Before you can bust into the super stardom as a superb speaker you are going to have to be believable and work on your image. You need to brand yourself not only as an Expert in your field, but you must convince your audience that you are a real person.

If they cannot relate with you they will not listen and if they are not listening why bother? Of course you are most likely getting paid, but if you are not delivering the message and people are not absorbing it then it could be said you are wasting your time.

You must realize that you need a storyline of something in your past that shows you are a real person. You will have to look for examples of this to share with your audience, as they are needed to propel your project and your speech. Using your past life events can make you "Likable" and it makes you into a "Real Person" and therefore is relevant in image making or "Branding of a Person" if you will.

If you are serious about pubic speaking and wish to be the spokesman or woman for your efforts you need to focus on the audience and strike a common bond and find that common ground. No one wants the Superman story without the kryptonite and so you must find it for them because good concept needs a "Spokesman." Perhaps you might recall a time your past when you were struggling to make ends meet.

The idea of a "struggle" is something that might help. This is why everyone loves the rocky story. If you are speaking at a College or University it will resonate with the students, who feel they are struggling and dealing with tough times too. Many students often say that; "Going to School keeps you broke" and thus these students will indeed listen because they can relate.

I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
