演讲中的关键因素：声音
我们先试着把自己的声音录下来，然后听听自己的声音。——有什么发现吗？ 你多半会大吃一惊，“我听上去是这样的吗？”也许你们对自己的声音会感到沮丧，在心里可能会说：“这不可能是我！我觉得我的嗓音更深沉（更响亮、更圆润……）。” 记住：对自己声音的怀疑会使最自信的演讲者都变得有些拘谨。 其实一些著名的演说家和演员的嗓音也不是很理想。……但我们现在没有时间去接受几年的演讲培训。所以就让我们花一点...
演讲技巧之演讲艺术
演讲者总是抱怨准备太仓促。事实上，只要进行合理分配，时间根本不是问题。 除了雕琢核心观点鲜明的文稿，制作形象生动的幻灯片和熟悉现场技术设备之外，更重要的是搞清以下几个概念并均衡分配时间：“说什么”“怎么说”；“练习”“预演”；“物质准备”“心理准备”。 很多经理人都是在演讲结束时才开始大彻大悟：“要是我处理那个问题时，稍稍多一点技巧就好了”；“要是能找到更多有说服力的数据来支持我的观点就好了...

诡辩的故事
所谓诡辩就是有意地把真理说成是错误，把错误说成是真理的狡辩。它也叫文字游戏，用一句简单明了的话来说，就是有意地颠倒是非，混淆黑白。关于诡辩论有那哪些经典的让人哭笑不得的故事吗? 一个人有三个头 某甲对某乙说：“我能证明‘一个人有三个头’。”乙说：“愿闻高见。”甲说：“每个人有一个头，没有人有两个头，一个人比没有人多一个头，所以，一个人有三个头。”乙虽然知道甲的论证是错误的，但不能指出错...
