Giving Back
During 2005 - the 25th anniversary of ESI - we have a lot going on around our hometown.
We will teach at least 25 high school principals, administrators, and teachers to communicate more effectively with their "customers." We will work with at least 25 teachers, deans, and administrators at Central Piedmont Community College to communicate more effectively, as well as with 25 non-profit professionals selected by the Foundation for the Carolinas.
Additionally, we are working with public radio station WFAE to develop a session for its sponsors, listeners and staff.
Finally, we are awarding at least a thousand dollars to each of 25 charities. The money from this comes from our speaking engagements.
So, should your organization have a meeting requiring a professional speaker, or should you know of others, we would appreciate you recommending our services. We will speak free, and the sponsor makes a donation to the Foundation for The Carolinas.

Hello. What makes people admire a speaker? After 25 years of teaching presentation skills and asking audiences around the world, I believe I have the answer. We'll explore that this time in Zipline.
Now, let's get going.

Attain Most Admired Status
As a speaker, you can attain most admired status by working on the six key elements that separate the effective from the ineffective communicators.
First, I suggest you get objective feedback on your current strengths and weaknesses. Ask a friend with a camcorder to videotape your next presentation, or give a few presentations just for the camera. Then, study the tape to see what you notice. Ask friends or family to watch the tape, too, and get their thoughts.
Now, you have a benchmark of your strengths and weaknesses to compare and contrast with the six key elements we will discuss below.
Great speakers have a passion for their message. If you are not passionate about your topic, figure out a way to get excited about it, or talk about something that does stir you. Enthusiasm, energy, and emotion take a speaker into the admired realm.
Next, effective speakers are well-prepared and deliver their message with authority. This means practice, practice, practice.
Connecting with the audience is your next trait to work on. Great eye contact is the first step to connecting with the audience. Practice this and not only will you connect with them, you will draw energy from the audience, too.
Stories have universal appeal and provide a way to simplify the complex. Develop good storytelling skills and you will be in demand.
Vocal variety - the ability to project your voice, to vary your tone and timbre and to enunciate well - is fifth on our most admired traits list.
Finally, we come to one that troubles many speakers: vulnerability. Speakers who can be vulnerable in front of an audience, who are willing to let people see their warts, and their humanity are well on their way to most admired status.
I guarantee that you will become a more effective presenter if you review and work on these traits that audiences admire in good presenters.

Physical: learns best by doing, wants to get a hands on contact with the subject, feels a need to move while learning, pastimes involve activity or handiwork.
Musical: Remembers tunes and lyrics easily, uses music as a frame of reference, has a natural sense of timing or rhythm, enjoys sounds of all types, is easily distracted by sounds, notices the cadence of things.
