Ch 2 How to select your topic
10 Greatest joy I ever experienced? Greatest lesson I ever learned? What is my life’s mission and how can I enlist others in my crusade
As build talk keep in mind listener is thinking “what’s in it for me?”
13 captivate audience--make an enemy of status quo, see promise of tomorrow just out of reach but worth the effort
14 people want to make a difference
pick a single unifying message to deliver figure out amazing experiences that add emotional depth to the message
Ch 3 How to craft your catchphrase
19 catchphrase--3 words are best
21 two part catchphrase 2nd part positive sharply contrasting 1st part
Ch 4 how to be introduced
25 tell the audience what is in it for them
a great audience with a taste of the benefit they are going to get but does not go so far as to give away the best part
26 we respect authority but we trust people who are similar to us. We are inspired to rise to action by people like us
27 For introduction provide whomever will introduce you 1 What’s in it for the audience 2 Maximize topical relevance 3 minimize biographical info
Review info with MC--have them practice
Ch 5 How to open your talk
30 first 10-20 seconds most important of the speech--peak of audiences engagement level Hook them fast. Show them the benefits by giving them a reason to pay attention
**Most consistently successful opening--personal story
- Really be personal--make others the hero
- make sure story is directly relevant to core message
- make sure story is emotional, sensory, rich in dialogue--the story should be so specific the audience should be able to relive it with you
Shocking statement other opening--usually rely on statistics
Asking a powerful question
- why and how q’s
- Why q’s most enticing --once we know why things happen we want to know how to make good things happen and how to prevent bad things from happening
- to successfully string multiple q’s together they must all have the same answer
36 Pre openings and post openings--match energy level of the room
too much or too little tension preopening
too much joke too little use silence
37Opening call-back --talk about prior speakers, current events--should have an impromptu it should feel special
38 Post opening explicit promise of the benefits that your audience will get and how long it will take to get them
39 a great post opening--provide audience with visual metaphor of structure of speech “you will walk out of here with the the A’s of happiness in your toolbox”
3 is the stickiest number
40 Do not open with a joke
Ch 6 How to build your speech body and transitions
45 make a statement or ask a question that gets the audience thinking about themselves while making them hungry for more
Open shares the what
body the why and how
46 body 3 sections--helps you to remember where you are and where you are going
Narrative structures
- situation-complication-resolution--changes perspective and calls them to action
part 1 describe situation in neutral way--just give info
part 2 hook them -tell why things are flawed
part 3 offer solution that neatly and completely solves problem
2. chronological--
3. Idea-concepts- top ten style list
48 right brain--stories, activities
left brain--facts, strategies, tips, techniques
50 ask frequent q’s during each section so audience reflects on their own lives
51 smooth transition--employ a tease
Ch 7 How to conclude your talk
54 create sense of urgency--shorten sentences, add passion to your voice,
all parts of conclusion must relate to central theme
goal must be to reinforce the benefit to the audience--give the audience the next step they can take today to get moving in the right direction
can use fear card--”consequences of failure are...”
