school. She has reliable sources such as BBC, Alex Todorov at Princetonand Jessica Tracy etc. that supported her information about nonverbal expressions of power and dominance.
She personalizes her speech by given audiences real example of the situation in classroom that women tend to make theirselves less powerful than men.
"Fake it till we make it" related to powerful and powerless people. More importantly, she always provides examples with reliable sources so this make her well credited.
ID: 6380113 Section: 4
DeleteApart form what you mentioned, I think she made a good choice in choosing examples. The examples she gave also made the audience related to her topic since she usually gave familiar situations as examples, which most of the audience might face with it before. Overall, it increases her credibility of the speech and as a speaker herself.

ReplyDeleteIn the speech, there are so many times that Amy Cuddy used spoken references to give an example of the points she’s going to present. She started by telling us the names, then a little bit of their professions or backgrounds. There are 5 people she mentioned which are Nalini Ambady, Alex Todorov, Jessica Tracy, Dana Carney, and Marianne LeFrance.
In her show, Amy personalized her speech by telling her own experiences along with the pictures. Also, pictures of animals in different poses in different moods are connected with the audiences since they are easy to understand. And to make it even more interesting, she expresses emotions and thought through both verbal and nonverbal communication.
I had observed that another interesting point in this speech is that Amy kept telling her story throughout her speech. This is a very strong point because since it is an academic speech, and most people might not find it interesting, sharing her personal story will definitely catch the attention of the audiences from the beginning until the end.
ID:6380205 Sec 4
DeleteI agree with your point that people might not be interested in academic speech. Some people found it boring to listen to, but she used her personal experience and pictures to help relate the topic to the audience. Therefore, this might be one of the reason for the audience to continue listening. Moreover, I believe that her speech will help the audience gain new knowledge that can be used to improve their life.

When Cuddy used Spoken References, she mentioned the person responsible for the research as well as their affiliation (The affiliation stated are well-known universities to the public.) She does this in order to gain the trust of her audience and show that she has done her research on what she is sharing with them. This makes her and her speech more reliable and credible.
Cuddy personalized the speech through her visual aids and her story. When she showed her visual aids of nonverbal behavior, they were mostly pictures of posture that we are familiar with. So when we see a familiar posture, we relate to that. Cuddy then continues to speak of her struggles with faking and feeling like an imposter because of it. However, she was able to overcome it and I think that this gives hope to other people who may want to follow her example. She also mentioned that a student of hers did follow her advice and “faked it ’til she became it”.
I found Cuddy’s speech to be really interesting that 20 minutes was over in the blink of an eye. Her structure was well-organized and really easy to follow along. She began with facts and statistics to support her claims, which demonstrated reliability. Next, she showed illustrations of high-and low-power poses to let her audience reflect on themselves and see what type of poses they practice regularly. This helps her audience to relate to her and the speech. Furthermore, it keeps them engaged and focused on her. Lastly, she shared her personal experience in which it reveals the struggles she faced. And these struggles are no stranger to all of us. We all have times when we feel out of place and that we don’t belong where we are. This here enables us to connect with her further. A little tweak here and there could lead to a major change in life. Practicing high-power poses can change our life.

