PREPARATION
Give yourself a set amount of time
to “prepare”.
We get stuck in the preparation
phase when we want to be perfect.
The real work is yet to come.

HEART ENGAGEMENT
Practice your speech out loud and
put it through your “Heart Meter”.
If what you hear feels authentic to
the purpose of the speech, keep it.
If not, rewrite it or delete it.

GOOSEBUMP FACTOR
The key parts of your inspirational
story would give you goosebumps.
If not, then you probably over-
thought it, and you need to
simplify it.

FULL ENGAGEMENT
The real work is a dance between
delivering and refining the speech.
Fully engaging your whole body
with your mind connects you with
the true substance of your speech.

AN INSTRUMENT
You are an instrument, guiding
through your inspirational speech.
If the Source of your message
were there with you, what would
the Source want you to share?
