"Speaker I admire"

Everyone is a speaker. Whether you are speaking as a student, teacher, employee, parent, professionally or non-professionally, you are considered a speaker. There are many extremely talented speakers that have been in this world over the years including Martin L. King, several presidents, and many professional motivational speakers. Yet out of all the 'known' speakers I find that the speaker I admire most is not a professional in the eyes of the world, but is a professional in the eyes of my own. Jill Yager is that person. Jill was my dance teacher growing up and still remains in my life today. As she taught class, she wasn't there just to teach, she was there to make a difference, and you could tell just by the way she spoke to us. She wanted us to feel the power of dance and how it could change you. She was so intuitive and passionate about what she talking about it persuaded me to work, love, and admire dance that much more. Her power to persuade came from the idea of pathos. Jill always put her whole heart into teaching and let her emotions do the talking at times. Her ability to embrace the whole class emotionally was a natural way to sway the audience on a positive note. As for myself, I relate myself to ethos the most. I am all about making people laugh and enjoy the presence of me as well them. I engage my personal character to allow my audience to join me wherever the conversation is leading. I love to talk and have a good time, as well as being the center of attention :) I am a very confident person and I believe that in order to persuade someone one, confidence is a key aspect. Humor as well can tie into that; so in other words just be yourself and let your own VOICE take you where it desires. Aristotle was brilliant with the idea of ethos, pathos, and logos. Everyone shares at least one aspect of it and uses it to create personality.
