More Thoughts and Hints about Speaking Out on things you believe in. Your own reasoning process is capable of finding the truth or solution.
If you find it best to first write what you are thinking, then think about do it more than once until you think you have saturated your thoughts on the matter. Some people may rather do outlines instead writing full pages. Some may like to take the written page with them with the main points highlightened. You can use your descretion to pause and read something from the page to yourself but refrain from reading from the page unless it is a quotation.
Keep a Reserve Power List Ready
Keep a long list of what you want to say. It is better to have more than less ready to tell your audience. Highlight the priority messages so you will be able to recall the important parts and not be frustrated after the fact that you left something out that you wanted to say.
Creative Thinking - what items on the list can you keep ready to magnify depending on the reaction of your audience.
Be ready to modify, re-arrange or reversed the items on your list. By a reaction from the audience, you can hitch-hike on an idea that seems to grab the audience by repetition of the message in a different way. It is best, however, to suspend your judgement of an audience unless, you think is is necessary to do it for the sake of getting your message across.
Take inventory knowing your mind is much faster than the spoken word. Every few minutes, try to sum up the last few statements you made in your mind so you can make the whole speech jell the way you want it to.
Be thyself - The main point shoud be living inside you no matter what.
Don't let the audience take you away from your main point and be ready to bring it out strongly if the audience seems to be opent to it. Present your thoughts in a way that prompts solutions more than questions. However, know that questions in your speech pattern invokes others to answer the questions in their mind. With questions you can also lead your audience to the conclusions you want them to make. Sometimes little questions leading up to a main question, are better than reciting your direct thoughts about the matter.
Convincing yourself on the go.
You do not need to be 100 percent sure about our topic all the time. In the progress of your talk, you can demonstrate a certain humility that comes with this internal questioning of yourself. This may even support you in leading yourself and the audience to the conclusions you want to put forth. It will demonstrate honesty and a cooperative spirit. However, know that some of our worst problems in the world were a result of good people doing things in bad ways.
We will explore more hints and tips in our following posts.
