Ann Romney (Source: CNN)

16. Find Someone You Care
About in Your Audience

17. “And then he looks in the audience and he finds me.
He has to find where I am. And– he just– he needs just
that connection” - Ann Romney (Source: CNN)

18. Find someone important in your audience you can
make eye contact with.

19. If you’re giving an important speech, encourage your
friends, family members & supporters to be there so
you can make eye contact with them

20. If your friends and family can’t be there to support you,
find someone in the audience who looks friendly and
make eye contact with them…

21. Before you begin your speech/presentation,
make eye contact with
someone supportive in
your audience…

22. Making eye contact with someone you
know or someone who seems to support
you will help you calm down your nerves
and feel…
more relaxed and
confident

24. Prepare a Power-Phrase in
Advance

25. Prepare a Power Phrase in advance to
knock-out your opponent…

26. During the first Presidential debate, Romney
used the following Power Phrase on
Obama…

27. “You are entitled to your own house and
your own plane, but not your own facts”
- Romney

28. Romney had no-doubt coined the impressive
line before the debate and was just waiting
for the right opportunity to use it

29. Thus, even though the line was coined
before the debate, it sounded like an
impressive and spontaneous remark

30. If you know you’re going to be debating,
prepare your Power
Phrase in advance…

31. If you’ve prepared something in advance,
you will feel more
confident and relaxed
heading into your
debate…
