LINKEDIN SPEAKER SERIES:
NANCY DUARTEIDEA AND STORYTELLING
PRESENTED BY: SHUBHAM VERMA,
IIT GUWAHATI
According to the theory of resonance in physics , every
object has a resonant frequency and when it interacts with
a wave of same resonant frequency , it shakes .
Nancy studied some of the famous
speeches and decoded a pattern……
…….and this pattern resembled a sine
wave.
All the speech transitions between what Duarte called ‘What is’ and ‘What could be’
The current reality / The world we are operating in
The contrast between today and the alluring future which made people react.
The bright future / A possibility
STEVE JOBS’ iPhone LAUNCH SPEECH
• The most heightened sense of ‘What could be’
• The speech had frequent jokes and himself laughed , showed excitement
and clapped which made audience to physically connect with his speech
(Speech pattern of Steve Jobs)
Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” Speech
• Used the symbolic way of speaking
• Symbols such as he chose the Lincoln Memorial to give the speech and used the
Declaration of Constitution and Independence in his speech and used a song with
changed lyrics which they use to sing during Anti-slavery movement.
• Use of phrase in a speech becomes a beloved part to the speakers and hence his “I
have a Dream” part made the speech memorable.

Jawahar Lal Nehru’s Independence Day Speech
• The pattern observed was of most perfect shapes in all the speeches
analysed.

upcoming bright future.

Richard Feynmann’s speech on Nanotechnology

which students would remember for a long time even after his class.

Margaret Thatcher’s Iron Lady Speech
• In her speech , she used contrast at phrase level , which is beloved by
the listeners.

Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount Speech
• His Sermon on the Mount speech is the longest known piece he said
• It has the tightest speech pattern of all the speeches analysed.
• Used the beloved phrase pattern to speak and talked in an inconclusive manner
• Inconclusive manner means he told the listeners that what would happen with us
would depend on what we do.

Sun Jong Chun’s Pan Asian Speech
• The most fascinating thing about his speech was that , it mostly goes in the ‘What is /
What was phase’
• Eastern way of storytelling was used.
(Sun Jong Chun’s Speech pattern)
Eastern way of storytelling / spreading ideas
Eastern / Asian people value their culture and history . West wants to hear about future , East like
to hear about their past . In Eastern culture , ideas should not be put forward directly , you should go
on speaking and slowly hit the core idea.
Recap
• Divide your speech in ‘What is’ and ‘What could be’ so that the contrast
provides a physical reaction to the audience and makes them interested.
• Identify your audience and how your story should go.
• Spend time to work on the idea .
• Try to use the ways which some of the popular speakers use like use of
phrases , use of poetic language , symbolism .