Good points, I agree! She can't just expect the audience to rely on everything she is saying, even with her credentials, so she uses her references to show others that she has done her research, making her more credible. The talk passed by quite quickly for me as well!
Section 7, ID: 6380583
ReplyDeleteFirst of all for the spoken references, There are four spoken references that I could catch from ammy’s cuddy speech:
She said
- Nanli Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University has shown us that….
- Alex Todorov at Princeton has shown that...
- Jessica Tracy has studied. She shows that...
-It’s what Marianne LaFrance calls...
I think she did not state the sources in a formal way, which make it sounds very natural
Furthermore, she personalizes the speech by telling her empirical story from the day when she felt like she was not supposed to be in that University to the day she sees a person who has the same feeling as her and realizes that that person can fake it until she becomes it like her today. She does not tell the whole story at one time but continually slides it before the point she’s going to make, which makes me deeply understand and really get the point she’s making.
Lastly, these are what I have observed from listening to her speech
- Her Introduction about humans’ daily interaction or a handshake or the lack of a handshake by a politician that got people talking in weeks is a great start in my opinion because it got me wonder what she’s going to say next. Besides, it makes audiences laugh, which I think help attract people to want to listen what’s she going to say next as well.
- The use of gapping words like “um” or “uhh” from Time to time
- The use of transition as connectives, for instance, she said “so” quite a lot to connect points
- She prepared great visual aids and can use them with perfect timing.
- From time to time, she almost speaks or speaks wrong words but she repeat those words to correct them, for instance, this complex hormones named Cortisol.
Overall, these make her speech seem very spontaneous.
After reading your additional observations from the talk, I agreed to all of your points! On the other hand, there are some points that I did not notice at all until I read your comment. Her speech did give me the sense of spontaneity as well. I also agreed on the point that she grabbed our attention from bringing up interesting examples like the Obama's handshake.

DeleteI totally agree with you. The way she stated the sources informally make her speech easier to understand. Also, by doing that, it did not shift the audience’s focus to the sources that much, which allowed them to focus more on the content and main message or idea. Most importantly, it increases her credibility as a speaker. For the story that she told, I think it has quite an impact on her speech and the audience because it shows the audience how important confidence is.
ID: 6380605 Section: 12
ReplyDeleteIn Amy Cuddy’s speech, she used a lot of spoken references that can make her speech more reliable. Moreover, when she referred the information to other professionals, she did not mention only their names, but she also told the audience who they are. For example, when she referred her example to Nalini Ambady, she also told the audience that she is a researcher at Tufts University. This makes her speech more credible.
She personalized her speech by telling her experience and how she felt. Moreover, she used graphs and diagrams while she was explaining the academic things, like the hormones, and this did very well in helping the audience to understand easier.
In my opinion, she did very well in catching the audience’s attention. She kept showing pictures when she was talking, and this made the audience not get bored until the end of the speech. I like when she showed the pictures of high-power poses and the low-power poses because these pictures helped the audience to be clear on how these poses look like.

She personally talk about her experiences what she had faced also some of the pictures for audiences to be easier understand. She start her speech by talking about the past and she continue it until the present.
From my observation, I found that she used her emotion to tell how she felt in that time when she tell her story experiences about her car accident, withdraw from the college and decreasing in IQ. In the end, she push up the question about 2 minutes for audiences to remember about it.
She obviously mentions many names and all those names are researchers and reliable sources of information. Despite from her own experience, she also uses animals portray to illustrate her point.
DeleteID: 6380577 sec:07
ReplyDeleteAmy Cuddy used the spoken references many times during her speech. She spoke her points and then provided evidence by using reliable sources from people in the area to make her points stronger, for example, Nalini Ambady who is a researcher at Tufts University, Alex Todorov at Princeton, and the study of Jessica Tracy. Moreover, she stated the only main points of each reference which made it precisely and not prolonged.
From my point of view, she personalized her speech by sharing her own experience that she had been through. She showed visual aids for the audience, so the audience would understand what she was speaking about, and the audience could picture the powerful and low-power poses of animals and humans. There was some part that she spoke emotionally which could make the audience paying more attention, and she portrayed her body language along with her speech.
The way she organized her story was really amazing because she provided her points and backed them up with reliable sources, and also sharing not only her own experience but also her student make this speech not boring as it was an academic speech. She did have a pause for her speech as well. Furthermore, the idea of fake it until becomes it could inspire people who suffer from public speaking.

