		<description>I&#039;m ahead of you; I have my top 5 prospects on that list and the wheels are already in motion with some of the same strategies you mention. I don&#039;t have it step by step, but their names are on my white board. However, I think I will take it a step further and include the steps so I can check them off when accomplished.

 

I have to tell you, I am very excited about 2012; we are going to make it happen.

 

Merry Christmas to you and your family; I know this is an extra busy weekend for you guys. </description>

		<description>Nice post and good tips! I love public speaking and have mastered telling my own story and explaining to others the importance of their story and how to find the message in it. The most important thing for me personally is that I simply be &#039;me&#039;. I don&#039;t fret over a word or sentence misspoken (it happens) or wardrobe flaws (they happen!) I just stay focused on who I am and what my purpose is. I&#039;ve been told that I seem very real when speaking, very friendly and very engaging and yet I am not &#039;trying&#039; to be so, I am just being me. I have seen some speakers with excellent content to share, but it was very obvious they were outside of their own comfort zone and did not portray their authentic selves. Embrace you and share you, it&#039;s the best you have! </description>

		<description>@FrankKenny  I get the impression @Penny wasn&#039;t referring to people like you who know what they&#039;re talking about, and walk in to the audience to be closer to them and to interact  with them.  I gathered it was more about people who have lost their train of thought, then pace because they can&#039;t get it back together. </description>

		<description>I think a tip to add is to be aware of your physical presence. I have seen speakers who seem to get lost in thought and start pacing up and down the platform turning a speech into a tennis match with heads moving to and fro.  What distracting physical habits tend to do are detract from the content of the speech and draw attention away from your words to your body.  </description>

		<description>Nicely done Nancy,

 

I hope that brendon burchard and Brian Tracy stop by and add to the discussion. Nice job on inviting them. I happen to be listening to one of my audio programs by Brain Tracy currently. I have also purchased and read Brendon&#039;s book. It is groundbreaking.

 

What I have learned, having spent the last year as a full time public speaker and trainer, is that adults aren&#039;t simply looking to be lectured to. They want to participate and add to the conversation.The speaker must deliver on the learning promise and audiences contribution is a critical part of the process.

 

I love Brian&#039;s outline, and I follow it, but somewhere in there needs to be breaks in the presentation for the audience to participate.

 

Do you agree?

 

Frank</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nicely done Nancy,</p>
<p>I hope that brendon burchard and Brian Tracy stop by and add to the discussion. Nice job on inviting them. I happen to be listening to one of my audio programs by Brain Tracy currently. I have also purchased and read Brendon&#8217;s book. It is groundbreaking.</p>
<p>What I have learned, having spent the last year as a full time public speaker and trainer, is that adults aren&#8217;t simply looking to be lectured to. They want to participate and add to the conversation.The speaker must deliver on the learning promise and audiences contribution is a critical part of the process.</p>
<p>I love Brian&#8217;s outline, and I follow it, but somewhere in there needs to be breaks in the presentation for the audience to participate.</p>
<p>Do you agree?</p>
<p>Frank</p>

		<description>@FollowtheLawyer I love your comment Jay...very wise. Yes, sometimes extemporaneous speaking can definitely backfire, and can even look sloppy and unprepared, which will irritate an audience.  Thanks for stopping by.

		<description>Nicely done, Nancy.

 

Effective public speaking is an essential skill for anyone intent on building a thought leadership reputation. Too often, would-be presenters put more effort into obtaining speaking opportunities than on the content and performance of their speech. Extemporaneous speaking is difficult and risky, and even &quot;natural&quot; presenters shouldn&#039;t fall back on that.  Preparation and rehearsal not only elevate the quality and impact of speeches, but also generate the word of mouth that leads to additional speaking invitations.</description>

		<description>@bdorman264 Perfect suggestions Bill!  Thank you for adding them. I can still remember the 2-week sales training I had in my 1st job out of college with L.M. Berry, now The Berry Company.  We were video- and audio-taped. When mine was played back, we all cracked up because I broke world records for fast talking. It was very telling. It&#039;s a humbling, but a very important exercise to go through. Thanks again for stopping by.</description>

		<description>I love public speaking but know I could be much better. I feel I have a leg up because I can do it with relative ease, but that doesn&#039;t necessarily make me &#039;good&#039; at it. I have seen recorded sessions of me speaking and it can be interesting.......you didn&#039;t just stick your finger in your nose, did you?..............:). 

 

I can speak on just about anything. I seem to get pretty animated when talking about the Guardian ad Litem program I volunteer for, which is good for me.

 

The suggestions I would recommend are: slow down, take a deep breath, be prepared and look your audience in the eye. And a BTW, don&#039;t fidget with your hands or rock back and forth and then just talk like you are talking to a friend.</description>

		<description>Yes, a privilege is absolutely right Randy! Everyone reading this post would be wise to take your advice about what kind of questions should be asking, and the most important point about having the client&#039;s best interest at heart.  Those are words that are often spoken because they sound good, but not always believed and practiced.  </description>
