It's interesting to be discussing communication on a week when the democratic party is stating the forum, and nominating President Obama to represent their party. But I choose former president Bill Clinton as a person who I feel knows how to communicate effectively. As I watch former president Clinton deliver his speak, the first thing that I noticed was his smile, that facial expression. I also listened to his words, but I also watched his body language. His movements and his words, seemed to capture the attention of the audience. He also talked about ventures that he had undertaken which made his delivery more credible. I would definitely have to say that being knowledgeable about the content matter is a plus, when addressing a crowd of people.
As a person who attends church and sometimes being given an opportunity to speak, I understand how important it is to be informed about the issues you will be discussing.
I would like to model some of his behavior in order to become a competent communicator, buy being knowledgeable, poised, confident when I'm placed in front of an ordience. That winning smile, helps to ease the fears of the audience. I just think he did a marvelace job with his speech delivery. This is not intended to start a denomination debate, but to merely point out his characteristics, and communication delivery.