63803036 Sec 12
ReplyDeleteAfter listening through Amy Cuddy Speech, it can be seen that she used spoken references by using someone name and then follow by who are they or where did they work. This method makes her speech not too long and easy for the audience to catch up with the information that the speaker mentioned. She said Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University. She kept saying a short statement which is still understandable.
Although her speech is kind of academic content, she uses the visual aid which helps the audience get into it way easier than by just saying. Furthermore, using visual aids that interesting make the audience want to know what is going in the future. Amy Cuddy also put her emotions into her speech and what she has mentioned is relate to people who are working as well and most of the audience in that room are more likely to be at adult age.
From my perspective, I would say that her speech is powerful and literally give me energy. However, in the middle of her speech, I think I got distracted by something more interesting. Overall, she did really on her speech and she did a good in structuring her speech as well. At the end of her speech, I found that her experiences can make people who got distracted by something back to her speech. She also left a quote at the end which is very impressive.

From what I see, she personalized the speech by sharing the experience in her life. One of her experience that she mentioned is that she once think that she was not belong in the university she was in and now she saw somepeople struggle with the same problem as she was. She put the emotion in to the speech to make the audiences feel like her feel.

ReplyDeletePersonalize - She had some interactions with the audience and gave some familiar situations as examples. For example, the video of the "handshake and lack of handshake" at the beginning of the speech, which is a situation that was already happened and well-known to the audience. She also mentioned other normal situations that the audience may be used to be in or at least know about it. Another point to mention is that she often used the word “we”, and I think it makes the audience went along with her and her speech. Apart from that, she also talked about her experience which related to her topic and made the audience related as well.
Spoken references - I think it seems like she’s trying to avoid starting the sentence with the researcher’s name and trying to connect with the previous sentence instead. As the result, her speech sounds academic, but not boring. Most importantly, she provided references to support and strengthen her point.
What I noticed was when she’s talking about something academically or scientifically, she used simple words and simple explanations for a better understanding of the audience. Also, although she sometimes mentioned some academic or science-related words such as hormones (testosterone, cortisol, etc.), she still could make the audience understand those words from her simple explanation. In short, she cares about the audience by considering things that the audience doesn’t know or needs to know. Moreover, she sounds confident and knowledgeable.
I agree. The speech that she is giving is quite scientific. But she used simple analogies and examples for the audiences from different backgrounds and ages. With the addition of simple explanations as you mentioned, it just made her connect to more targeted range of audiences.

DeleteI agreed that she cared about her audience as she didn’t try to provide only sciencetific terms but also explain each of them with simple words and numerous examples. This allowed the audience to access into the academic ideas without restriction and be able to understand how to adapt those knowledge in daily life. Her speech was truly free information.
ID 6380318 Sec07
ReplyDeleteIn Cuddy’s speech, she has mentioned many references to make her speech more credible, for example, Alex Todorov from Princeton, Nalini Ambady, Jessica Tracy, Marianne LeFrance and Dana Carney. Mostly, she will cite the sources when she going to talk about some things specific information that needs some backup to support her methods which I think it really works.
According to all information that she said, her impact voice and the non-verbal language that she express making us feel the power that we have in ourselves. So I think she personalized by finding some common things that she had with the audiences, like how people react when they have power or how they represent themselves when they feel less confident. She also shares her own experience that she has passed through in her life. Furthermore, she has used some visual aids to make us pay more attention to the contents, giving some hilarious moment that related to the topic which can make the audience get more participation and easy to understand (as they can see the real situation).
In my point of view, Cuddy’s speech has done a great job on the way that she tells the story. She always provides examples for the audiences to understand the situation that she was speaking about. In the first part of the speech, she tries to give us some details about the non-verbal language then she provides us with more information about it. Lastly, she has talked about her own experience that she was the one who felt unconfident before and she can get over it which made a good ending point.

ReplyDeleteThe speaker say the name of source the information come from as references. The source she use the most come from many people. For example, Alex Todorov, Nalini Ambady, Jessica Tracy, Marianne LeFrance and Dana Carny. The reason are; she have to give them a credit since the information she present is not her whole idea; and she have to make her speech to have more credibility.
The speaker also give many example that people can understand what she say and easily see how it relate to them. For example, she shows the video about handshake to visualize that body language can convey some message. The picture of monkeys using their body to express their feeling. With these examples, people will easily understand that what she say can be seen in every day life.
Personally, I always admire people who can make people understand academic material easily. The speaker have done a very good job to bring this point out. She can make something so boring in the lecture room to be a very interesting and easy to understand. Moreover, people will not misunderstand the meaning of message she try to convey.

