As a professional speaker, there may come times when you don’t feel completely confident with the topic you’re speaking on. The post Selling Hope (and Other Intangible Topics) with Libby Gill appeared first on Jane Atkinson. As a professional speaker, there may come times when you don’t feel completely confident with the topic you’re speaking on. Libby answers questions like: Why is hope such an important topic right now?

When you do a long presentation with lots of topics, you can help your audience understand and remember more by explicitly displaying the presentation’s organization. A visual list of topics helps them relate each topic to the wholeness of the presentation.

At a 12-step recovery meeting, a newcomer apologized for simply being an alcoholic. "I am a dino, I know," he said. Most of the others in the room were there primarily for opioids and crack. Alcohol had been a side dish. Drugs steal the show because they can be fatal - instantly.

I've heard from my clients who are engineers, finance people, doctors and scientists that their topics are dry and boring, that their audiences want tons of data, and that there's no way to make their presentations interesting. A topic is dry when the writer or speaker makes it that way. I sat with a client last week who was going to be giving a presentation on cloud computing, a technical topic for an audience who was going to be new to the concept. Download audio here.

Before you write each blog post, you should clearly decide on your topic, which segment of your target market the post will appeal to and what problem or opportunity you will address. And your post should stay focused on the topic, segment and issue. That might mean some prospects will not be interested in particular posts; however, if you try to be everything to everybody in each post, you will end up being nothing to nobody.

To carefully research a topic takes a natural curiosity and interest for the topic itself. Using a variety of resources enables you to see the topic from different viewpoints. My next speech, about the topic of summer wines, means I need to seek out a number of sources to have a working knowledge of what how these wines differ from others and what will make them interesting to my audience. What does thorough speech preparation mean?

How to construct a logically-sequenced and effective short topical comedy routine for public speaking In my previous post I wrote about adding topical jokes to a speech or presentation. and your audience will find it easier to follow if your topical gags and observations flow in a logical sequence rather than just delivering jokes in a scattergun fashion. The routine was introduced after the part where I spoke about writing topical comedy for radio.
