Barack Obama is a magnificent orator and speaker. Mesmerizing his audiences, he speaks for almost twice as long as the average political speech – 20-30 minutes longer than most political speakers. His audiences come away deeply affected by the experience. Since a new election is close, it is time to talk about the elements of charisma and how he uses them. Maybe we can learn something.
As good an orator as Barack Obama is, we believe that his brilliant speaking skills and his overwhelming charisma is not just something one is born with, it is something that can be taught. As good as he is,Obama’s oratorical skills are certainly no better than John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and others who have been trained in NLP. Most important to understand is that there is nothing that the President does that you cannot learn to do yourself.
