What do you want to be known for when you speak? Do you want to be known as enthusiastic? as sincere? as authentic? as knowledgeable? When you speak reflect on the 2-3 virtues that you want to be known for and you will cause those virtues to be transmitted through your speech or presentation. It will bring out your unique style.
I find that whenever I reflect on a particular virtue when I speak it has an impact on me. For example, if I reflect on being enthusiastic I automatically inject more enthusiasm into my speaking. If I reflect on being optimistic my vice takes on extra life. The same can be said about compassion, concern or any other virtue. Recognizing what virtue would be best suited for a particular message within your speech and reflecting on it can make a world of difference in how your message comes across.
Reflecting on virtues can be another tool in your Speaker’s Tool Box.
