SPEAK FROM THE HEART

Never be a ‘veneer speaker’ whose polish belies their commitment to the subject. Be a person remembered by the audience for sincerity. Speak to, not ‘down’ to your listeners.

Speakers and presenters should aim to embrace the audience, drawing listeners toward them by the power of sincerely uttered words. This will bring them ‘together as one’ in a sharing context.

Listen carefully to speakers and EVALUATE them for strengths and elements of presentation you feel they might do differently and better. The exercise helps you focus on messages and messenger.
