How did Guy Yariv's career begin and what were the turning points that led him to establish the public speaking school? An interview from the series of podcasts by Itai Rosengarg, an expert in career development and himself a graduate of the school and a lecturer on his behalf. In the podcasts, I talk to people...
It is a bit unfair to compare Tzipi Livni to Boji Herzog in the field of public speaking. Because although Herzog is a shrewd politician in 1-on-1, he is probably one of the least successful speakers who have headed a party in recent years (Moshe Kahlon competes for the title). Livni...
Guy Yariv is interviewed on Radio Kol Ramah

The "Bait & Switch" exercise (in Hebrew (temptation and exchange)) is an exercise in which you present something very...
Interview following the speech in Congress
There was a great article about us last week. Suddenly Channel 2 explains in its most prestigious program what fear of crowds is and how many suffer from it, and most importantly - it is possible to beat fear of crowds. The article follows people (two of them our students) who suffer from fear of crowds and...
Netanyahu's speech to Congress tomorrow is the most important speech of his career - in part because if he fails in it it will be the end of his career. This speech is a gamble on the whole pot, so Netanyahu must be at his best. And he probably knows it.`…
An interview on the 'Main Game' program on the Knesset channel and two useful tips on performing in front of an audience that disagrees with you. Almost 60 years ago, Border Police soldiers opened fire on residents of Kfar Qassem near Rosh HaAyin and killed 43 of them, in an incident that left a serious wound in the Arab sector. …
Interview: Did we win or lose the propaganda war? The 'context management' technique and the propaganda of Operation Eitan Cliff So is the Israeli propaganda cup half empty or half full? Has it again failed to convey the message that Hamas is a terrorist organization that uses civilians as cover? Or on the contrary we managed to get countries…
I had two interviews this week on YNET News, and I want to start with the second one (which was not planned in advance), an interview that I wish all my students - including anyone who suffers from fear of crowds - could see. This is the speech that shows that every speaker falters sometimes - a fact...
Although Eric Sharon was known as a fiery square speaker, interestingly he did not really leave behind any rhetorical legacy. In fact, his only speech that most of the public remembers is his roaring 'Who is in favor of eliminating terrorism?!' Eitan silenced Yitzhak Shamir at the Likud conference in 1990. …
Don't see Olmert as someone who was convicted in the district court and sentenced to 6 years in prison. Rather, think of him as someone who was serially acquitted. Remember: since he received a loan of 50,000$ almost 30 years ago without interest and without being asked to pay it back, Olmert managed to convince...
Here is my interview with Orit Lavi-Nashiel about the politicians-who-don't-say-anything phenomenon that spread following the kidnapping of the 3 boys. In addition to the interview itself, I also wanted to give some more in-depth explanations about how it happened that Israeli politicians so often speak in sentences that have no meaning (abroad this...
Like little children who insulted their aunt and now have to ask for forgiveness even though they really don't feel sorrow, our politicians came forward this month one by one to apologize for the nonsense they said: Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Yaalon, these Knesset members and others and more. Apologize in front of an audience...
An analysis of Israeli propaganda in the last war shows how excellent Netanyahu's rhetoric is, and yet how much the demands from it are much higher than what it is able to provide. Because in order to understand why the war felt like a failure to us, but from an explanatory point of view it was a success, you have to understand how difficult it is...
In the years to come, the great storm of December 2013 will surely be remembered because of the snow, the 'siege' on Jerusalem and Netanyahu's "knock on every door twice" speech. His performance was so out of place it was embarrassing, and when it happens to a TV magician like Bibi, there's...
From an interview on Channel 10: Naama Kasri: "Many of us know the situation: entering a new place surrounded by people you do not know guns, and if you also have to give a speech then at all, there are those who need to be hospitalized!… Does this happen to everyone?" Guy Yariv: “No. It happens a little more…

Knesset Channel: Rabbi Ovadia's Rhetoric After the death of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, many secularists (as well as quite a few ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazis) found it difficult to explain the secret of the media success of 'Hamaran'. Guy Yariv, a secularist who often works with the ultra-Orthodox sector, translates for the general public...