I agree with you that her references make her speech more credible. The way she tried to connect her story with the audience was very smooth and well-organized. I admired those who can make people easily understand complex ideas as well.

ReplyDeleteSpoken References- During her speech, whenever she tired to source references, she would mention the name of the academics first and followed up that with the main point she reflected from the people she references. It made audiences aware of where she got the information from and made her speech sounds more accredited as the speech go on. The technique made her speech more interesting and easier for the audience to catch up as it feels like a new section and new idea from different people.
Personalizes the speech- She personalized the speech by living the audience of her own real life example. When she explained the academic content, she would followed up with her experiences of how she has realized about the topics. This method helps her to connect more to the audiences than just giving out the lecture of how to become more confident. The audiences got to know what she has gone through in order to get where she is and giving speech to audiences, which resulted in making her more credible as well.
My observation - She has done a tremendous job of mixing the academic contents with real life example from her own experience and made the various of audiences from different background or knowledge feel connected. Which is why this speech is so famous. The other thing that she always does is asking a rhetorical question on the speech. She wants the audiences to think back about the concept and relates those concepts to themselves which is another great way to connect with various audiences.
On the last point of yours, I strongly agreed that she did it so well, no doubt her speech becomes famous. I also agreed that her communication skill helps the audience including us relate to her story. Moreover, her rhetorical questions did make me engage with the talk more without realising it.

ReplyDeleteThe speaker mention references simple and naturally such as "Nalimi Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University......" or "Jassica Tracy has studied .......... It make listener to understand easily and notice it there a source of information, therefore, her speech is reliable.
She did an excellent job in personalizing the speech. She illustrate what she inform by using simple examples not in academic way. She gave example of animal and human nonverbal pose, and then started to analyze to audience, so they are able to understand precisely. Moreover, the speaker tell her story, which related to the topic, when she was in college like telling a story, make it simple and interesting.
IN my perspective, Cuddy did a great job in terms of using gesture to demonstrate the pose. Instead of only talking, she also moving into gestures of what she meant, so people are conveyed clearly. They don't have to imagine on their own. As a result, it ensuring that audience have understanding on the same page.
6380087 section12
DeleteI strongly agree about her gesture. Her gesture and expression really embrace the speech. She use her body language well.

ReplyDeleteShe first started off by getting the audience engaged by asking them a question and make some jokes out of it. In addition, she showed video so that could grab the attention of audience. Most of the time in her speech she use the word we and us to indicate that what she says also refer to her as well. Moreover, she kept referring to herself as this as that to give an example to the audience. She backed up her point with some of the universal knowledge like the winning post and the miserable post. She stood up with a single point, but she kept providing example and back up so that people will get persuade more. What stood out the most to me was she had many technique to keep the audience attention like separate the main point into multiple sub one, keep asking question, and have pictures or video up behind her. Moreover, all of her supporting example were relevant to everyone because she used common examples.

ReplyDelete1. Many times that spoken references can become too much and overwhelming in a speech but it did not happen in hers. It is very important to give credits and references in an informative or academic speech so it can be challenging for her since she needed to bring up many studies and research. However, I can clearly acknowledge those people without any sense of annoyance or redundancy.
2. For me, scientific talks can be too complicated to comprehend especially, when it contains numerous scientific vocabulary. In her speech, there were also many scientific terms but she was able to explain it so well. I can follow her step by step easily without facing any distractions. The visual aid did actually aid the talk as well. I was not only able to understand better but also able to try the “powerful” and “powerless” poses.
3. After almost 20 minutes of her scientific, complicated talk, it might sound impossible to believe. However, she ended her speech with her own experience emotionally and beautifully. Before she mentioned her own story, I hardly bought her talk. Now, I am fully convinced and have the urge to try that out in my future situations.

