14 Perfect Your Delivery

Leaders must have showmanship and know how to "perform" a message. It is part of the role. Great delivery balances three tensions:

• Strength and Vulnerability

• Fitting In and Standing Out

• Distance and Intimacy

When you put all of the opposites into your body language, vocal presence, and content - you naturally will have a better delivery. People often resist the idea of acting in a business setting. Instead, see this as an invitation to bring all your energy, emotion, and creativity to captivate your listener.

Listen as I walk through visual cues, vocal presence, strong starts and closes, provocative transitions, storytelling, use of data, and strong closes. Apply these tips with your next large audience and increase the impact.
