The right words, but not necessarily in the right order—Why SCRIPTING is critical for your Speak Performance!

Speaking—Or an Approximation Thereof—with Ges Ray

Some speakers ponder a few ideas on a Sunday afternoon, cobble together a rough set of notes on the Tuesday, and then on Wednesday meander to the stage and ramble around it—boring the audience to death.

Scripting, crafting your thoughts, shaping your message for maximum impact is not just useful for a big talk, but can be handy in everyday situations.

Ges Ray describes the power of scripting and his assembled motley crew demonstrate just how not to do it... Perhaps counter to your expectations, preparing scripts can allow you to be much more present and valuable to the audience in the moment.
