“To know the art of impressing the imagination of crowds is to know at the same time the art of governing them.” – Gustav Le Bon
As a professional politician, you must speak a lot. And (as the saying goes) it’s not just what you say but how you say it. If people don’t gather around you when you speak, you need to improve both your speech and the way in which you deliver it. A public speaking coach may help your speeches become more impactful.
A speech should contain several key ideas, clearly expressed so that they can be easily understood. It is best to address people’s concerns specifically. If you talk about such concerns and the way you will help people face any difficulties, they will listen to you. Interesting ideas may hold one’s audience but there is no guarantee that people will also follow you. Mobilising people is not achieved with ideas but with emotions. The influencing power is determined by the pathos of your speech, given that intense emotion also carries a call to action. This effect is more powerful amongst larger crowds. As Gustav Le Bon said, speakers who are able to move crowds “always appeal to emotion, not to reason”.[1] To mobilise the masses, you need to give an intelligent speech but also to deliver the speech in a way that arouses intense emotions. It is all in the rhythm and the tone you use. The right inflections can help you mesmerise people, assert yourself and prompt your listeners to act in support of your aim.
