Communicating for a Change - Chapter 14 Notes

4) Internalize the message – what’s your story?

- No actor would make simply take out a manuscript and start reading monotone

- You need to own your message, as if it’s a part of you, where you able to tell it rather than preach it

- Do you really expect anyone to remember anything you said if you haven’t?

- If you’re reading from notes, chances are you haven’t internalized it

- Having too much to say is sometimes the equivalent of saying nothing (less is more)

- If something doesn’t support the point, cut it… have your talk read like a story (tension, resolution, climax, conclusion)
