Finish song When did all my friends become so loud?
We act like reality shows
Probably because reality blows
When did all my friends become so loud?
We traded our boring lives
For MTV story lines
Why?
Recently he said, that she said, that we said some sh..it that you wouldn't believe
Recently he said that she said that we said that he said some sh../it about me
So we're caught up in drama (Everybody's talking, Everybody's talking)
We're caught up in problems (Everybody's talking, Everybody's talking)
Hold up, hold up
Can we make it stop?
Hold up, hold up
But I'm so caught up in drama
Everybody's talking
Everybody's talking now

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
