I have this guilty pleasure of watching the short videos on various social media platforms. Some call them Reels or "shorts" but they are just short videos about just about anything and they can be addicting. I am posting the link to one on Instagram by a comedian by the name of Mike Goodwin. He is very funny. This is a short video of him sharing a story about a time when he was doing a comedy presentation and he was not "present" and how he later thought about this and he was not as good as he could have been. I suppose there are many things that could be thought about from these very brief words here. I would like for you to look at what he is presenting through the toastmaster lens so to speak. What can we apply to our own public peeking opportunities?
A few things I thought about are:
Being present for your audience! Don't be afraid to address things that are happening in the room. you are not here to recite words you are here to present a speech. This adds another level to your speaking.
When you are giving a speech it is not only about you. It's about your audience, What do you want them to get from your speech?
Give your best effort every time you present your speech. Give an "A" effort every time.
I know there is much more that could be gleaned from his short video here. Please, Put your thoughts in a comment below this post? I would love to read them!
