All great speakers share a common trait: They learned to be great by studying those that went before them. Although we are enamored by the oratory skills of public figures from time to time, none was born with the ability to persuade or inspire. Instead, what makes them good is the intensity of their desire to study and learn the basic skills that set great speakers apart. Jack Kennedy studied FDR and Churchill and put his own very human stamp on their style. Bill Clinton studied Kennedy and Martin Luther King; Obama has studied them all, and when he shares stories from his life, you can even hear the comforting tones of Ronald Reagan. Speaking well is not about genes. Unlike basketball or the violin, no talent is required. Speaking well is a skill, comprised of physical behaviors, learnable by anyone who cares enough to succeed.
