You can be looking for Speaking Tips, Speaker Tips or Tips for Speakers. But before you dive into these categories, you must first discuss, you must first establish the Who, What, Where, When and Why, of speaking itself.
In today’s PR, Branding, Publicity and Marketing blog, I feel it’s important to dissect the “why” of speaking. Why do we want to speak? Why do we stand up in front of an audience, in person or over the airwaves, and speak?
Speaking is the act of being seen, heard, understood, recognized, loved. …We speak to convey a message, a concept. To elevate a mood, deepen a way of thinking. Create social interaction. To Teach. To Un-teach. To conduct thought patterns across space and electrical energy. To coerce. Ease stress or a tattered soul. Prove a point. Settle a score. To establish territory.
There is another “why” to consider…to speak to promote yourself, in thought, deed and wallet. To enhance you being regarded as an expert, an authority. A celebrity in your back yard. A prophet in your hometown.
