Kennedy had Ted Sorensen, the best speechwriter of his generation. You don't have a speechwriting team, and after this video you won't need one. Oliver breaks down exactly what made JFK's 1963 Berlin speech land the way it did – and how to apply the same moves to your business or career in about 15 minutes.
What you'll learn:
The single message every great speech is built around
How to structure a talk as emotional architecture, not a list of points
The hook technique JFK and MLK both used to make words stick
Why every powerful story needs an enemy, and how to pick yours
The small, human moves that connect you with any audience (yes, including the doughnut myth) - Does your team know the best channel to reach you? What time you'll actually respond? What you need to make a decision?
In this episode, Oliver Aust walks through the seven points of his How to Work With Me Guide that's helped over 300 CEOs take the guesswork out of their teams. It takes just five minutes to make, and will give everyone hours back every week.
