GENERAL COLIN POWELLFORMER SECRETARY OF STATE TO BUSH ADMINISTRATION

“Kids need Structure”

Wednesday, January 23, 13

GENERAL POWELL ENGAGED THE AUDIENCE WITH HIS SINCERITY AND PASSION WITH HIS DIALOGUE. HE SPEAKS WITH SUCH CALM AND INSPIRES HIS LISTENERS WITH A GREAT

STORY.

Throughout the rest of the speech, he becomes more passionate and indirectly uses humor and wit to get his point across.

Wednesday, January 23, 13

THE COMMANDMENT THAT REFLECTS GEN. POWELL’S SPEECH IS COMMANDMENT VI (6) WHICH STATES “THOU SHALT NOT FLAUNT THINE EGO. BE THOU VULNERABLE, SPEAK OF

THY FAILURE AS WELL AS THY SUCCESS.

Gen. Powell reflected on his troubled childhood in New York City and also told us a story that revealed unknown details about this successful man. He never once brought up the fact that he was a

General or Secretary of State; he was very humble when speaking about his success.

GENERAL POWELL BROUGHT UP ONE INTERESTING POINT WHEN GIVING ADVICE TO A YOUNG PERSON IN HIS SPEECH

“It ain’t where we start in life, it’s what you do with life that determines where you end life”.

DYNAMISM: 5/5General Powell was phenomenal in his speech. I was very attentive to detail and took some very

interesting points to heart.

Wednesday, January 23, 13

WHAT I LEARNED FROM GENERAL POWELL SPEECH ON “KIDS NEED STRUCTURE” WAS ENGAGE THE CROWD WITH PASSION AND CHARISMA. KEEP THE AUDIENCE INTERESTED BUT ALSO BE INDIRECT WITH YOUR POINTS BY USING HUMOR. KEEP CALM AND HAVE

GREAT BODY LANGUAGE.

COMPARE AND CONTRASTSir Ken Robinson & Gen. Colin Powell

Wednesday, January 23, 13

BOTH SPEAKERS BRING A GREAT PASSION AND CALM WHEN THEY ARE CONDUCTING A SPEECH. THEY ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE WITH INDIRECT HUMOR TO GET THEIR POINT

ACROSS TO THE AUDIENCE.What is very important to the two is the amount of valid and accurate information that they use in

the speeches they deliver.

Wednesday, January 23, 13

BUT I DO FEEL THAT SIR KEN ROBINSON HAS THAT VERY DIRECT AND SHARP TONE IN HIS SPEECH COMPARED TO GENERAL POWELL’S “KIDS NEED STRUCTURE” SPEECH.

Wednesday, January 23, 13

ANOTHER DIFFERENCE SIR ROBINSON HAS IN THE TWO VIDEOS I WATCHED “SCHOOLS KILL CREATIVITY” & “CHANGING EDUCATION PARADIGMS” WAS THE AMOUNT OF

INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE SPEECH COMPARED TO POWELL’S “KIDS NEED STRUCTURE” SPEECH.

Wednesday, January 23, 13

AT THE END OF THE DAY THESE 2 WISE GENTLEMAN HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH PUBLIC SPEAKING AND BEING INTRIGUING PEOPLE TO LOOK UP TOO ON HOW IT IS

SUPPOSE TO BE DONE.
