I was in a Clubhouse room the other day, and someone raised a hand to be invited to the stage. The individual explained that he was ready to begin exploring opportunities for public speaking.
“What’s your central message?” the moderator asked.
The individual replied, “Well, I can adapt to suit the audience. I have expertise in a number of areas.”
Ouch.
The first thing to do is to have a central message. Know what it is, and know who needs to hear it. Then you can start looking for opportunities to share it.
