Public Speaking: Get Your Message Across: From Lady & The Champs
Mar/100
In Las Vegas for our thrid annual Lady and The Champs Public Speaking Conference. We have 150 enthusiast participants, an action packed, content-rich program.
Ed Tate, Darren LaCroix, Craig Valentine, Patricia Fripp. We are the faculty of World Champions Edge.
Attendees will learn a variety of areas of speaking. Here is a taste. The other 7 techniques will follow!
Whenever you open your mouth, whether your audience is one person or a thousand, you usually want to get a specific message across. Maybe you want your opinions heard at meetings, or you're giving a formal talk. Or perhaps you're in a position to advise your sales team or CEO on an important presentation. Anyone who sets out to present, persuade, and propel with the spoken word faces 10 major pitfalls. Here are the first three!
1. UNCLEAR THINKING. If you can't describe what you are talking about in one sentence, you may be guilty of fuzzy focus or trying to cover too many topics. Your listeners won't understand either.
2. NO CLEAR STRUCTURE. Make it easy for your audience to follow what you are saying. They'll remember it better–and you will too as you present your information and ideas. If you waffle, ramble, or never get to the point, you lose your listeners.
3. NO MEMORABLE STORIES. People rarely remember your exact words. Instead, they remember the mental images that your words inspire. Support your key points with vivid, relevant stories. Help them "make the movie" in their heads by using memorable characters, exciting situations, dialogue, suspense, and humor.
