It's amazing how even when the same books are read again and again, we never find them boring. Each time is like the first time - the same excitement and interest. But speeches are different and people look for innovation and creativity.

Persuasive speech argues or puts across a point to the audience. It is the art of expressing an opinion clearly and logically.

While presentation is very important when persuading, the magic of a persuasive speech is best experienced only when the topic elicits an interest and appeals to the heart of every member in the audience. And, that is what finally matters.

This is where the topic for the persuasive speech becomes important. We have heard too many speeches that talk about smoking and drinking. Here is a list of some out-of-the-box persuasive speech topics that will help you keep your audience alert and attentive.

List of 100 Persuasive Speech Topics

An icebreaker is an activity in public speaking that is designed to engage the audience and break the ice to get them ready to hear what you're about to say. However, many of the icebreakers out there that the internet sites recommend are pretty average at best and in most cases downright awkward to use.

So I wanted to compile the list of 10 icebreakers that actually work.

So what are these 10 icebreakers that actually work?

Now I'm going to break these into two distinct categories:

1) icebreakers for larger groups of people

2) icebreakers for smaller groups of people.

Now I'm going to assume that you're in a more formal public speaking setting.

When you're in a more informal, maybe a really small training group, where it is very hands on then these icebreakers might not work as well and you might need something that is more interactive.

But I'm assuming we're at corporate meeting or a conference,or a church event or something like that Where it's more formal public speaking engagement. So what are some of the icebreakers that we can use?

Public speaking ice breakers for large groups

1. MAKE A JOKE AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE

Now, I want to say - avoid making really lame,very generalised jokes that don't have to do with you. Definitely avoid jokes that might offend someone as well!

You don't want to make a joke at the expense of anyone in the audience, a joke at the expense of the company, or a joke at the expense who's introduced you, but the joke at the expense of yourself tends to work really well because you're pointing at yourself so people can just laugh along with that.

Jokes like...

"Before coming here tonight I was discussing my talk with my wife and she said to me: 'Don't try to be too charming, too witty or too intellectual, just be yourself.'"

Don't expect full blown laughter with any of these jokes, but it's just kind of a teaser, just kind of warms it up.

If you're at a formal dinner setting, and everyone's getting the same meal or they have two alternating meals, you can say:

"Don't you think it's amazing that 200 of us all came together tonight and we all chose the same meal?"

They're corny but sometimes they can work.

You could say: "Look, I have a bad feeling about this, I was talking to [whoever introduced you], they said they were going to tell a joke before I spoke but instead they just introduced me."

So you're implying you're the joke.

These are some ideas for a couple of jokes that you can do, obviously one that you come up yourself is probably better.

Tie in the context of the company you work for or the situation you're in. The more personal and more appropriate to the situation, the better are the jokes going to work.

2. OPEN WITH 'RAISE-YOUR-HAND' QUESTIONS

You want to do a couple of things before when you're doing raise your hand questions.

Firstly, you want to be positive with your raise your hand questions. Like: "Raise your hands if you want to be happy in life!" "Raise your hand if you want to make a million dollars!"

You don't want to create negative raise your hand questions, because then you're going to create a negative environment. So you're saying: "Raise your hand if you don't have much to show for the last year!" It's not going to make people feel very good about themselves.

And when you're doing raise your hand questions try to ask questions that most people are going to raise their hand to.

The whole idea of the raise your hand questions is to get audience's engagement, and to get group involvement, so the people on the outskirts who aren't really getting into your talk feel like they should get into your talk.

So if you open with a raise your hand question to which only person in the room can raise hand to, it's going to be pretty awkward for that person. But if you ask a question where 9 out of 10 people raise their hand, that one person that doesn't raise their hand kind of feels awkward because they're not doing it.

It's like using positive peer pressure.

3. START A STORY BUT DON'T FINISH IT

So when you get there, just say: "I just want to tell you a story that I think it is very important for my speech today." Or you go on and tell your story, but you leave the conclusion out and you say: "I'll get back to that towards the end."

And so what you're doing - you're drawing people in with stories, but you're not finishing your story so it keeps them engaged.

4. GET AN INTRODUCTION

A lot of people wouldn't classify this as an icebreaker, but it really is. Get someone to introduce you and talk you up a little bit and get people warmed up for you as you come on to the stage.

Then the audience is anticipating your coming and you don't need to break the ice as much because it's already been a little bit broken for you.

