A Quick Tip for Delivering a Great SpeechWritten by V. Berba Velasco Jr., Ph.D.
Does speaking in public leave you tongue-tied? Do you stumble over your words? Do you want to learn how to speak more eloquently in front of a crowed?Here’s a simple tip for getting started: Talk about something that you’re passionate about. Have you ever noticed how people sound more eloquent when they’re talking about something that’s dear to their heart? They speak more fluidly, and they’re less likely to grasp for right words. They also speak with more confidence, emotion and conviction. And why not? They’ve probably delivered great orations to themselves many times before, in privacy of their own minds.

My daughter is an avid VH1 watcher. We have watched a lot of Newlyweds- show where Jessica Simpson first uttered now infamous question- “is it chicken or is it tuna?” We’ve also followed Ashley Simpson and her drive to success. There is also another series- Driven. Have you noticed how many younger performers are becoming successful in droves? They want it- BAD. They work like crazy. They live it. Usher was a little kid when he said he would be famous. He pursued that dream relentlessly until it came to pass. These kids are not only doing recordings, but they are appearing in movies, starting their own clothing lines, and …. Just raking in cash. What is happening here? My own theory on subject, is while somewhere, deep in our heart- we believe it is possible to achieve anything you set your mind to. But as we get older, that dream dims. We still believe it- but somehow just don’t have drive to achieve it.
