ELEMENTS OF A GREAT SPEECH – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
1. Speak to their hearts – a great speech should be personal.
2. Make it real – your listeners feel like they are living the moment with you.
3. Make it memorable – your listeners will remember your main points far into the future, even if they forget your name or speech title.
4. Make it valuable – give your listeners some useful information they can take away with them.
5. Interact with your audience – make your speech relevant through use of relevant humour, personal stories. Use lots of eye-contact.
6. Make it fun – if you’re having a good time, so will your audience.
7. Make it visual – use quotes, stories, anecdotes and word pictures so your listeners can see it with their mind’s eye as well as hear it.
8. Make it passionate – if you really care about your topic, so will your audience.
9. Be enthusiastic – your enthusiasm is infectious.
10. Be clear, concise and brief – keep your words simple and to the point.