5. BREAK SOME NEWS (BIG OR SMALL)

I was recently reading Robert Kiyosaki's book, Retire Young, Retire Rich. And he talks about an investment talk that he did, and he couldn't think how to open his presentation.

As he was reading the morning paper, he came across a story about a couple who had retired about 10 years early. But he then used that news to tie into his story.

So when you get up on stage and you say: "I've read this really interesting article in the paper today," or "Something really interesting or strange happened to me today."

We are inclined as a culture to want to be 'in the know' so when something is happening in the news and people are talking about it we want to hear what it is.

So that's a good way to get people engaged - to break some sort of news, whether it's news that's happened in your country or on the globe or whether it's just something new that has happened in your life that's a bit odd and a bit interesting.

6. ASK EVERYONE TO COMPLETE A SIMPLE TASK

Get the audience to say to the person next to them: "I'm so glad you're here today."

So everyone in the audience has to say that. Or tell them to give the person next to you a high five or give the person a handshake or turn around and say hello to the person behind you or in front of you.

So you get people to complete this small menial task that engages them with people around them and just kind of opens them up and gets them a little more engaged in your presentation.

7. OPEN WITH A QUOTE

Probably not the best icebreaker in the world but it can work especially if it's a great quote and if it's very specific to what you're going to be talking about. Keep it specific to the context or make it a little bit funny.

So surf the internet and look for some quotes and potentially open with a quote.

PUBLIC SPEAKING ICE BREAKERS FOR SMALLER GROUPS

So public speaking icebreakers for smaller groups.

8. GET EVERYONE TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AS A SUPERMARKET ITEM (OR SOMETHING ELSE)

Get everyone to introduce themselves in a strange way.

You could say: "I want everyone to go around the room and I want you to introduce yourself, introduce your name, and then tell us what item in the super market you would be?" or "what item in a hardware store you would be?" or "what kind of fruit you would be?" or "what kind of dish you would be?"

Or you could even do something like: "What is your porn star name?" (which is the name of your first pet, and then your last name as your porn star name is the name of the first street you lived in). So use these sorts of funny things, funny ways for people to introduce themselves.

9. GET EACH PERSON TO INTRODUCE THE PERSON NEXT TO THEM, GIVING THEM A FICTITIOUS LIFE

This can work if the group doesn't know each other at all, but it can also work if the group does each other and so you just say: "Look, this is Bob, and he's actually a super hero at night, he moonlights as a super hero, and his super power is that he can spit fire," or you make up whatever it is and people are inspired to use their creativity.

10. DO A QUIZ

This can be something like you just asking questions to the audience and they have to raise their hands if it's yes or leave it down if it's no.

You can have it in such a way that people stand up and if they're wrong, then they have to sit down.

If you're at a conference, you can do it based on previous content that they should have heard and remembered. Or you can do it based on anything.

Ice Breakers That Actually Work

So there's some icebreakers for you - 10 icebreakers that aren't too awkward.

They aren't mindblowingly amazing but they do work. They are very effective and I hope that gives you a starting place to look out where you're going to open up your speech.

Up in the Air is a great film. Essentially, it is about our commitment in life: at work; in our families; in a relationship.

It stars George Clooney who plays Ryan Bingham, a man whose job is to fly around the United States, helping his firm's corporate clients lay off their staff. Ryan's job sees him on the road most days of the year. In fact, he feels more at home in an airport than he does at home.

Ryan is a solitary guy. He's not interested in commitments or relationships and is very happy with his unencumbered lifestyle. Indeed, his philosophy of life is that the fewer commitments we have, the more fulfilling our lives will be. At one point, however, Ryan begins to wonder whether he should be making connections other than his next flight.

In addition to his main job, Ryan is also a motivational speaker. His keynote speech is entitled, "What's In Your Backpack?". The theme of the speech is that commitments and possessions slow us down and that we would be better off without them.

Regardless of whether you adhere to that philosophy, the speech is excellent for a number of reasons. Below is the trailer for the movie with an abbreviated version of the speech. The full speech text, with analysis, follows.
What's In Your Backpack?

A good, intriguing title. Titles are important. And this is the first of nine questions that Clooney asks his audience. Questions can be effective in a speech because each audience member will answer them in a way that is meaningful to him or her.

Effective use of a prop. He opens the backpack and leaves it on the table in full view for the entirety of the speech.
How much does your life weigh?

