演講英文開場白 篇1
mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f. hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma. i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956. i am the youngest of 13 children. i had my early education in okmulgee county. my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area. my mother's name is irma hill. she is also a farmer and a housewife.
my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents. i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983. it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.
for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977. i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.
i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980. upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.
in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.
in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.
during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.
what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleepless number -- a great number of sleepless nights that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.
i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.
i declined any comment to newspapers, but later when senate staff asked me about these matters i felt i had a duty to report. i have no personal vendetta against clarence thomas. i seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant.
it would have been more comfortable to remain silent. i took no initiative to inform anyone. but when i was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, i felt that i had to tell the truth. i could not keep silent.
演講英文開場白 篇2
尊敬的各位企業(yè)家朋友:
大家下午好!
很高興有這樣一個機會,和大家相聚在美麗的清華園。前幾天我看到一文章,文章中說:“企業(yè)家是最優(yōu)秀的群體。”對這句話我深有感觸。由于工作的關系,我接觸過許多企業(yè)家,他們“志存高遠”、“執(zhí)著奮進”、“百折不撓”、“勇?lián)熑巍薄拇_令人十分欽佩。企業(yè)家們在奮斗的歷程中,在為社會創(chuàng)造物質財富的同時,更留下了一筆最寶貴的財富,所以,在一次演講中我曾經(jīng)指出,的企業(yè)家,特別是改革開放以來迅速崛起的民營企業(yè)家是我們國家一道最靚麗的風景,也是一處最動人的坐標!在這里,請大家接受我最真誠的敬意!
好,“吹捧”的話講完了,下面該說點“不中聽”的話了,這叫先禮后兵。說什么“不中聽”的話呢?我認為啊,目前的企業(yè)家,論智慧,有!論膽識,有!論魄力,有!論管理,在行!論用人,在行!論競爭,在行!企業(yè)家們有著這樣那樣的優(yōu)勢,但獨缺一種理念,這個理念概括起來僅有十三個字,那就是“演講力是企業(yè)家的核心競爭力”,所以,今天我想用一個多小時的時間和大家探討一下這個問題。
演講英文開場白 篇3
一、從天氣切入主題
去年夏季的一天,從早上天氣就非常炎熱,溫度很高,陽光非常明媚。那天,我給公司新員工做基礎培訓,我就在考慮如何開場。突然,我想到何不借鑒今天的天氣狀況做個開場呢?于是,培訓開始時:
“各位,大家早上好,歡迎您來到我們x公司。今天的天氣呢,陽光明媚,溫度非常的炎熱,祝愿各位每天心情像今天的陽光一樣,永遠開心明媚!對待生活、工作、學習像今天的溫度一樣,永遠激情澎湃!”
(我的聲音音調逐漸高上去)這時,我發(fā)現(xiàn)很多學員露出了微笑,現(xiàn)場變得輕松,拉近了與學員的心理距離,我就從容的展開了課題。
二、拋出問題切入法
有次針對一百多人的團隊講課時,我發(fā)現(xiàn)我被介紹上場時,現(xiàn)場聽眾情緒狀態(tài)并沒有達到理想狀態(tài),當然對我也不夠了解,于是我經(jīng)過簡單而富有激情的問候以后,而且是很快取得下面聽眾的呼應,馬上我就拋個問題給我的聽眾了:
“請問各位親愛的伙伴,今天是個什么特殊的日子呢?”
我一問完,大家思路馬上被引導去想今天是什么日子,可當天并不是什么樣節(jié)日,有的說是不是誰生日,有的說是不是冬至,有的說是第一次聽你講課,等等各種有趣猜想,氣氛逐級升溫,我不斷點頭微笑附和,最后我看時機已到,于是我方面語速告訴我的聽眾: “各位伙伴,你們回答的都很好,而我要告訴你的是,今天是你人生當中從來沒有經(jīng)歷過的全新的一天,同意嗎?所以各位我們應該給我們全新的一天,熱烈掌聲鼓勵一下!”
三、故事切入法
我們的培訓教室能容納四十多人,有時候參加培訓的人員較少,只有五、六人或者十幾人,可是,我發(fā)現(xiàn),他們普遍坐在教室的后面(中國人的特性吧),我這樣開場:
“這個現(xiàn)象我發(fā)現(xiàn)很久了,為什么大家都愿意坐在后面呢?我想這大概是中國人的本性吧。在這里,我首先講一個故事吧”。(是撒切爾夫人永遠做前排的故事,詳見下面)講完故事后,然后我就用高昂的聲調說:“‘永遠坐在前排’是一種積極的人生態(tài)度,激發(fā)你一往無前的勇氣和爭創(chuàng)一流的精神。在這個世界上,想坐前排的人不少,真正能夠坐在“前排”的卻總是不多。許多人所以不能坐到“前排”,就是因為他們把“坐在前排”僅僅當成一種人生理想,而沒有采取具體行動。那么現(xiàn)在在座的各位,有沒有想坐前排,并且愿以自己的行動真正的做到前排來呢?!”
