Deep Canvassing

For me deep canvassing is one of the most important tools that you can use in speech writing. Deep canvassing is when you try to create a connection and share values with each other and bring those people to your side. This technique is the opposite to what many people use when they try to convince people because usually they try to state what they believe.

How to use deep canvassing.

Firstly you just chat to the person you are trying to convince. Once you've got them to chat to you, you search for any paralells with their story and your own life and once you've found those paralells you can tell them that you have experienced that.  The whole point we do this is so that you can have a meaningful human connection and use shared values to connect with people.

If you want to make a stronger connection, or you want to find paralells with the other person you can always ask questions like;  How did you feel about that ? or  Tell me more about that. The reason you would use these questions are because they make the  other person talk more about themselves, in other words they allow you to dig deep into their story.

I hope this helped you in your speech writing.
