<strong>The</strong> Power of the Platform - Speakers on Life<br />
skills necessary to deliver their thoughts<br />
and ideas effectively. It’s disturbing to me to<br />
see intelligent, talented people fail to express<br />
themselves well.<br />
Everyone has the capacity to improve his or her<br />
communication skills. By becoming more aware<br />
of what you are saying and how you are saying<br />
it and by being willing to put forth the effort<br />
necessary to improve your communication<br />
techniques, you can avoid misunderstandings,<br />
share greater compassion, and become more<br />
skilled at communicating important thoughts<br />
and messages.<br />
A Simple Formula to Help<br />
I am so passionate about this mission that I<br />
developed and trademarked a presentation<br />
process. I call it the I-A-P Formula. IAP<br />
stands for Intent-Audience Analysis-Powerful<br />
Performance. Using this formula, I teach<br />
people how to simplify their communication<br />
preparation and delivery process. When<br />
you keep the preparation simple, powerful<br />
performance will come easily. <strong>The</strong> ability to<br />
communicate effectively and present your<br />
authentic self will help you feel greater selfconfidence<br />
as you engage your passion.<br />
Fun, then, becomes a natural byproduct, if<br />
not a direct goal you set for yourself or your<br />
audience. I know I could not stay focused or<br />
energized on my mission without having fun<br />
EVERY DAY! Take time for family dinners, golf<br />
with friends, or lunch with a favorite client.<br />
