Speaking to Inform - Project 1 The Speech to Inform

The goal is to become a professional speaker with the following profile description:

Eu Jin will entertain, provide practical advice and inspire native and non-native speakers to deliver their ideas with confidence.

This description is also listed in my Speakers Bureau profile description http://www.capitalcommunicators.org/page2.html

After completing my Competent Communication manual, I am on my journey to give speeches from advance manuals (a world that is full of excitements, a dimension that would lead me to unknown opportunities). As a stepping stone to become a professional speaker, I had chosen two advance manuals to start of with, i.e.
  • Speaking to Inform and
  • Storytelling.
Now the challenge is to plant the spirit as described in my profile description in all the speech projects from the above two manuals.

As I have been given the opportunity to speak for the coming Toastmasters meeting, 27 October 2009, I decided to give a speech which satisfies the objectives of Project 1 The Speech to Inform from the Speaking to Inform manual.

After a long thought, the outline of my first advance speech could be summarised as follows:
  • My speech title is ... Don't be afraid, Let's Smile
  • After listening to my speech... the audience will understand by practising to smile at people will allow one to develop the confidence in delivering their ideas.
  • Introduction - Telling the audience of my great big smile and my journey of smiling through my speeches
  • Body point #1 - Smile = Research to show the power of smiling, explain how smiling could benefit in developing self confidence when delivering an ideas,
  • Body point #2 - show the impact of smiling/not smiling on the introduction story
  • Body point #3 - when to use/not to use it
  • Conclusion - Re-emphasis the 3 points.

Give and You Shall Receive

Decided to set up a charity fund to empower people across the globe so that they are able self sustain and improve their quality of life.

This charity fund will be taking 50% of the profit from my work as a Kleeneze distributor. Which means, my customers will be donating a proportion of their payment to the fund with no additonal cost!

The funding component for the charity is half way done. The other half is finding suitable vehicles to grow the funds.

The next big step is to think about how to use the fund to empower people?
