Politicians & Political Aides

• Tired of hearing yourself say the same old things?
  
  
• Can't possibly write even one more speech?
  
  
• Don't want to sound exactly like everyone else in your Party?
  
  
• Trying to reach out to your constituents?

• GemMine
  U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, was considered a genius because of his bon mots and carefully chosen quotes from ancient philosophers to current global leaders. Now you, too, can sound like the best read person on the planet...without turning a single page. Our site offers you thousands of literary gems and a handy method for choosing "just the right ones". It also contains useful items like parables, toasts and graces...no longer simple items in this day of political correctness.



• Just the Right Words
  Don't want to sound like a stevedore in front of a group of accountants or visa versa? Another important screening tool helps you choose your content based on the audience's level of vocabulary; and, their reaction to jargon... another significant way for a presenter to relate to his/her listeners. In our GemMine we code each selection by vocabulary level. Coach's Corner shows you techniques for quickly deciding on what level to aim for.
  
  The Reference Room of SpeechGems provides you with a comparison of formal and informal wordings to fit the situation. It also contains the latest ( and the, now, passe) buzz words in our NewSpeak area. You will also find tidbits of seasonal interest.
  
  Put the strength of our Power Words behind each significant point in your presentation. They are part of the Persuaderssection on the Subscribers site.
  
  Picturesque Speech in Pizzazz will re-trigger for you, the use of those stimulating phrases and expressions which so effectively draw your audience into your concepts.



• Interesting Facts

• Inclusive Language
  One of our unique postings is a number of ways to draw the audience into your presentation. It combines discussions of group dynamics with our own version of inclusive language. ... no, not the politically correct versions (although we have that, too) . . ., but rather, words and expressions which make the audience feel they are a major part of what the presenter is presenting.
  
  Our hallmark is our focus on Receiver Oriented Communication, one of the features in Coach's Corner . Inclusive language is just one of the techniques outlined.
