Did you know that people remember only a small portion of what they hear? <br /><br />Adding pictures, stories, take-home outlines, and interaction with the speaker goes a long way toward making a speech memorable.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Someone close to me, a normally confident individual, almost faints when he has to get up in front of a crowd.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Speaking generates interest in your book, and writing generates interest in your speaking. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I liked to start with an anecdote and want around to the front of the podium with no notes to relate it. It gave me a start before I had to retreat to me notecards.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-37681965205902953012010-11-12T08:05:06.177-05:002010-11-12T08:05:06.177-05:00Public speaking is feared more than pain?

I don't know who started that whole thing, writers should write, and speakers should speak if you ask me, but anyway... if possible I let my husband introduce me, that 'll make me confident :)<br />Writing ideas: at a clean desk! No clutter, no distractions! Works for me. Well, yard work helps too!<br />Have a great weekend.Marja Verschoor-Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475263793581289701noreply@blogger.com
