Policy Speech Eye contact
Speak to your ENTIRE audience Appropriate gesticulation
What do you do with your fidgety hands? Communicate with hands but do not distract
Strong stance & good posture NO dancing, swaying, or pacing
Speed Slow down and give yourself time to think
Enunciation Speak clearly
Proper Pitch Don’t be a drone! Make it sound interesting by varying your pitch and
using emphasis when appropriate Positive Tone
Always be proactive in tone “Canada looks forward to…”

Caucus Strategy
What is the greatest contribution I can make to the work of the committee?
Ways to maximize not only your potential, but also the potential of others
Impress > Cooperate > Create > Persuade
![Page 14: 5. NMUN Negotiating Strategy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55ba25aebb61eb9b038b4627/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Putting a face to a name (of a country) (even before committee starts, in elevators for example)
Staking your claim early as a large influence in committee, first impression syndrome
1. Impress
![Page 16: 5. NMUN Negotiating Strategy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55ba25aebb61eb9b038b4627/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Cooperate
While remaining true to your policy, incorporating and building upon the ideas of others
Making yourself readily available, not waiting on others
Making a solid effort to include everyone, even the difficult, introverted, and refuters
![Page 17: 5. NMUN Negotiating Strategy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55ba25aebb61eb9b038b4627/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

3. Create: Resolution/Report
Diplomatically representing national policy through the product
The good, the bad, and the ugly The yours, the theirs, and the who’s?
![Page 19: 5. NMUN Negotiating Strategy](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55ba25aebb61eb9b038b4627/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. Persuade
Honorably convincing others of your intellectual superiority, as a person and an expert
Not arguing, but diplomatically negotiating the superiority of your policy position
Put your seed in their head, watch it grow as they maintain it as theirs
Avoiding the fear of learning something from someone else
Mobius strip, A or B vs. C = A+B… more than just compromise

Other Factors: Personality
IS EVERYTHING Strengths and Weaknesses, acuteness of
self-perception This dictates your strategy, you don’t get
to choose, only discover Sizing up others, understanding types,
and capitalizing Divide and conquer

Other Factors: Adaptability
Network of productivity, birds-eye-view and Prioritizing
Emergency Protocol, effective ‘abort’ phrases, excusing yourself, should of skipped it syndrome

Other Factors: Administration
Mutual respect, avoid arguments and groveling,
Avoidance of unnecessary questions and corrections
How would they see you, group you, or classify your type
