- 1. “Key insights:Nancy Duarte presenting in LinkedIN Speaker Series” “ Key insights: Nancy Duarte presenting in the LinkedIN speaker series ” By: Kartik Singla Indian Institute of Technology(BHU), Varanasi
- 3. An American non-fiction writer A storyteller CEO of the firm “Duarte Design”.....A firm which helps to convey stories in the most interesting way!!!!
- 6. Finding out what is in the minds of the audience and hitting them at that frequency!!!
- 10. Every successful communicator OR storyteller follows a definite pattern during his/her address to the audience….. It resembles a square wave with steps pointing at two aspects: What is? and What could be?
- 11. What is? Refers to The present reality...the present world around us!!
- 12. What could be? Refers to what the future is like… a whole new world of possibilities!!!!
- 13. The communicator shows a contrast between “what is” and “what could be” which making the future more alluring!!!!
- 14. Analysis of the talks by eminent/famous personalities by using the above pattern as an analysing tool:
- 15. Steve Jobs ❖ 2007 iphone launch talk ❖ The speech was 90 minute long. ❖ Almost every 20 seconds had the audience laugh or clap.
- 16. The pattern depicts that Steve Jobs had a heightened sense of “What could be”!
- 17. Martin Luther King Jr. ❖ Speech was named originally as “The urgency of Now” but later changed to “I have a dream”...... ❖ A 16 minute talk.
- 18. The pattern depicts the tight frequency between “what is” and “what could be” because Martin Luther used the phrase ‘I have a dream’ repeatedly.
- 19. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ❖ The speech was given in 1947 on the eve of Indian Independence. ❖ The speech is called the Indian version of “I have a dream” and named as “Tryst with Destiny”.
- 20. The pattern is perfectly shaped because Nehru constantly compared India’s sufferings(what is) with India’s triumphant future(what can be).
- 21. Richard Feynman ❖ A great explainer, always had a ‘star moment’ in his talk which lasted really long. ❖ Gave his speech on Nanotechnology, which became an 8 day media sensation.
- 22. The pattern was observed with super tight frequency because richard’s talk was really technical and strongly communicative.
- 23. Margaret Thatcher ❖ Gave the famous ‘Iron Lady’ speech. ❖ Verbally really strong and was really authoritative while delivering the talk.
- 24. The pattern shows sudden oscillations in “what is” and “what could be” as Margaret Thatcher was a master of contrast.
- 25. Jesus Christ ❖ Delivered his famous speech “Sermon on the Mount”. ❖ Longest continuous piece of oration ever found.
- 26. The pattern is the tightest one analysed because of the rapid switches made by Jesus with respect to a person’s present deeds and their consequences in future.
- 27. Sun Yat-sen ❖ A revolutionary, helped overthrow the ching dynasty. ❖ Gave the famous ‘Pan- asianism’ speech.
- 28. The pattern shows most of the time is spent in “what is” process as eastern culture believes in bringing the past forward as context rather than thinking about the past.
- 29. Eva Perón ❖ Addressed a crowd of 2 million people in argentina in 1946, as a 10 minute campaign talk for her husband’s presidential election. ❖ Extremely caring for poor and the needful.
- 30. The pattern displays the contrast used by Eva between the elites and the shirtless.
- 31. “Distance yourself from ‘what is’ and Imagine the future…...Believe in your vision!!”
- 32. Summary Nancy Duarte: CEO of ‘Duarte Design’ and above that an excellent communicator. The key concepts highlighted by Nancy in her talk were: Concept of Resonance, Concept of Idea and the Pattern followed by Storytellers. Every exceptional communicator in his/her speech mesmerized the audience by highlighting the contrast of ‘what is’ and ‘what could be’. The analysis of some famous talks by eminent personalities showed a unique pattern in every talk but with a similarity of portraying their ideas to shape a better future.
