DESCRIPTION:
In my e-book, I am going to share with you ten tips that I have learned on how to make your speeches memorable to any audience. This e-book covers 10 tips (+ 1 bonus tip) and is a culmination of my experience from over 50 speeches on how to effectively create and deliver a speech that has the maximum impact on its audience. These foundational tips may be familiar to you but each tip is broken down into an explanation, a real life example that I have used when creating and delivering speeches and finally, a checklist that you can use over and over again for any future speeches to help you get the most impact from a speech.
REVIEW:
Loved:
- Logical organization
- Clear instructions are outlined in a straightforward, easy to follow manner
- Short, simple and jam-packed with useful additional tips
- Plenty of examples for easier visualization
- Checklist of questions to help reader improve their speech
Didn’t Love:
- Formatting – the kindle edition includes a mini checklist at the end of each chapter arranged in two column but the column formatting is ugly and difficult to read
Excerpts:
- “The speech title is one of the first things that the audience hears and it may even be the only thing that they remember. If the speech title is used throughout your speech, it will help to make the speech more memorable because the audience can ‘link’ different parts of your speech up with your speech title”
- “Break down the speech into 5 components…[this way] you can go into your speech without having the exact wording in mind and deliver the speech in your own words”
- “Use body language…when I want to transition topics, I pause, walk from one side of the room to the other and then begin my next topic”
