I took this position because I believe a speaker must move beyond presentation to presence. That means, being connected and real and engaged with their audience. It is rooted in the idea that authenticity through emotional resonance carries more weight than the polished precision of a pre-planned message. Spontaneity allows for a genuineness that scripts sometimes struggle to replicate.
Seven participants came for the meeting. Five project speakers and seven elevator pitches. (The one-word topic this time around was 'blue').
My one-minute speech relates to a song "Blue, blue, my world is blue" (originally "L'amour est bleu"). It is a song about heartbreak and the sorrow of lost love, where colors represent intense emotions. And I shared that I wear my heart on my sleeve.
