Last week, in part II, I shared fifteen specific take-aways from the Lady and the Champs speakers conference (and the EDGE members-only summit, which was held the day before). Today, I will share more specific take-aways from the conference:
- You don’t give a speech, you deliver a speech.
- Have interesting conversations with successful people
- Record every speech you deliver
- The most valuable tool is the one you use
- Sources of humor
- Tag-on lines
- Character dialog
- Our failures
- You’re always too something for someone.
Be too good for it to matter - Keep your titles short; use subtitles to explain
- Give away a sample of your expertise
- How to begin:
- Develop a speech
- Deliver it to people
- Focus on one topic
- Adapt it to different audiences
- Have a combination of information and opinion
- Keep the past in the past (tense-wise)
- Use the “time, location, description” structure
Will there be a part IV? Check back next week.
Patricia Fripp, Craig Valentine, Ed Tate and Darren Lacroix put on an inexpensive yet incredibly valuable speaking conference. I look forward to attending Lady and the Champs again, next year.
