“The art of communication is the language of leadership.”James Humes Communication Skills for Leaders Presented by Charlene Eberly
Public Speaking is just Speaking + Public… • Don’t picture your audience in their underwear! • Picture them as friends, eager to hear your message.
Have a clear message… Or a dream…
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” • Barack Obama
“…as long as girls and women are valued less, fed less, fed last, overworked, underpaid, not schooled and subjected to violence in and out of their homes – the potential of the human family to create a peaceful, prosperous world will not be realized. […] Women’s rights are human rights…” United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women - Beijing, China – 9/5/1995
Use the Language of Leaders • Direct, Focused • Positive, Confident • Calm, Decisive • Inclusive, Fair “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.” Steve Jobs
Use inclusive language Avoid language that: -generalizes -stereotypes -minimizes -judges -diminishes or “others” INDIVIDUALS.
If you want to sound confident and unrehearsed…
Who are You? What’s Your Message?
Sometimes a 30-second ride can lead the journey of a lifetime!
