WE’RE IN THE ELECTION SEASON!
Candidates are debating and delivering speeches.
Speakers can learn from comments like these:
• “He’s Authentic.”
• “She’s scripted, and not Authentic.”
• “That candidate is connecting with me.”
• “I have no confidence in them.”
• “I trust them.”
• “They don’t seem natural when giving their stump speeches.”
Those perceived as Authentic make a better connection with potential voters than those regarded as not being genuine. If we think they are faking their Authenticity, we don’t trust them. This holds true for speakers, also. If the audience doesn’t believe and trust you, they’ll tune you out.

The only constant is Change. I’ll continue to practice Kaizen, the Japanese word that means continuous improvement.
The greatest investment you can ever make is in yourself. My mantra is: “Speaking Opportunities are Business, Career, and Leadership Opportunities!” The research shows people who take and make those “Speaking Opportunities,” grow their businesses, advance their Careers, and increase their Leadership Opportunities.
The return on the investment of hiring a coach can be phenomenal!
Q&A comes before your Closing. The Closing is the Closing (That’s why it’s called the Closing!)
Here’s why: The last thing you say and do will be the first thing the audience will remember.
The first time you take a video of yourself can be tough. For some, really tough. We probably look and sound differently than we expected. Get over it! – Get with it! – Get better!
