SPEAKING PROPS... THE INSIDE SCOOP



Have you ever felt public speaking was something meant for men called gods like Martin Luther King?

Did you know that a public speaker's message is woven into his personality; a good blend is a great combination that is powerful?

Have you been speaking for free and you loathe the fact that phenomenal speakers are lugging home outrageous amounts for speaking?

Are you considering going into public speaking full time?

Do you feel the pangs of fear that make your knees buckle and your speech slurred whenever you stand before people to speak?

Are you often confused on how to properly pronounce some English words and that makes you look like as a wanna-be?

If you have considered the questions above and found yourself fitting into one of these questions above, then keep calm and read on.


SPEAKING PROPS is a Masterclass for public speakers, thought leaders,business leaders and TV/radio presenters.

The first edition held in Port Harcourt on the 30th of May, 2014. Abuja edition held on the 15th of November, 2014. Lagos edition is scheduled to hold on the 20th of June, 2015.



There will be five sessions facilitated by awesome speakers:

1. PSYCHOLOGY OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Public Speaking is not rhetoric. It is meant to be a persona. You shouldcarry your message from inside you. The original power in public speakingis derived from being a walking, living version of your message.

There is a psychology to public speaking. Your first few words, yourfacial countenance, your gait and salutation can make or mar your speechpresentation.

How do you grip this psychology and use it to your advantage?

During this session, BANKOLE WILLIAMS @iambankole will teach participantswhat the psychology is and how to use it to their advantage.

2. OVERCOMING FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Many individuals have messages within them, yearning to be shared to theworld. But, standing in a room of just five persons, they tremble, sweat, or even piss in their pants. The fear of public speaking is one of theworst fears in human history. However, this can be overcome, not by usingdrugs or narcotics, but by effective strategies that work.

CHINONSO OGBOGU @chinonsowrites will share with participants on how toovercome this fear.

3. BUSINESS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Many speakers speak for free, and that’s fine. But you can earn a fee bydoing something you usually do for free. That’s where the business aspectsets in. Speaking is a value-adding enterprise. How do you fashion yourproduct? How do you structure your offering to be valuable and profitable?

STEVE HARRIS @iamsteveharris will share with participants on how to do thebusiness of their speaking.

4. PHONETICS, ELOCUTION AND SPEECH PRESENTATION STRATEGIES.

Phonetics isn’t just to speak like oyinbo people. Keeping your wordssimple so you don’t lose your audience is key. Sounding your wordsproperly is paramount. Modulations, using a key example like Martin Lutheris essential to a fantastic speech delivery.

EKUNDAYO ODELE @ekundayoodele will share these strategies participants.


5. PROPPING YOUR SPEAKING ANTICS

What do you do when you are invited to speak? What’s the place of
PowerPoint slides in your presentation? How do you start preparations?
What do you do if you are running late to an event? Should you stay behindwhen you are done speaking at an event? What is the use of feedbacksheets? What has time got to do with your delivery?

DANCE OR DIE???

Afternoon my people... I hope you are having a fabulous day? This post is dedicated to the courageous christians being killed by boko haram in the north and those slaughtered by isis and all facing persecution all around the world.


I remember several years ago... precisely in august 2005 on Solid Foundation camp in Ipaja. The theme was AWESOME GOD(if I remember correctly) and I had an encounter that changed my life forever.

A certain pastor had been invited to preach and he titled his message
DANCE OR DIE... TAKE YOUR STAND
that day as he jocularly recited the title in a singsong manner periodically all through the message and we chanted alongside him never did I know that what he was talking about would have long lasting impact for me and even set the course for the rest of my life.
His lesson centered on 3 hebrew children who had come to be known as Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego who refused to dance before or bow to the graven image the king had constructed. They were told in clear terms DANCE OR DIE! 


Their choice is still being celebrated today... Same question the christians in the north are facing... Dance or Die... not to talk of the several mass killings of christians by islamic militant group ISIS.
This is a wake up call to christians all over the world... If you were presented with the same option would your faith stand strong in the dace of sure death?

Enough of lip service... Let's dig in our feet and root for christ till the end... come what may...
Many of us are comfortable with our current situations and we think it's not necessary to make our stand known. Christians at the peak of Entertainment, etc...
NEYMAR broke that jinx and made his stand known during one of the most keenly watched matched in football history. Will you take your stand?

I TAKE MY STAND...
I'm 100%  for JESUS

THE GAS THEORY

Happy sunday my people I trust you all are having a great day? I had a beautiful time at PRAISE BANQUET this morning and I am happy I was there.



Today's topic is as usual very somehow... That is typical of me so it should come as no shock to you. However, let me give you details.

Yesterday I visited a friend very close of mine who just went through a surgery, and I learnt something new. A surgery is not said to be successful until the patient passes out gas.
Shuo... so until person mess doctor go still dey fear say the person still fit die? Which kine world be this? Na him my friends go dey complain anytime I mess?

Mhen my people the ability to pass out gas is God given and it's something to be continually grateful to God for. So henceforth don't feel ashamed to pass that gas... infact learn to whisper a silent thank you to God for his mercies...
Me I dey on my way to go find out more about the 'Gas Theory'. If you be doctor abeg educate me
Have a fabulous sunday evening and God bless you.
N.B. if una like go mess where your oga or your father in-law dey, just no say na me send you oooo... Get well soon Alice...

HOLD THE FORT

Good morning guys...
I woke up with this feeling that today is gonna be a great day...
As I took my bath and prepared to rush to the office briefly on my way to visit my parents this hymn dropped in my spirit and I thought to share...

Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

Refrain:“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”

See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!

See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.

Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Yesso that's it... I pledge my allegiance to holding the fort till christ returns... how about you?
