As the chairman of the Cicero Speechwriting Awards and editor of Vital Speeches of the Day, I'm conducting a rhetoric "jam session" at the Building and Protecting Reputation 2010 conference in Scottsdale, Feb. 24-25.
I know all Boots readers will be there (it is going to be a whale of a show, featuring many of the biggest stars in executive communication), so I'd like to include your nominations for your favorite communication-related video. As you can see by one of the current leading candidates here, I'm open to lots of different kinds of stuff.
Let's have your nominations, either here or via e-mail: vseditor@mcmurry.com.
This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqCAg2tkUyw
Thanks for this, Yossi. I’d never seen it. A good prop (re. Khrushcev’s shoe) does help make a speech memorable.
I’ll put it in the hopper and I’ve added it to the Vital Speeches YouTube Channel, http://www.youtube.com/vitalspeeches
Does the Kitchen Debate qualify, although not a monologue speech?
There’s some good ones from South American figures, but none that I see with subtitles or in English.