ReplyDeleteAmy Cuddy cited information from other sources. For example, Naliny Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University showed that …, and It is that what Marianne LaFrance calls … . She cites in quite an ordinary way. From my perspective, normally the audience will get bored when the speaker mentions information from other sources, but for this speech, information from the citation that she uses is short, compact, and interesting. She uses well known people in her reference video and picture, and listeners seem to pay attention to it. There are many people laughing. This means that they are listening to the speaker, so this can also give confidence to the speaker. She uses a simple example that listeners are not aware of to explain the non-verbal. Organization of the information is systematic. In the speech, at first, she caught the audience's attention by asking the question that relates to the audience sitting position. Gesture is using in this talk very well

It could gain more attention from their audiences to be more participated and become interested in the speech. I also agreed that it could give confident to the perfumer, as well.
ID#6380600 Section#7
ReplyDeleteAfter she stated her point, she reinforced her idea by citing the work right away, and used many sources to reinforce one idea. By basically stating the researchers name and where those expertees from to show reliability of the sources.
I would say that she built up the idea from the very beginning throughout the speech by putting more ideas in step by step and connecting them like legos. She connected the ideas one by one to create the understanding slowly. Moreover, she brought up the ideas that we could relate or have seen in life to create a bond with the audience and then connect to the scientific concepts.
I like how she related to her story about her struggle in college as the effects of a car accident. I think it really encourages the audience to imagine and understand the concepts of “fake it until you become it” easier by following the experiences that she has faced, how she changed and when she taught the other college students.

2. The example that she chose to use in the speech are able to illustrate clearly on what she said. She use a lot of picture. It clearly support her idea.

ReplyDeleteFrom Cuddy’s speech, the speaker provided many reliable references to support the points in a smooth way. The way she mentioned it was very similar to the written version of citation. For example, Nalini Abady, a researcher at Tufts University…, Alex Todorov at Princeton has shown…, Jessica Tracy has studied… to give credits for what she said after that.
Moreover, in terms of personalising, she personalised her speech by using uncomplicated language to make her speech touchable and understandable. Also, she mentioned her own experience about the car accident, her degree, her collaborator, and her student. In the terms that she talked about she did not only show the postures on her presentation slide, but she also did it on her own to clarify further the the audience what she is trying to say.
Lastly, the speaker can start and end the speech very smoothly. The way she spoke was professional and confident, and she can express the emotion through her speaking to the audience perfectly.

This makes her pieces of evidence more reliable and credible.
She makes the speech become more personalize by telling her experience and her feeling. She links the topic with her own story, and it is related.

ReplyDelete1) They way that Amy Cuddy cites her references in the speech was very fluid and delivered very well. It was straight to the point and enough for people to understahnd and absorb the basic background of the person she cites. Just by delivering the information of who and from where is enough for audiences to get the idea that the information is being relayed from what she has researched. Her spoken references doesn't slow her down during the speech, it naturally clearly flows along the tempo of her speech.
2) Considering that this is in her field of expertise, she also includes real life experiences and her professional observation of the nature of body language. She is able to display a variety of viasual aid that audiences can understand and grasp the concept of what she is saying because body langauge is universal and it allows her to use various of simple visual aids to make a point. What she also displyas are common scenarios that people may or may not have experienced it as well. This way she is able to get through her audience and obtain their attention because her direct sense of making a point is simple and effective.
3) Her body language exhibits a good sense of energy that audiences can pick up since the very beginning. During her speech she also uses her body to convey examples of what she is saying to also support her visual aid. Everything about her as she is talking in her speech is experessing her information. She paces her self well across the stage to reach different parts of the room to let everyone be included to what she is saying. She is versy consistent with her speech tempo, to the point that is is comfortable enough to absorb what she is saying. Overall I truly understand why she is the second most watched speaker.

