Editor's Notes
- The biggest conception I think I have run into in the hundreds of people I talk to about giving speeches is buried in this common remark: “Oh, I’m just not good at it.” People say that about lots of things they don’t do well. But in truth we’re learning about almost everything that excellence is cultivated. Tiger Woods wasn’t born great -- he just starting putting when he was 3 years old. Michael Jordan is fond of enumerating the number of I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
- You might think a speech is a very specific thing, done by the president for the state of the union and by ministers for their congregation. If so you might think it’s a rare event in your own life, maybe just the toast if you’re the best man, that kind of thing. But a speech in my mind is anytime you need to think through what you’re going to say for more than one person. using that definition, what are some examples in the year ahead for you?
- Before we talk about how to do a great speech, let’s agree on what it is. Kind of a nebulous word. What would be make a formal set of remarks great in your mind?
- So if a great speech is a pre-thought-out set of remarks to more than one person with a goal of being memorable and impactful... how do we do it?
- And the verb isn’t “tell” ... that doesn’t suggest a goal for the speech.
- Habits: say hi, dissipate the nervousness. Practice your first three sentences over and over again. Have a glass of water in one hand. Rewrite your notes on your most difficult slides - just the act of the writing helps cement your thoughts. Go for a run, a swim, a workout - -get the physical anxiety released. Don’t eat big before a big speech!
- wash, rinse... repeat.
