Now I have to figure out what to say in this speech you're going to give.
We can do this the hard way or we can do this the easy way I'm going to assume you want to do it the
easy way the hard way which is what most people do and why most people hate public speaking is they
try to gather every single fact in the entire world that they could say on the subject.
So if they're giving a quarterly report on how their division did they're trying to gather every single
sales just store data.
Everything that's happened every blip every fact and they're cramming it all in his PowerPoint they
want to speak quick pads.
Hard work.
You want the easy way out I'm going to give it to you.
Here's what I need you to do.
Brainstorm on every message you could possibly say on this subject.
Narrow it down to the top five.
Why five.
It's because I actually test audiences all over the world.
I have never found an audience to remember more than five key ideas from the best speaker in the world.
You only want to get to be average or a little above mediocre the best speakers in the world only communicate
five ideas.
So let's narrow it down.
The big mistake of course most people try to communicate 50 100 ideas.
They communicate nothing.
So let's just cut right to the day.
Focus on your five ideas.
Write those down one sentence for each one 10 words or less.
Write it down let's make it simple folks.
This is not the time for an 80 page PowerPoint.
Five points ten words or less.
