The power of being emotionally open:

As humans, we have always had a unique capacity to connect with each other in non-verbal ways. Rather than getting lost in how your voice sounds or your eyes move, we can intuit whether you are authentic and trustworthy and most importantly, whether you are open to sharing yourself. We all have a capacity to open up and emotionally connect to someone else and this is the best part of being human. But our way of relating to people in the conversation has been changing over time. As technology advances and more and more information is at our fingertips, it has become increasingly easy for people to disconnect from each other, especially in front of others. And this is a big concern for people in business. Connecting with others is not something that comes naturally, and it requires practice.

Emotional alignment:

What is emotional alignment? It’s the physical, mental, and emotional stimulation that creates your alpha state of mind. If you’re not in your alpha state of mind, you won’t be able to emotionally connect with people. And it’s exactly when you’re in your alpha state that you’re most likely to find what you’re looking for. For example, my brother would be “in his alpha state” when he was enjoying a round of golf, a hangover, or a beer. Everyone I know experiences this same physical and mental stimulation and activation. The difference is how we interpret it and use it. Emotional alignment creates a complete mental picture of the person, or group of people, who are speaking to us. And this makes them emotionally connect with us.

As with anything, the key is to find what works for you and what feels true to you. You can certainly create a speech that conveys much more power than you’re able to convey. It might be emotionally safe to do so, but it’s not emotionally safe to do it if it’s not honest with who you are.
