Adequate, Good, or Great – What Do You Want to Be?

Last night I asked the question of club members if they wanted to be adequate, good or great speakers. 99% indicated they wanted to be great speakers.  One of the tips I shared with them is that if you want to be a great speaker, you need to listen to and watch other great speakers and try to incorporate what they do into your presentations.

Here’s a list of some of the speakers I have listened to and watched over the years which have helped me with my delivery.  Many of these you can find in the library, on YouTube or through Google.com

  1. It would really be super if each blogger would “sign” their posts so we can see who wrote what. Just add your name at the end of your post. – BIll Collier
