This week in the first two part podcast by Dr. Laura Sicola and Vocal Impact Productions, Laura is joined by Nikelle King and Rachael Jones to discuss the incredible communication skills of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Here are a few things that you will learn in this episode: How Dr. King used repetitive phrases in his speeches to leave his audiences remembering key points of his speeches. Sharing Dr. King’s speeches and writings to understand how those skills inspired an entire generation.  Understanding the power of Dr. King’s storytelling and the empathy that he generated. Dr. King’s use of imagery and analogies that added to his long standing reputation as a “master of communication.” One of the speeches that was shared in this episode was Dr. King’s visit to Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia, PA in October 1967.  In a short speech by Dr. King’s standards, the 20 minute speech was breathtaking.  We encourage you to visit: https://bit.ly/3QFn4TH and check it out.
