[Music]
it’s lovely really lovely to meet you
thank you so much for coming
I’ve heard lots of talks starts with the
greeting and many exotic languages my
own native tongue is that of Lancashire
northern England
so arethe it’s great to meet you
greetings are good aren’t they because
they establish a human connection
between us and they take the fear out of
this encounter because let’s be honest
most of us aren’t fearless we look to
role models to help us aspire to that
state my role model my heroine is from
way back when I was a little girl she
was brave she was courageous she looked
the world in the eye and when she
encountered difficulty she kept going to
use the modern turn of phrase
she was resilient and she approached the
world also with empathy and good humor
but best of all she could see and she
found her fearlessness through the world
because my heroine was Julie Andrews or
more importantly she was Maria in the
sound of music my friend Wendy and I
loved the sound of music and we watch
his solo with cinema with regale
children locally with elements of the
soundtrack at the slightest opportunity
I delivered my stage in my back garden
but the soundtrack of our own nice well
that was to play out very differently
mine
well that involves a school scholarship
the first in my family to go to
university I suppose the broadening of
my potential but Wendy well Wendy’s was
a sad
emotional neglect economic poverty entry
into the care system and all have her
own for children taken into care how did
that happen
to bright young girls both full of
potential from the same house because we
shared a semi-detached house on a large
housing estate in Lancashire both with
equal potential and yet with hers
utterly extinguished
maybe you’ve witnessed the extinguishing
of attention someone you know think back
to your primary school class who are the
people who truly succeeded who are those
who succeeded in its widest form perhaps
you just witnessed a slow fizzling out
of potential maybe that person was you
perhaps that’s why you’re here I pressed
on I emerged from the education system
with all my academic boxes nicely taped
and my scientific degree in my Maria
carpet bag of confidence oh dear it was
at that point when I encountered the
worlds of work that I realized that
cleverness as measured by education
didn’t really count for a huge amount in
the world of work here it was spoken
communication that was changed whether
it was in the car park in the cafe in
the boardroom in a meeting it was spoken
language that was really key
how was I to cope I was utterly
astounded I didn’t have the skills I
thought I needed ward Maria did well to
be honest with you my heroines options
in this moment seemed pretty limited her
seemed to involve singing twirling about
a lot or maybe making some clothes out
of curtains what did I do
well I embarked on a career in learning
and
elephants because it was then that I
really gained a passion for the
development of human potential and I
wanted to help it was only when my
employers started investing in my own
development that I realized I’d never
been actually taught to speak it wasn’t
that knowledge wasn’t important
it was just that actually now it was the
communication of knowledge the discourse
and dialogue around it that really
counted and now in 2018 well I guess you
guys have got one of these on you
knowledge it’s freely available to it to
us all it’s the communication of that
knowledge that’s paramount what next
well I’m here to share with you this
it’s been my experience as a
communication coach over many years
across many sectors from retail to
science to education but lies successful
people are great verbal communicators
and they’re also empathetic attentive
listeners and they have the social and
cognitive skills that underpin those
abilities think about it when you move
your agenda forward in any way make some
human contact support encourage someone
else negotiate love it’s your aura see
ability that pays the way orosi actual
productive empathetic attentive
communication I had a baby it was
marvelous it was the greatest joy and it
opens so many doors to me but here I
encountered another enormous challenge I
was unable to have any more children but
from that despair and it was despair Kay
my greatest joy just like the rear I
became an adoptive mother to two amazing
daughters and it was these
that deepened my passion for human
potential and it was around then that I
began to ask myself the question what if
all the people who came to me for help
without orosi skills from business
entrepreneurs scientists had gained
these skills while they were at school
because as my children entered the
education system that became really
important to me I took a look around not
much seems to be happening in fact as my
three progressed through school
classrooms seemed to me to become
increasingly and horribly silent so for
the last six years after working with
adults on that honesty I’ve been working
with children aged 6 to 6 form on their
orison skills and as Maria would say
here are a few of my favorite things
children love talking so they love
talking about talking and then more than
able to take on the protocols and
patterns of effective productive
communication what I’m talking about
here is children being routinely asked
to share their opinion productively and
have their verbal communication valued
in a classroom because we know it’s been
measured actually by people like me who
care about RC academics that children
talk very little in our classrooms in
fact they talk for usually less than
five minutes a day in a classroom
setting now if you accept that all
learning is a product and practice then
it seems to me to be really a poor
choice to spend so little time on this
most important of life skills Miria this
is real last week before she gave a
speech she was given a brief to speak
about an event experience or visit and
she chose to talk about her experience
of her mother having cancer and her
admiration for her mom over that time it
was amazing it was marvelous it was her
story connected with the world in this
week’s Harvard Business Review there’s
an item for chief executive officers and
it states that if you tell a story from
a place of true personal conviction you
really do have the best communication
honestly is completely missing from our
state’s education system
ask yourself why the Russell Group
universities and the Oxbridge group and
indeed Parliament are a missed entirely
populated by people who have had the
benefits of a private education they’ve
learned from a very engaged but their
voice matters they’ve learned to find
their voice and they’ve also learned to
use it appropriately now Maria you’ve a
lot to answer for
you taught me that it was okay to
challenge the status quo you taught me
that it was marvelous I mean really
marvelous to be a champion of children
and their true potential and you also
showed up as your authentic self with
all your frailties and vulnerabilities
and to passion
so watch we go as on this stage today
you’ll see lots of speakers ordinary
people with great stories how do they do
it
what’s their secret well they had great
orosi coaching they had marvelous help
to get here and you could do it –
because it was Maria’s voice
Maria’s orosi that helped her move her
agenda forward and orosi isn’t for the
a hora c is for everyone thank you very
