Delivering your Message

Editor's Notes

  1. You get their attention when your message is relevant to them. They are asking—why should I listen—what’s in it for me?
  2. Perhaps the most important physical act onstage is making eye contact. Find five or six friendly-looking people in different parts of the audience and look them in the eye as you speak.
