In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Patrick Henry discuss:
Differentiating Value and Worth in Customer Experiences
Perfecting Delivery Through Scripting and Rehearsal Techniques
Balancing Core Messages with Customized Content for Audiences
Embracing Mentorship and Continuous Learning Opportunities
Claiming and Owning Your Position as a Speaker
Key Takeaways:
Successful speakers and professionals must recognize the difference between the inherent value they bring and the worth their offerings hold in the eyes of their audience.
Contrary to the belief that spontaneity is key, seasoned speakers emphasize the importance of scripting and meticulous rehearsal.
While maintaining a strong core message is crucial, the most effective speakers know how to strategically customize their content to resonate with each unique audience; and this balance ensures that audiences receive both the speaker's expertise and the tailored insights they crave.
By tapping into the wisdom and experiences of those who have walked the path before them, they can accelerate their own growth and development.
Confident speakers understand the value they bring to the stage and are unapologetic about owning their position.
“Every speech is a performance. Whether you're a motivational speaker, a humorist, a sales trainer, it doesn't matter, because when you look at it as a performance, you start to put those key elements into that delivery that creates that emotional connection.”
-Patrick Henry