Great opening. An unusual and provocative question that makes us think .

Nice pause after this line. Clooney uses pauses very effectively throughout the speech.
Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them?

We know what a backpack is and most of us have worn one at one time or another. Thus, we can identify with the situation.
Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers, the knickknacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. Then you start adding the larger stuff: clothes; tabletop appliances; lamps; linens; your TV.

So far, so good. We are being asked to fill up the backpack, but with little things.

Notice the pauses before and after the final sentence.
The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now and you go bigger: your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Now try to walk. It's kind of hard, isn't it? Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move. And make no mistake, moving is living.

Clooney is now asking us to do something that is physically impossible. There is no way that a backpack can hold all of these things. But because the request is unexpected, it holds our attention. Clooney has, figuratively speaking, opened a hole. (He fills it soon thereafter when we realize that the backpack is a metaphor for our lives.)

Nice alliteration: "lamps; linens".
Now, I'm going to set that backpack on fire.

Nice humor. However, the point is an important set-up for the main theme of the speech which comes immediately after.
What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember. Drink some ginko and let the photos burn.

Now it becomes clear what the metaphor represents.

Nice alliteration with the letter "m" in the final sentence.
In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing. It's kind of exhilarating, isn't it?

Another unexpected statement. We've just stuffed all of our worldly possessions into that backpack and now it is going to be set it on fire! What will happen?
Now, this is going to be a little difficult. So stay with me.

Another important question for the audience. What would we save? It's not coincidental that photos are offered as a first choice. Studies show that photographs are among the things that people hold most important when it comes to their belongings. And, of course, most of our photographs have people in them. This is important because the second part of the speech deals with the people in our lives.
You have a new backpack. Only this time, I want you to fill it with people.

At first blush, "exhilarating" is probably not the word that jumps to mind when thinking about "waking up with nothing". But Clooney's purpose is to get the audience to see that possessions weigh us down and that giving them up can be liberating and rejuvenating.
Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office. Then you move in the people that you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your parents. And finally, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend or your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack.

With this line, George raises the stakes. He signals that the subject matter is going to be difficult and asks the audience to bear with him. On one level, it is a somewhat cumbersome transition, but the reference to the difficulty ahead raises our curiosity.
Don't worry I'm not going to ask you to light it on fire.

Same metaphor - the backpack - but this time different, more important, contents.
Feel the weight of the bag. Make no mistake, your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. Do you feel the straps cutting into your shoulders? All those negotiations and arguments and secrets and compromises.

He follows the same pattern that he did for the objects; namely, start with with people who occupy a relatively small place in our lives and progressively move to those who are most important to us.
You don't need to carry all that weight. Why don't you set that bag down? Some animals were meant to carry each other, to live symbiotically for a lifetime. Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not those animals. The slower we move, the faster we die. We are not swans. We're sharks.

Humour and a callback to the previous backpack that he did set on fire.

A callback to when he asked us to put on the first backpack and feel the straps. Only now, instead of just feeling the straps, we feel them cutting into our shoulders. The image and sensation is powerful. People weigh more than things.

Nice symmetry in the first sentence: slower / mover; faster / die.

Reinforcement of the theme.

Had this been a speech in real life, it would almost certainly have gone on for longer than three minutes. The ending would likely have been different, perhaps with a repeat of the call to action.

Some final thoughts:

The language in the speech was, for the most part, simple and easy to understand. A speech does not have to be peppered with long, complicated words to be effective. To the contrary, the most effective speeches use simple words enhanced by the occasional sophisticated word as was done here, especially at the end.

For the first half of the speech, Clooney stood still with his hands in his pockets. It is almost never a good idea to stand with your hands in your pockets. Compare it with the second half of the speech when he did use a few gestures. Much better.

Clooney maintains eye contact with the audience throughout the speech. He does tend to focus on the people directly in front of him, though. (Probably for the camera.) Don't forget the people along the sides and back of the room.

He stood behind the lectern at all times. There is nothing inherently wrong with a lectern, but it does create a barrier between you and the audience. It would have been more effective to step out into the open. On the other hand, assuming that the only microphone available was the one fixed to the lectern, and assuming that the microphone was needed to be heard in the room, then it is better for Clooney to have stayed behind the lectern.

It is clear that Clooney (his character, actually) believes deeply in what he is saying. His passion is understated, but it is quite visible.
