A great speaker is a great performer, not necessarily a great actor.
Performance always happens in front of an audience.
The performance skills are what make him or her attractive to watch and listen to.
I have put together 12 great keys to place you on the path of excellence.
The public arena is a space or spaciousness, which needs to be filled with intention, life and self-expression.
It is empty without that filling.
This is where the courage to speak goes.
It is the space around us that grants everything we think, feel, do and say.
* Space is what there is to identify with and become aware of first.
* Space is what grants speakers their freedom.
Space is the true medium of speaking.
The content of a presentation has to be distinguished from the context or that which contains.
"Fish to water, bird to air and man to himself.
" Way too much emphasis is given to verbal communication alone, and the words or content of presentations.
What makes a presentation flat is the lack of space.
A shy individual has removed his/her natural boundary space around him/herself.
Space is very much the room that you occupy with your energy.
Are restricted to your body or are you "projecting" beyond it.
The occupying and projecting of a larger circle of energy around yourself is necessary and literally gives your freedom as a communicator.
Self-expression is also a matter of quality of space or how much room we take.
I always have been amazed at how small living quarters are in Europe compared to the US.
I've sat at dinner parties in tiny flats in London with a dozen people, and felt like it was incredibly spacious.
Lack of space starts with the speaker or communicator.
The space is first contemplated, then "held" or "contained" by a speaker.
Make the space around you bigger when you communicate.
Take more space!
