November 23rd, 2008

Time management is essential if you want to be a public speaking star. Heck, time management is essential if you want to become successful in life. Therefore, ask you if you have a time management scheme pulled together that will help you deliver a ground-breaking speech.

Let's make a checklist to see if you have a time management scheme that will help you get to the top while delivering your speech.

Checklist
Do you know what your values are?
Are you doing less?
Are you slowing down to look at the whole pie?
Is your focus on the outcome of the speech?
Are you handling it right now?
Are you focusing on time?
Are you continuing to experiment, observe and evaluate as you write your speech?

Reviewing
Let's consider you as a right-brain candidate. This means you work from the right brain more so than from the left brain. Why is this important? Because right brain people use their critical parent side, rebellious side, judging side, and other sides of the brain more so than using the creative parent side, child side, and so on. Ok, now let's look at your values. Are you looking at the finishing line of the speech? That is are you considering the big picture? What is the value of your speech? Is the speeches value along with your own values in sync and is your goal to be a star while speaking in public?

What about doing less? In other words are you spending more time doing other activities rather than working on your speech? Are there areas in your daily schedule that you can put off for now so that you can focus on your speech? Is there a time space between walking to the next class, riding the bus home, and so forth, that you could use to work on your speech? The more time you apply to writing your speech and practice giving you speech, the better the chance you will have at becoming a star.

Are you slowing down to look at the whole pie? Is your main focus on becoming that star in public? If you are rushing to finish your speech, likely you are going to deliver a speech that is not organized, structured, chronological, and logical, and so forth. Take your time while writing the speech rather than rushing through the process. If your, main focus is becoming a star then you are missing the points, i.e. you are missing out on what it takes to become that star.

Is the focus on the outcome of the speech? The prime goal here is writing the speech while delivering the speech on stage. The goal should include impressing scores of people as you speak clear and loud on stage. If you are thinking solely of the outcome again you are missing the point, since you must work through the smaller goals to reach the outcome.

Are you handling it right now? Procrastinating is one of the most harmful and insignificant action we as people can risk. The saying, don't put off tomorrow what you can do today applies in this time-management how to be a public speaking star scheme. If you want to achieve being a star, thus you have to put forth the effort and continue that effort until the finish line. You can use time management to become that star, by applying you to the task.

Are you focusing on time? Sure, as you practice the speech at home you should time you as you speak aloud. If you are writing your speech and have set the time aside to write this speech however, drop time and work on the speech. Watching the time can only add pressure.

Are you continuing to experiment, observe and evaluate as you write your speech? As you write your speech, you want to experiment. For instance, if you are writing a sentence that seems to be ok, yet it appears dressing up is needed, thus pick your brain to see if you can come up with a better sentence that will make the speech more powerful. As you write, observe, evaluate, and experiment so that you can deliver a star driven speech
