INTRODUCE YOURSELF BE A GREAT SPEAKER YOU CAN BE A BILLIONAIRE
Enjoy your speech, have fun and use the opportunity to deliver a speech that enhances your image!
Lets get started • # Firstly, you need to come up with a title and a tag line for your speech. So, while you are contemplating over the points that follow, write down tag lines that come to your mind, for perusal. • # Remember, that this is your opportunity to blow your own trumpet. So, take it and go all out. Discuss your successes and dreams. But, avoid exaggerating and lying, that is just not right.
# This is also a brilliant opportunity to declare your flaws and laugh at yourself. Always remember, if you can laugh at yourself, no one can laugh at you, they will simply laugh with you. More so, if you declare it out in a humorous way, the chances of people teasing you with it, are very slim. So, in a tasteful manner, you can also talk about your failures and flaws. Hopefully, your audience will get a chance to learn from your mistakes. • # Do not live under the misconception that you have all day to go on with the speech. So, add only important and "worth discussing" details in the speech. Avoid taking personal hits at others, that is just cheap.
# Discuss your learning's of life with your audience. This will make your speech interesting. More so, be genuine when you do that. If possible, ask rhetorical questions along the way. That will really help you make your point. You can always answer your rhetorical question in your way. • # Make sure that you come up with a catchy title and tag line for your speech. It will glam it up and give your speech a movie trailer effect
