New Year’s Speaking Resolutions
Filed under: Speaking, Public Speaking Skills — TJ Walker @ 7:51 am ET

If you are resolving to improve your health in the New Year by losing 5-10 pounds, why not resolve to improve the health of your presentations?

Here is a speaker’s New Year’s Resolution:

1. I resolve to focus on the needs and interests of my audience, rather than myself.
2. I resolve to not bore.
3. I resolve not to “wing it.”
4. I resolve to rehearse.
5. I resolve to treat every audience as important.
6. I resolve to come up with fresh stories and material for my audiences.
7. I resolve to try to make each speech a little better than the last one.
8. I resolve to communicate 3 important messages with each audience.
9. I resolve not to associate with anyone who reads bullet points off of a PowerPoint slide.
10. I resolve to watch and learn from other great speakers.
