Why You Must Relish Every Opportunity to Speak

Author picture
I write about strategies to guide speakers with their personal branding and turn it into cash. I also share ways to use real-time strategies to spread ideas, position clients as influencers, and build business.

You must dedicate yourself to the task if you want to create, organize, and give a fantastic presentation. Your bad attitude will be evident in the finished product if you approach it halfheartedly or, worse yet, with fear.

We’ll look at developing a positive perspective regarding speaking in this article.

Change your vocabulary and attitude

I visited one of my favorite blogs by Michael Hyatt as I was attempting to decide between various reader questions for this article. How a Change in Vocabulary Can Instantly Change Your Attitude is his article. It dawned on me when I hung up. I’m not required to speak. I get to talk. My mindset was immediately altered by that.

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The first sentence (I have to do it) is written in the language of obligation. Nothing incorrect about that. I support taking responsibility. But far too frequently, we groan when we say it, as if it were a sentence or we were the sufferer. The second phrase, “I get to do it,” is a privileged term. It feels as though we have been given a gift, and we are grateful for the chance.

We must keep in mind that every opportunity to speak is a pleasure to be savored, even though it may also be a duty. It’s a chance for us to present our ideas. It’s a chance to start a conversation about problems. It’s a chance to inspire others to take action.

Pro Tip

Don’t mumble or eat your words — articulate clearly.

An optimistic outlook will bring you a wealth of benefits. You’ll feel more energized and eager to talk when it’s your turn to speak, which will make the effort required to plan and prepare your presentation appear less onerous. You become more audience-focused when you frame the chance as a privilege, which is always a good thing.

Additional Word Changes for Speakers

The big picture is taken care of by framing a speaking opportunity as a luxury, but you may use the same vocabulary change for other aspects of speaking. Every chance to speak is a luxury that should be cherished.

For instance:

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
Thomas A. Edison

Action Item

Make sure to speak at the speed of a normal conversation. Avoid speaking too quickly because people will get lost in what you are saying. But don’t speak too slowly, either, as they will get bored.
