Are you an organized Public Speaker?

by Charli Jane Speaker Services

So many public speakers are on the move with no clue that their lack of organization affects their presentation, thus your ideas may not get across in the way you would like.  Communication is the key to being a successful speaker alongside organization.  You could be the best public speaker in your forte, but lack of organization will shine right through your message and lose the audience you are trying to impact.  With that said here are my recommendations on getting organized and leaving a lasting impression

1. Is your office organized?  Remember that your work space should be a haven that motivates your expertise.  If you are not organized you will lose focus and items that are needed for your speaking engagements or any continuous projects you work on.
2. Look and feel your best.  If you are healthy, well rested, focused and motivated it will shine through to your target audience.  This also includes your attire.  Get the perfect attire that does not overshadow your audience, but makes them feel at ease with you are and what you have to say.  Also remember if you had a bad day and did not leave it at the door, your lack of composure will inevitably make an impact on your message.
3. Brush up on your topic.  If you are out of touch with newest advancements, or tools to help your audience then you are not prepared.
4. Your presentation should be edited and perfected.  If your presentation lacks organization, it will not flow.  If your forte is not editing and perfecting hire the personnel you need to assist you in achieving that perfect presentation. 

In every part of your life you should be a walking billboard for your public speaking forum.  By staying organized you know that where ever you go the way you look, the way you speak is not a walking contradiction.
