Looking for a winning formula for your speech – use your eyes

You have ideas for your speech. You know what you want to achieve with your presentation, but you’re stuck, trying to find a powerful slant ... and material that will give your points life? Where will you find the stimulus to develop your ideas?

Look ...

Magazines. Again, you are reading these already. Look at them from the slant of your speech. And look with new eyes at the racks in the newsagents, the library and the train stations.

Look at Facebook. Go beyond the ordinary and let your mind and the ideas you have already interact with what you see.

Look at Pinterest. Why did the person upload these pictures and/or text? How would you have dealt with that material?

Slide your eyes around your world. Catch the corners and edges of life and look at what happens, why it happens and what might have happened instead, all with your particular speech topic in mind.

Somewhere, a idea will develop, a crystallisation of your thoughts and attitudes, something that will hook your audience with its simplicity, its originality and its relevance to their worlds.

How we suppress genius and create learning disability

Scott Sonnon overcame dyslexia so severe that he was hospitalized in a children's psychiatric institution. He was advised that he should not set very high his expectations of his potential. He went on to become a five-time world martial arts champion, award-winning producer and author, patented inventor, and fitness industry magnate. Scott was named one of the top 24 trainers in the world by Men's Fitness magazine, and one of the six most influential martial artists of the 21st century by Black Belt Magazine.

Surprise for beautiful humanitarian

Nicholas Winton organized the rescue of 669 mostly Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport. Winton found homes for them and arranged for their safe passage to Britain. Winton kept quiet about his humanitarian exploits for many years, no telling anyone, not even his wife Grete about his wartime rescue efforts. In 1988 Grete found a detailed scrapbook in their attic. It contained lists of the children, including their parents' names, and the names and addresses of the families that took them in. During that year, leters were sent to these addresses and 80 of "Winton's children" were found in Britain. The world found out about his work later that year during an episode of the BBC television programme That's Life! when he was invited as a member of the audience. Little did he know that some of those survivors had gathered to give him a wonderful surprise!
