Do you have all the virtues that a keynote,funny, inspirational or motivational speaker possess? How confident are you? Anyway, aside from developing these virtues, you have to learn how to draft a speech. Last minute preparation works for some but not for most, and it’s okay. If you’re more of the latter, here are some preparation tips for your first speaking engagement. Preparation doesn’t and mustn’t limit the scope of your speech, rather just a way to organize your thoughts to make it poignant. http://www.jonpetz.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerful-motivational-speech/ http://www.jonpetz.com/

A SPEECH.

4. HERE ARE SOME PREPARATION TIPS FOR
YOUR FIRST SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT:

5. IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCE

6. DO YOU LOVE SURPRISES? WELL, CAN YOU
TOLERATE IT ESPECIALLY ON YOUR DEBUT
SPEAKING EVENT?
I F Y O U ’ R E C O N F I D E N T E N O U G H A B O U T Y O U R S K I L L S , T H E N
YOU CAN S K I P THI S ONE .

7. FOR THOSE WHO DON’T, THEN TAKE TIME TO KNOW
YOUR AUDIENCE –
*AGE BRACKET,
*GENDER,
*PROFESSION
AND
*POSITION
MAKE SURE TO TAILOR YOUR TONE OF VOICE
DEPENDING ON YOUR AUDIENCE.

8. KNOW YOUR GOAL

9. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR
SPEECH?
I S IT TO INSPIRE, MOTIVATE, HEAL , OR ENTERTAIN?

10. HAVING A TARGET GOAL IS THE BEST WAY TO
ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS AND MAKE YOUR SPEECH
SMOOTH FLOWING.
THOUGH YOU CAN MAKE IT FREE FLOWING AND
NATURAL-SOUNDING, BUT IF YOU’RE NOT YET
EXPERIENCED, YOU MIGHT END UP LOSING YOUR
THOUGHTS ALONG THE WAY.

11. BE HONEST

12. SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, EVEN IF
IT MIGHT HURT THEIR FEELINGS.

C R OWD TO P R O V I D E A N I N S P I R AT I O N , A N D E N L I G H T E NME N T.

13. BE AWARE OF THE PREVAILING SITUATION;
OR IF THERE’S ANY PROBLEM
THAT NEEDS TO BE SETTLED,
BASE YOUR SPEECH THERE.
BE CREATIVE IN GIVING ADVICE.
THOUGH YOU HAVE TO APPEAR PERSUASIVE
AND PUSHY, STILL THINK OF NICE WAY
TO DELIVER IT WITHOUT THEM
NOTICING IT.

14. SHARE YOUR HEART

15. IT’S NEVER EASY TO ESTABLISH
CONNECTION.
Y O U H AV E TO M A K E Y O U R A U D I E N C E F E E L Y O U R S I N C E R I T Y, A N D T H AT
Y O U C A N U N D E R S TA N D T H E I R S I T U AT I O N (WH AT E V E R I T M AY B E ) .

16. TO DO THIS, YOU CAN SHARE
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT THEY
CAN RELATE TO. IF YOU CAN
SUCCESSFULLY MAKE THEM
FEEL YOUR HEART,
THE NEXT THING YOU’LL KNOW IS
THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
TOUCHED THEIRS.

17. PREPARATION
DOESN’T AND MUSTN’T
LIMIT THE SCOPE OF
YOUR SPEECH,
RATHER JUST A WAY
TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS TO
MAKE IT POIGNANT.
