Not long ago I attended a daylong conference which included a host of presenters on a variety of subjects. I made a great attempt to watch and listen to what each was saying. But, as you no doubt have witnessed on countless occasions, the conference fell flat. I found myself distracted, disinterested, and disengaged in what was being said—and more importantly in how it was being presented.  It was another forgettable conference.

We don’t want forgettable. We want memorable.

So, how do we achieve this? The ‘fix’ is not as complicated as one might think, because part of the battle has already been achieved. At the conference I referred to, the words spoken weren’t so bad. In fact, they were actually pretty good. “This has the power to change a person’s life!”, said one presenter. “We live in an age of incredible changes! Now is the time to Act!”, said another. Great words—but terrible delivery.

There is a drastic shift that we need to make in the way we prepare a speech, a PowerPoint, a motivating message to our team, to a small group, or to a cast of hundreds or thousands. We spend endless hours trying to come up with the perfect words but spend comparatively little time on executing a powerful delivery.

Words are only as powerful as the vocals and visuals that back them up. When I hear, “This has the power to change a person’s life!”, I want to feel it! I want to know the presenter believes his message! I want it to burn within me and know that it’s true! When a speaker is passionate about their message, wow! You can see it in their facial expressions, in their gestures and in their very presence. They are engaged—which programs the audience to be engaged. This is the only way a person will act upon words that they hear. Words without feeling are like being completely stoic in a deeply emotional setting. It just doesn’t work.
