良好的演讲能力是成为优秀管理者的助推器

这几天，Facebook的COO Sheryl Sandberg在UC Berkeley 2016年毕业典礼上的致辞演讲正在在微信公众圈里传播。

她是我个人很喜欢的女性管理者之一。

俗话说的好，各花入各眼，从读她的《Lean in》开始，到刚读完的UC Berkeley 2016毕业典礼致辞，她圆融有序的遣词造句，声情并茂的表达方式和坚韧不拔的工作精神都让我觉得值得学习。

赞美之词聊表过后，今天主要就她的演讲致辞说几点自己的学习感受。

我看的是英文原版，一方面是学习地道演讲表达，另一方面也是出于喜爱英语语言。

老外自小培养当众发言的能力，这对建立良好的口头表达和树立演讲时的自信心都是极有帮助的。

我们小时候接受的教育关注点在于书写多于口述，导致当众发言不免怯场，词不达意，即使准备了发言稿，演讲起来也气势不足。

我现在就会刻意多关注外国名人或者专业人士的主题演讲，从用词组句、故事叙述、面部表情、肢体语言等各方面学习演讲的技巧。

1、 ...thank you esteemed members of the faculty, proud parents, devotedfriends, squirming siblings. 

Sandberg这篇致辞的开头就有吸引我的亮点，形容词+名词的排列组合非常有感染力。

2、 Today is a day of celebration… Today is a day of thanks… Today is aday of reflection… 

说完祖母的奋斗故事后，排比句强调今日典礼的意义。

3、 Today will be a bit different… Today I will try to tell you what I learned in death. I have never spoken publicly about this before. It’s hard. But I will do my very best not to blow my nose on this beautiful Berkeley robe.

话锋一转，叙述自己痛苦的故事，且强调伯克利毕业典礼这个场合非同一般的重要性。

4、 Dave’s death changed me in very profound ways. I learned about the depths of sadness and the brutality of loss. But I also learned that when life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface, and breathe again. I learned that in the face of the void-or in the face of any challenge-you can choose joy and meaning.

这段Sandberg描述自己从痛苦中成长的话不仅生动形象，而且相当引人共情。

5、 You will almost certainly face more and deeper adversity. There’s loss of opportunity: the job that doesn’t work out, the illness or accident that changes everything in an instant. There’s loss of dignity: the sharp sting of prejudice when it happens. There’sl oss of love:the broken relationships that can’tbe fixed. And sometimes there’s loss of life itself.

还是排比，通过不断强调表达强烈的情感。

6、 It is the hard days-the times that chalenge you to your very core-that will determine who you are. You will be defined not just by what you achieve, but by how you survive.

可以借鉴的励志话语。

7、 …there are three P’s-personalization,pervasiveness, and permanence-that are critical to how we bounce back from the hardship.The seeds of resilience are planted in the we process the negative events in our lives. 

3P：我们没有过错、悲剧不会影响全部生活、悲伤不会持续永远。resilience：恢复力、回弹、韧性。Sandberg用的都是精准且耐人寻味的词汇。

8、 We feel anxious-and then we feel anxious that we’re anxious. We feel sad-and thenwe feel that we’re sad. 

有意思的表达，对仗工整。

9、 Finding gratitude and appreciation is key to resilience.

提纲挈领，找到解决方法，引出下文叙述。

10、 There so many moments of joy ahead of you. That trip you always wanted to take. A first kiss with someone you really like. The day you got a job doing something you truly believe in… all of these things will happen to you. Enjoy each and every one.让人联想和热血澎湃的表达。

11、Class of 2016, as you leave Berkeley, build resilience. Build resiliencein yourselves… Build resilient organizations… Build resilient communities…

依然是不断的排比，逐渐进入致辞尾声。

12、You have the whole world in front of you. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. 

致辞结束套话，但很实用。

Ps. 这篇文章是我学习Sandberg演讲致辞的词句摘抄和个人感受。

我坚信，好的演讲能力是成为优秀管理者的助推器，所以要努力！
