Speaking Tip from Eudora Welty:         "Serious Daring Starts from Within."
 

The great southern author Eudora Welty said, "All serious daring starts from within."

Certainly that is the case for anyone who wants to really blow away an audience.  Virtually anyone can learn how to deliver a great presentation.  The bigger issue is will they?  Will they be willing to hang themselves out there, and dare to blow away the audience?

We worked with a lawyer recently who struggled with this issue.   The content of her presentation was excellent but she was struggling with style.  Our coach urged the lawyer to add more energy, and when she did, she looked and sounded great.  If she would only be willing to do it that way in front of her clients, she would have blown then away. And she saw it.  “It does look great,” she said, looking at her videotape.

But the lawyer was resistant.  “I don’t know if I can present that way,” she said. “I mean, most lawyers don’t do it that way.”

She saw that she could be great. But that would mean standing out from the crowd.  She wasn’t sure if she could make that step.

At Speechworks, we can help you learn to be great.  We can even take you the brink of greatness. But ultimately, you must dare to be great.  And that daring, as Ms. Welty points out, comes from within.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net
