‘Your authority is created by sharing with people why you have the right to be the person delivering the speech or presentation’

In this fascinating episode, Toni explains how to effectively establish your authority when speaking. She shares the psychology that underpins authority and how to get out of your own way to achieve successful and engaging speeches and presentations.

This is an invaluable listen for anyone who has a message or information to share with an audience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your authority as a speaker comes from your psychology in speaking.
• Everyone experiences the voice your head, which questions what you are doing and your right to be doing it.
• If you allow the voice in your head to stop you in public speaking because you have a lower level of self-worth or you have authority fears around it you are never going to get to where you want to be.
• To develop any new skill, you take learning from an expert in their field and then put it into practice.
• You learn it, you practise it, you master it.
• To master the psychology, focus on the positive, what if it goes really well….
• You have a message to share, you have information to tell and people want to hear what you have to say.
• Within the speaker system at Unlimited Success is the ‘Earn the Honour’ process
• This is all about the right to speak and earning the status.
• Why are you the authority? why should your audience listen to you?
• Your authority is created by sharing with people why you have the right to be the person delivering the speech or presentation.
• You want people to think ‘why should I be listening to you’ and have that question answered immediately.
• The smaller individual things create the hook for people to be interested, intrigued and to listen.
• You are creating a desire for people to listen to the entirety of your speech.
