THE ACROSTIC: A Successful Speaker's Secret Sauce!




"Acrostic? What's that?" you ask.

It's a form of communication in which the first 
"Acrostic? What's that?" you ask.

It's a form of communication in which the first letter of each line spells out a word or message.

I use it all the time when I'm coaching or presenting because it helps my audience (and me!😁) remember my message.

Take last Friday.

I was the guest speaker at De'lish Restaurant. I talked to the patrons about my career as a professional master of ceremonies, public speaking coach and TV personality. 

I based my presentation on an acrostic using the word DE'LISH. Here it is:

Desire: an important first step
Engage with industry people 
Learning never stops
Interact: no-one is an island
Speed: focus on yours. Think marathon
Hitches: expect them

I guarantee you that if you base your talk on a relevant acrostic and support each point with a story, your audiences will never forget your message!

Which is what every speaker aims for right?

P.S. Expand the picture and read aloud the food quotes. Some cracked me up! 😆😆
