Emotions are the result of personal experiences. They are neither right nor wrong. Life events and personal history uniquely shape emotional responses. Feelings and emotions influence opinions, behavior, communication strategies, and the decision-making process. A speaker’s AUTHORITY is the byproduct of these uniquely specific emotions, opinions, and beliefs. |

| PATHOS The Greek Term for Emotion Ethos, Logos and Pathos are the three rhetorical appeals. Pathos is used to appeal and empower audiences to emotionally receive, feel and experience the speaker’s message in a specific manner. The emotional result may be for the audience to feel excited, angry, happy, motivated, suspicious, hopeful, sad, shocked, etc. Audiences resonate with speakers who use the power of persuasion, emotional impact and personal connection of the rhetorical appeal.

EMOTION: The ‘E’ in Making It M.I.N.E.® |
|
|
The M.I.N.E. Acronym stands for:
M = Motivation I =Intentions N = Need E = Emotions |
|
EMOTION = Depth, Realism, Opinion & AuthorityWhat happens when a speaker doesn’t show emotions? • Audiences disengage or get distracted • Emotions help capture and maintain audience attention. Emotions establish authority and credibility via personal insights and opinions. Strong emotional messages are more persuasive than logical or factual information. Emotional messages leave a lasting impression.
With STORYTELLING all the buzz in business, no wonder speakers are encouraged to use personal anecdotes and stories to shape and illustrate an opinion or concept! Emotions capture an audience’s attention. Statistics and data… well, not as much. |

Emotions reside in the breath. Emotions have movement. Emotional words go up, down, in, out, wiggle, and have inflection.
Take a moment to read each of the words below. Add a whimper, sigh, grrr, gasp, laugh, or another emotional sound prior to saying each emotional word. Make a mental note of how the breath is used and the action and direction each word takes. SURPRISED • HOPEFUL • SMUG • HAPPY • SAD • MOTIVATED |

Your message has purpose when it leads the listener to an emotional response so they FEEL and TAKE ACTION.
|
|
When a message is neutral, it lacks history, persuasion, and a personal connection. So… Make strong emotional choices. Happy and Sad are the emotional extremes. Be a storyteller. Leave a lasting impression.
If you need a little help applying this technique, you can always schedule a coaching session. I’m here for you! |
