State of the Union, 2011
Barack Obama
Have you got a tough message to deliver to the troops? Ever had to deliver a guest lecture? Or been asked to speak for an hour or so at a conference or awayday when much is expected of you?
Listen to this hour from Barack Obama and find out how to do it well.
In summary: be so relaxed and confident from your first words even your opponents know you are on your best game; get everyone on side at the beginning, despite themselves; set the scene with a compelling story as context; then, when they are all in the room, really go for it.
Deliver elegantly, and be reasonable when it’s appropriate; collegiate when it’s called for; and admit you are wrong when necessary.
But really, really go for it none the less.
