DO AS I DO …

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS often encourage audience members to follow particular courses of action. Don’t spruik if not prepared to do those things advocated for others. Avoid hypocrisy.

During or after presenting, aim to engage audience by INVITING QUESTIONS and responses relating to the topic. Allowing time for audience engagement helps reinforce the message that has been shared.

STORY-TELLING is a great entertaining option. Ask the audience to go into their mind’s eye, picture and visualise the story you are telling, so they too own what you are sharing. It is engaging.

IT’S YOUR MESSAGE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR

I think it important that presenters are about ENHANCING THEIR TOPIC and selling their message, rather than big-noting themselves. Self aggrandisement should not be a prime aim.

We need to work on building the speech and speaking skills of YOUNG PEOPLE. World-wide, there is an atrocious lack of speech confidence and accuracy shown by our next generation of adults.

As a leader consider SPEAKING AND LISTENING development for those working with you. Their gaining in confidence will impress and value add through perceptions held by those engaging your organisation.
