Motivate them

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

This is the time of the year that teachers or guest speakers often address students. They may be giving graduation speeches but they may also be speaking to students who are not graduating. Such a speech should be motivational, inspirational or persuasive in tone. They might speak to them about how to challenge themselves and reap the rewards or something more practical such as suggesting that they plant a tree and help reforest the earth. You might tell them to live each day as if it were their last or persuade them to be blood donors. You might explain the joys of volunteering or the enjoyment to be got by learning to swim. For older students how to be successful is a very relevant topic. Whatever the topic give them something to remember, discuss and hopefully they may even act upon your suggestions.

Tailor your speech to suit your audience

Monday, April 21st, 2008

How do you choose a speech to suit your audience? It’s quite easy if you have been asked to talk to engineers about town planning. Obviously your speech will be technical and geared towards that particular audience and you’ll probably be an expert anyhow. If, however, your audience is more general and you are not an expert you should choose a subject that is common to all. Health is always a good idea because it affects us all. So you might speak about Diabetes, Asthma or another ailment such as Acne. Other subjects might be something we all do such as sleep or dream. In that way you will capture the attention of your audience and hopefully, you won’t send them to sleep!