ReplyDelete1. Professor Amy Cuddy used spoken references to support facts and to demonstrate examples. Nalini Ambady, Alex Todorov, Jessica Tracy, Dana Carney, and Marianne LeFrance are the names of the sources she mentioned in her speech.
2. Professor Amy Cuddy personalized her address by describing her personal experience with a vehicle accident and her time as a Harvard University student. Furthermore, when she discussed nonverbal expressions, she used photographs of animals and people's postures to demonstrate the powerful and low power attitudes that came from living naturally.
3. Another component of the speech that I found intriguing was the fact that Professor Amy Cuddy preserved her personal story until the very end. The anecdote became much more impactful as a result of this, and it also helped to clarify the academic substance of the speech. It also served as a fantastic shift to the end of her address. I believe it would not have worked as well if she had told her backstory at the start of the speech.

She referred to each source in the discussion by title. If that specific source is a person, she also gives a brief description of their identity. For instance, " Alexander Todorov, a professor at Princeton University, wrote a paper on… ", this cited is a testament to the sources' unwavering accuracy. She also cited the BBC and the New York Times as examples of common sources.
All she said can be delineated by the paradigm she chose to use in the debate. It unmistakably backs up her beliefs. During her speech, she shows visual guides in the same way that she employs nonverbal communication. She chooses a model and an image which she believes the audience will be able to identify with or recognize. As a result, the speaker and the audience form a link. She also uses her own personal experience as an example, which has a powerful impact on audiences.

For example she uses the reference of "a researcher at Tufts University". This is very clear and straight to the point. Her references doesn't slow her speech down neither makes it boring, instead the speech flows in a naturally nice pace.

She uses variety of content such as funny videos, serious story, an emotional touch which overall lightens up her whole speech and makes it look better.
3. What I liked about her speech was that she saved her personal story for the tail end.

Amy Cuddy herself can be a reference to this speech since she works as a social psychologist. She also mentions Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University, and Alex Todorov to support her ideas and make her points stronger.
Amy Cuddy used visual aids like pictures of animals or experiments from human postures for the audience to imagine and can easily catch up to her points. She presents the idea that powerful people mostly have open postures and low power would close their bodies and make themselves look small. She starts to make people believe that our bodies change our minds and our minds change our behavior and behaviors change outcomes. Amy Cuddy also shared her own experience as one of the examples to support her points. She fakes her identity until she becomes very powerful.
I would say that Amy Cuddy did a very amazing job in this speech. She can relate her story and examples to the audience with reliable sources. Her speech is well-organized and easy to understand, which makes the audience, including me, can easily catch up with her. It’s quite inspiring and impressive at the same time.

2. I prefer that she utilise the picture in this speech because this can know what Amy Cudder want to convey to audience, especially pictures in part of the compare between Animal kingdoms and human and the experiment that test people powerful. In addition, the pictures is very clear example, so I can see that if people feel powerful, the gesture that they will convey like the picture of women who sit and put her feet on the table, so this make me can receive that they feel powerful. Nevertheless , some people try to be powerful, but I think that if some one who did not feel it, it can convey via their post in the picture in this speech. Thus, I think that she is quite good to use the picture to be an example to make people more understand during Amy Cudder is explaining.
3. In my opinion, she is a good speaker. She can talk clearly and have good explanation with the references and pictures. I think she talk too fast. Sometimes I did not listen to it, but It is a small part. Plus, she can convey the emotion during talk, with funny and a little bit sad in sometimes.

