The human voice: It's the instrument we all play.

00:13

It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably.

00:18

It's the only one that can start a war or say " I love you."

00:21

And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them.

00:23

And why is that?

00:28

How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?

00:29

What I'd like to suggest, there are a number of habits that we need to move away from.

00:33

I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking.

00:37

I'm not pretending this is an exhaustive list, but these seven, I think, are pretty large habits that we can all fall into.

00:41

First, gossip.

00:49

Speaking ill of somebody who's not present.

00:50

Not a nice habit, and we know perfectly well the person gossiping, five minutes later, will be gossiping about us. Second, judging.

00:54

We know people who are like this in conversation, and it's very hard to listen to somebody if you know that you're being judged and found wanting at the same time.

01:03

Third, negativity.

01:12

You can fall into this.

01:13

My mother, in the last years of her life, became very negative, and it's hard to listen.

01:15

I remember one day, I said to her, " It's October 1 today," and she said, " I know, isn't it dreadful?"

01:20

(Laughter) It's hard to listen when somebody's that negative.

01:25

(Laughter) And another form of negativity, complaining.

01:29

Well, this is the national art of the U. K. It's our national sport.

01:33

We complain about the weather, sport, about politics, about everything, but actually, complaining is viral misery.

01:38

It's not spreading sunshine and lightness in the world.

01:44

Excuses.

01:48
