Messi Speech Analysis World Cup Win

As a communication coach, here's some quick observations from Messi's speech after winning the World Cup. 🏆

💬 MESSAGE

Messi mentioned having certain faith in God was a key ingredient for Argentina's success.

As skilled as he is, the Divine Power determines the outcome.

For Muslims, it's a reminder that:

Success: Unshakeable faith in Allah (SWT) + Putting your best effort

Overall:

✔️ Messi's answers were succinct.

⚽ Area to improve would be having a structure. The PREP formula would make the responses more comprehensive.

🗲ENERGY

Even though Messi just won the World Cup, he's not bouncing around the walls screaming at the top of his lungs.

His voice volume was also conversational.

Lesson for us:

You don't have to be loud to be excited.

👀 EYE CONTACT

Whenever he said something sentimental, he looked at it.

For instance, Messi locked eyes with the trophy when he talked about it being the very thing he's always wanted.

It draws attention and adds emphasis to the subject that is made.

Something you can try in your next meeting:

If you're talking about something, see if you can lock eyes on the object or person.

For example, if you want to thank a colleague for a job well done, you can look in their direction.

🇦🇷 Congratulations, Argentina!
