Sharing Your Message
To truly connect with your audience and create impact, you have to be prepared to open up and share your message authentically.
This means being vulnerable, relatable, and transparent in order to move people into action.
What’s your story? What experiences have shaped who you are today? How can you use your unique perspective to inspire others?
This may seem like a tall order, but we have a few tips to help you engage and enthrall during your next speaking engagement.
5 keys to POWERFUL Speaking
1. Solidify Your Message
Tell the audience in 8 seconds what you came to do. Make a promise and keep it!
2. Build Rapport
Earning the audience’s attention is not about firing off your list of accomplishments, degrees, or accolades, but about relating to them.
Speak to the times, find common ground and your audience will be hooked!
3. Be Authentic
Your audience wants to hear from a real person with real stories, experiences, problems, and triumphs!
So, be vulnerable and share your victories.
4. Say Something New
Include little-known facts to enhance your message and repeat keywords or phrases to make the nuggets from your speech stick with them forever!
5. Inspire
Share the journey with your audience. Don’t just talk at them with words like “you”, but go the distance and acknowledge that “we” are in this together.
