• Claiming and Owning Your Position as a Speaker

 

 Key Takeaways:

• Successful speakers and professionals must recognize the difference between the inherent value they bring and the worth their offerings hold in the eyes of their audience. 

• Contrary to the belief that spontaneity is key, seasoned speakers emphasize the importance of scripting and meticulous rehearsal. 

• While maintaining a strong core message is crucial, the most effective speakers know how to strategically customize their content to resonate with each unique audience; and this balance ensures that audiences receive both the speaker's expertise and the tailored insights they crave.

• By tapping into the wisdom and experiences of those who have walked the path before them, they can accelerate their own growth and development.

• Confident speakers understand the value they bring to the stage and are unapologetic about owning their position. 

 

“Every speech is a performance. Whether you're a motivational speaker, a humorist, a sales trainer, it doesn't matter, because when you look at it as a performance, you start to put those key elements into that delivery that creates that emotional connection.” 

-Patrick Henry
