Franklin Delano Roosevelt had some good advice for the public speaker when he said, be sincere, be brief, be seated. Be simple, natural and effective and earn your C's.
- Be fully Committed to your message and be ready to take action in the face of doubt.
- Be Competent concentrate on your audience and customize your remarks to show that you know what is important to them.
- Demonstrate Candor. Tell your truth. Be vulnerable. Share your mishaps.
- Challenge yourself and then Challenge your audience to think differently, make some change, take some action.
- Have the Courage to talk about uncomfortable things. Don't only give the audience what they want, but what they need to hear.
- Collaborate, not compete, with your audience with your speaker colleagues.

awesome opportunity you have at the platform and take it seriously.
