12 Key Steps to Great Speaking and Communicating: Step 5 Playing in the Open. |
Context and Premise: At the stage of collective awareness we currently operate from, there are four ways in which we are perceived, interpreted and categorized by others: what we do, what we say, what we feel and what we think. How we consciously and subconsciously stage those four things literally determine who we are to others. They represent the master keys to our future, designed and created moment by moment. Without intending to turn speakers or communicators into actors or performers, the validity and power of acting skills can be demonstrated time and time again within my coaching experience. Speakers, for the most part, deal with performance issues. With performance comes staging, presence, experience and message. Performance skills are what make a speaker attractive to watch and riveting to listen to. I have put together 12 key steps to further distinguish the above concepts, and hopefully shed some light on this wonderful path.
