In fact after his feedback, I revamped my contest speech. I felt so much more aligned to the speech as it was truly for the audience instead of making me look good. It is about "will this work for the audience?" more than "will this accentuate my strength?". And guess what, the audience love the revamped one... No brainer actually haha. Take care!

I get feeds from both Eric and Darren. I think as public speakers we often kid ourselves as to our importance. Too often we think that we can change the world from a 45 minute keynote speech! However, the reality is that to make a change in people takes more than just a speech. (Just ask any psychologist!!!) And if we are using our public speaking engagements to get validation from the audience, we are also in the wrong place. If we need validation we should get a dog. They will be WOWed by us every time! Cheers Darren Fleming Australias Public Speaking coach Hi,