ReplyDeleteIn her speech, Amy incorporates spoken references such as ‘Nalini Ambady, a research at Tufts University, shows that_’ , ‘Alex Todorov at Princeton has shown us that_’ , ‘Jessica Tracy has studied. She shows that_’ . Typically, when speakers name the sources during a speech, it usually will be long and quite distracting. However, I would say that mentioning the names of sources whose work she is citing in this precise way has allowed these parts of the speech to have a smoother transition.
Amy personalises the speech since the beginning of her presentation. She starts off by asking for the audience interaction to change their posture for a few minutes, which in turn lets them know that the speech she is providing will concern them in a social aspect. Moreover, she uses several somewhat well-known pictures of celebrities to emphasise her ideas and make them more relatable such as Oprah’s and some politicians. She also includes first-hand pictures of participants on the particular research project of which they appear as demographically similar as the audience. Near the end of Amy’s speech, she further tells a personal story of herself being in a traumatic car accident, and her struggles with it, and how she overcame it with the mentality of “faking it until you become it”.
As a personal observation about her speech making, I would say that the mentioning of her expertise on the speech topic has allowed the audience to view her as a credible speaker. Moreover, even though the entire speech is quite long (20 minutes), when compared to others that are around 10-15 minutes, her confidence (posture and pace wise) has remained intact continuously, which keeps the audience interested and inspired.
ID#6380225 Section#07
ReplyDeleteWhen she was about to cite the resources she mentioned the credibility of the researchers to make her speech more reliable and she used transitions to let the audience know that she was about to introduce the new ideas. For example, she mentioned Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University and Alex Todorov at Princeton or even Dana Carney, who's at Berkeley.
She personalizes her speech by giving an example of the real life situations and personal experiences of her own that make it more appealing to the audience. She explained things that were in professional terms into an understanding statement that was clear and much more related to the listeners.
She is a very good speaker because she can carried the whole speech for the entire 20 minutes straight. Her visual aids are simple and plain but very interesting because it is connected with what she was explaining. The picture in her presentation related to the topics. Her ending is fascinating and leaves a big impact on me which is “fake it until you make it and eventually become it”.

ReplyDelete1. Amy Cuddy used many references and cited from sources such as Nalini Ambady, Jessica Tracy, Alex Todorov, etc. By giving actual names and explain what kind of sources and information they are and how it relate to her research and her speech, these give her speech more credibility and reliability. Other than her usage of references, she also speak in a very precise manner and her choices of words allow her speech to be smooth and easy to understand. Therefore, I think that her manner of speech also helped her to transition from each references and example and making them smooth.
2. She gave her background in the social psychologist and her background in business school and constantly relate little more information about her here and there. Her usage of easy-to-understand picture helped audiences to digest her information easier as her speech maybe very academic, but with her manner of speech, amusing examples and funny relatable illustrations.
3. I think she was very well prepared and a very good speaker due to many reasons. She was able to delivered what she wanted, her speech was clear and precise, she doesn't stutter often, she doesn't hesitate to speak, she can control her emotion for each different part of speech, and many more. The most important observation that I made from her speech probably was the fact that she turned her long speech to a very intriguing one and the fact that she was able to catered her speech towards diverse audiences that she had that night.

ReplyDeleteAmmy Cuddy used various references and provided examples that were very reliable and made the audiences understand. She mentioned all of the references she used, such as Nalini Ambady, Alex Todorov, Jessica Tracy, Dana Carney, and Marianne LaFrance.
In her speech, she personalized the speech by including some of her experiences, making the audience get through it with the idea. Also, she used the picture to demonstrate more about each point. Also, she included graphs to illustrate more about the research. She can perfectly connect with audiences because of her exciting moments that get attention from audiences. To illustrate this point, in the last part of the video, she was telling about her experience with a girl who felt the same as her that she was not supposed to be here. Then, she advised that girl that she can fake it and become it. At that moment, every audience was really enjoying it and gave her a big applause.
From my observations, she did very well on her speech by telling her story through the speech, which made the speech not boring. She had a good introduction by interacting with the audience, who changed their pose while Ammy talked. Also, her idea is quite effective to use in public speaking. Lastly, her visual aids were straightforward and easy to understand. She inserted a lot of images so that audiences could clearly know what she was conveying.

Moreover, this way of citing makes the audience know that she is credible without focusing on how or where she get the information from.
2.Also, the visual aids she used make become so much easier to understand because the audience don't have to picture the information by themselves and the model she represented is very simple and relate to everyday life.

In addition, she also add her own personal experience to show that this speech can be relatable to them and make a great impact on the audience.
3. She gave a example in every sentence she makes which makes the audience understand and able to visualize the information in every point of the speech. Moreover, the sequence of the speech was organized very well so that the audience can follow along her speech without sorting them while listening.
