A speaker that I greatly admire is not only a great presenter, but primarily, he is a great writer. Victor Villasenor not only writes, but travels around the country giving speeches and presenting in different venues. I admire him as a speaker because he is very inspiring and a great story teller. I believe that his persuasion style comes primarily from pathos, but logos also. His stories and words are very powerful and pull on a persons heart strings. When one listens to him, an emotional connection is felt, and you feel compassion as well as feel what he or his characters felt. Through this emotional connection, he reminds his audience what is actually important in life and how important it is to be open and treat each other in a loving manner. Though emotions are very important, his speeches also are very simple and logical; i.e. he uses the power of logos also.
An aspect of my personality that makes me persuasive is that I am very logical. I can think of solutions and persuade people in regards to them because I can easily refute any comment, and I have an answer/ solution for a lot of things. Moreover, I am very aware of my surroundings, of needs, and etc so I have the ability to read situations and now what is needed.
