Speak with purpose from "summary" of Speak Easy by Maggie Eyre
When you step up to speak, make sure your words have a clear intention behind them. Your message should be purposeful and focused, not meandering or vague. Before you open your mouth, take a moment to think about what you want to achieve with your speech. What is the main point you want to get across? What do you want your audience to take away from your words?Speaking with purpose means being deliberate in your communication. Every word you say should serve a specific goal, whether it's to inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain. Avoid rambling or going off on tangents – stay on track and keep your message concise and to the point. Remember, less is often more when it comes to effective communication. To speak with purpose, you need to be clear about your objectives and the key takeaways you want your audience to remember. Make sure your message is relevant to your audience and tailored to their needs and interests. Consider what they already know and what they need to know – and frame your message accordingly. When you speak with purpose, you exude confidence and authority. Your audience will be more likely to listen to and trust you if they can see that you are in control and know what you're talking about. Be assertive in your delivery, but also be open to feedback and willing to engage in a dialogue with your listeners. Remember that speaking with purpose is not just about what you say, but also how you say it. Pay attention to your tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions – they all play a role in conveying your message effectively. Be mindful of your audience's reactions and adjust your communication style as needed to keep them engaged and interested.- Speaking with purpose is about being intentional, focused, and clear in your communication. It's about knowing what you want to achieve with your words and making sure every word counts. So next time you step up to speak, remember to speak with purpose and make your message count.
