If your goal is to deliver a relevant message to the people in your audience, you must be sure that your message is relevant to you as a speaker. Why? If you don’t believe in your message, your listeners will not buy it. Don’t rely on your personal charisma, since that itself is not enough. People can sense when something is not authentic.
They may be unable to explain why, but listeners just know it. The result is that they will automatically disconnect. With personal content, you will come across as genuine and trustworthy – because you are, claims the smartblogs.com website.
Passion is necessary for all topics
Your passion for the subject is what drives your delivery. Your passion helps you to establish your credibility and grab your listeners' attention. If you speak about a subject you truly love and know extremely well, that’s good. However, in reality that’s not always the case. On some occasions we have to speak about topics we are not very familiar with. Could you connect the message to yourself and to your audience as well in this situation?
Develop a message you believe in
Imagine that you have to speak about a topic which is outside of your comfort zone, or you are asked to deliver a presentation that you haven’t developed yourself. The first step is to familiarize yourself with the material. Invest time in it. Make the presentation your own, use your own words.
Make it personal
Make each pitch you are about to deliver more meaningful to you by adding your own personal point of view. For many business topics there can be relevant stories such are why you decided to work for a certain company, or when you’ve seen some products help your customers.
