Solving the Maze
This month's blog post discusses the power of patterns in our lives, and how our awareness of them can lead to better speaking.
Thanks to all of you have shown interest in my workshops. If you had been meaning to come experience my Executive Communincations Skills: One-Day Blitz! you have one more chance to do so this year. More info here.
Tips you can use!
Don't memorize. . .
Unless your speech is under 60 seconds or you have at least two weeks to commit those words to memory. You'd be better off spending your precious time refining and right-sizing your message. Take your notes and use them.
Put some oomph into it!
It's OK to let your enthusiasm show. Really. If you are captivated by a project or just love sharing good reports from your team, let your listeners know. Don't equate "business-like" and "serious" with "flat" and "boring." No one is going to kick you out of a meeting or off the stage for making your statements with energy and feeling.
Take care of yourself
You know the drill, so do it! Get plenty of sleep. Exercise daily. Eat a balanced diet. Hydrate. Get a flu shot. Healthier is happier -- and more productive.
