このコンテンツについて
(Start with an Intriguing Question or Scenario - 1 minute)
"Imagine setting sail on a vast ocean without a compass or a destination in mind. You might drift aimlessly, expend energy without purpose, and ultimately never reach your intended shore. In the realm of public speaking, your core message – your purpose and thesis – acts as that vital compass and destination."
(Introduce the Topic and Its Significance - 1 minute)
"Today, we delve into the crucial art of 'Crafting Your Core Message: Defining Your Purpose and Thesis.' This isn't just about picking a topic; it's about drilling down to the very essence of why you're speaking and what single, powerful idea you want your audience to take away. Mastering this skill is the difference between a speech that informs and one that truly resonates, between a presentation that's heard and one that's remembered."
(State Your Goal for the Session - 30 seconds)
"My aim today is to equip you with the tools and mindset to clearly define your speaking purpose and to articulate your central message with such precision and power that it becomes the unwavering anchor of your entire presentation."
(Briefly Outline What You'll Cover - 30 seconds)
"We'll explore the vital importance of having a clear purpose, the process of formulating a compelling thesis statement, and how these elements work together to create a focused and impactful speech."
(Part 1: Unearthing Your "Why": Defining Your Purpose - Approximately 10-12 minutes)
(The Foundational Question: Why Are You Speaking? - 2 minutes)
"Before you even think about what you want to say, you must first answer the fundamental question: Why are you speaking? What do you hope to achieve? Is it to inform, to persuade, to entertain, to inspire, to commemorate? Your general purpose will shape the entire trajectory of your speech."
(Exploring the General Purposes of Speaking - 3 minutes)
"Let's briefly touch upon the common general purposes: * To Inform: To educate your audience, increase their understanding, or share knowledge. * To Persuade: To influence your audience's beliefs, attitudes, or actions. * To Entertain: To engage your audience and provide enjoyment. * To Inspire: To uplift, motivate, or stir the emotions of your audience. * To Commemorate: To pay tribute, honor, or remember a person, event, or idea.
"Understanding your primary goal will guide your content, tone, and delivery. You wouldn't deliver a persuasive speech with the same approach as an informative one, would you?"
(Moving to the Specific Purpose: Narrowing Your Aim - 3 minutes)
"While your general purpose is broad, your specific purpose is laser-focused. It's a concise statement outlining exactly what you want your audience to understand, believe, feel, or do as a result of your speech. It often starts with an infinitive phrase like 'To inform my audience about...' or 'To persuade my audience to...'"
(Examples of General to Specific Purpose - 2 minutes)
"For instance, a general purpose might be 'to inform.' A specific purpose could be, 'To inform my audience about the three main benefits of practicing mindfulness.' Or, a general purpose of 'to persuade' might become, 'To persuade my audience to support local farmers by buying their produce.'"
(The Importance of Clarity and Focus - 2 minutes)
"A vague or unclear purpose leads to a rambling and ineffective speech. When your aim is sharp, your message will be direct and impactful. Think of it as focusing a camera lens – the clearer the focus, the sharper the image."
