================================
Be Original.
If you are using someone else's material when you speak, you can
do better. There are at least a couple of reasons for not
writing your own speech...
First, you're scared. You may think your own interpretation of
information is not strong enough.
Second, you're lazy. "Borrowing" is so much easier it seems. But
the truth is this: in the time it took to find something that fits
you, you could have created a speech from scratch.
Here's how easy it is to be original...
1) Name your topic. Be specific.
2) Write down what you currently know about it.
3) Do some online research to fill in knowledge gaps on the topic.
4) Put the ideas in a logical sequence.
5) Make a Point from each idea.
6) Scratch off any Point that isn't critical to the topic.
7) Add supporting thoughts and material (humor, stats,
illustrations) to the points.
8) Add an opening that relates to the topic.
9) Create a call to action for the conclusion that relates to the
topic.
When YOU create the speech there's much more confidence because
you're sharing what you know, not reciting another's ideas.
Being original doesn't mean you don't have outside content. It
means communicating the content from all your sources in a personal
way.
Have a GREAT day!
