One point that I'd like to make is that your intentions actually DO matter! The reason is because you HAVE to believe in what you are talking about to your audience. If you are just telling them things that you think that they want to hear, then your insincerity will come through and your audience won't be happy. The great speakers take the time to find what views & beliefs they share in common with their audience and then they focus on these while they give their speech. Good luck and always keep it original and authentic! Robin: it sounds like you are well on your way to becoming a great speaker.

I have had to learn to identify what an audience is really looking for. So, as you mentioned on another post I would agree on the the rules of 'CONTENT'. The second key would be CONFIDENCE. This is something that I discoverred through when working my 'own stories' into the presentation. No one can tell Your story like You can! Come to think of it, this also keeps it original and authentic. I guess that something else folk are looking for... the real deal!? Thanks for the great blog!

I might take that one step further and say that you need to know your audience and what they want to hear; however, once you know this don't tell them what they WANT to hear, but rather tell them what they NEED to hear...!

But I would also add that you should always place the audience to the center of your attention when writing a speech. What does your audience want to hear. What can you say to interest them? In my opinion that's the key to a "perfect speech". I like your point about telling a story.