這樣,員工都坐到前面來,并且達到了心與心的碰撞!
四、名人名言切入法
這是我參加一次內訓課時講師的開場白:分享俄國偉大的作家托爾斯泰的三句話。
這世界上最重要的人是誰?(學員思考、討論片刻,打出答案)——現(xiàn)在在我眼前的人。
這世界上最重要的事是什么?(學員思考、討論片刻,打出答案)——現(xiàn)在我要做的事。
這世界上最重要的時間是什么?(學員思考、討論片刻,打出答案)——此時此刻。
結論:
此時此刻,我們做最重要的事,因為我們是最重要的人!(全體學員一起說)
五、分享宋方渠老師的精彩開場白
“各位優(yōu)秀的伙伴大家下午好!很高興有機會和大家一起學習一起成長。首先要感謝我們的主辦方####公司和####經(jīng)理,是他給我們這樣一個好的學習溝通機會。借各位熱情的雙手對他們的付出表示感謝!謝謝! 最重要的是要感謝你們的到來、因為有你們的到來才會有我們的今天,把掌聲送給優(yōu)秀的你們自己!”
“大家以為我會怎么樣,其實也不怎么樣,首先是海拔不高,170cm的高度,但也不要太失望,據(jù)目前最新科學調查,這個高度是目前地球最適合生存的高度,大家要不要給我這個最適合的高度熱烈的掌聲鼓勵一下?謝謝!在座各位是第一次來聽我演講的請舉手給我看一下好嗎?好,把手放下,居然有這么多的新朋友,我們用掌聲對新朋友的到來表示熱烈的歡迎!同時也歡迎我們的老朋友!讓我們的新朋友和老朋友成為我們一生的好朋友,大家說好不好?”
背景故事:永遠都要坐前排
20世紀30年代,英國一個不出名的小鎮(zhèn)里,有一個叫瑪格麗特的小姑娘,自小就受到嚴格的家庭教育。父親經(jīng)常向她灌輸這樣的觀點:無論做什么事情都要力爭一流,永遠做在別人前頭,而不能落后于人。“即使是坐公共汽車,你也要永遠坐在前排。”父親從來不允許她說:“我不能”或者&l
dquo;太難了”之類的話。 對年幼的孩子來說,他的要求可能太高了,但他的教育在以后的年代里被證明是非常寶貴的。正是因為從小就受到父親的“殘酷”教育,才培養(yǎng)了瑪格麗特積極向上的決心和信心。在以后的學習、生活或工作中,她時時牢記父親的教導,總是抱著一往無前的精神和必勝的信念,盡自己最大努力克服一切困難,做好每一件事情,事事必爭一流,以自己的行動實踐著“永遠坐在前排”。 瑪格麗特上大學時,學校要求五年的拉丁文課程。她憑著自己頑強的毅力和拼搏精神,硬是在一年內全部學完了。令人難以置信的是,她的考試成績竟然名列前茅。
其實,瑪格麗特不光是學業(yè)上出類拔萃,她在體育、音樂、演講及學校的其他活動方面也都一直走在前列,是學生中鳳毛麟角的佼佼者之一。當年她所在學校的校長評價她說:“她無疑是我們建校以來最優(yōu)秀的學生,她總是雄心勃勃,每件事情都做得很出色。” 正因為如此,四十多年以后,英國乃至整個歐洲政壇上才出現(xiàn)了一顆耀眼的明星,她就是連續(xù)四年當選保守黨領袖,并于1979年成為英國第一位女首相,雄踞政壇長達11年之久,被世界政壇譽為“鐵娘子”的瑪格麗特撒切爾夫人。
“永遠坐在前排”是一種積極的人生態(tài)度,激發(fā)你一往無前的勇氣和爭創(chuàng)一流的精神。在這個世界上,想坐前排的人不少,真正能夠坐在“前排”的卻總是不多。許多人所以不能坐到“前排”,就是因為他們把“坐在前排”僅僅當成一種人生理想,而沒有采取具體行動。那些最終坐到“前排”的人,之所以成功,是因為他們不但有理想,更重要的是他們把他們的理想變成了行動。
一位哲人說過:無論做什么事情,你的態(tài)度決定你的高度。撒切爾夫人的父親對孩子的教育給了我們深刻的啟示。
