Public Speaking
Mark Kriebel
RI Training Leader and Rotary Public Image Coordinator
The International Assembly brings together many of the best speakers in the Rotary world. We've been informed, motivated and inspired this week, and it is our duty as Rotary leaders to return to our districts and inform, motivate, and inspire our Rotarians. We have heard some great speeches this week, don't you agree?
I have been asked to speak today about public speaking. Research has repeatedly shown that the fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of heights, fear of death, and fear of snakes. One of the most important tasks of district governors is public speaking. You'll be addressing all of your clubs - motivating, praising, and creating connections with each one. Because you are the officer of Rotary International in your district, furthering the Object of Rotary through public relations efforts with the media and a wide variety of community groups is also one of your primary responsibilities. All of these opportunities should be enjoyable, not a struggle. You need to effectively communicate your message, and I'd like to offer a few tips to help you.
It's critical to your success when speaking in public to know a number of things in advance, including the size and makeup of your audience, the audiovisuals, and your allotted time. Often you can't control the audience size or the venue, but you can make sure your message is delivered in the time given. Make every word count, and that means preparing in advance, including rehearsal. I suggest brevity, as fewer words are usually more memorable. Remember the phrases "The capacity of the mind to absorb is limited to what the seat can endure"; "The simpler, the better"; and "Everyone has a photographic memory - some people just don't have any film!!"
As a college student, I had the opportunity to hone may speaking and storytelling skills while studying television and radio broadcasting at Ithaca College in New York. The lessons I learned 40 years ago still apply today. One of my professors in a writing class told me, "Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest. You have to work to make a speech or story great. It doesn't just happen. And let your personality come through: Being like everybody is the same as being nobody." This professor was one of the greatest story tellers of the modern era and taught college students while crafting science fiction stories that were really about the need for social justice. He was Rod Serling, creator of the television series The Twilight Zone. He often mentioned Rotary in his stories.
I still remember his insistence on practice, and on calling on friends and colleagues to evaluate one's performance. Public speaking is performing, and rehearsal with a mentor or friend who can give an honest evaluation and make suggestions for improvement is invaluable. Great public speakers work hard to sound spontaneous.
Three simple tips will help you when you are called on to address a group, whether presenting a Paul Harris Fellowship at a club, giving the keynote address at large community function, or making your official club visit: Be enthusiastic, be sincere, and tell a story.
Enthusiasm for your subject is infectious. When listeners experience your passion through your voice and body language, they will give you feedback. Are they giving you their full attention with eye contact, or are they texting and emailing? it's up to you to pay attention to your audience so you'll know whether they are engaged in your message. If they're not, you can modify your presentation.
As DGE, you'll soon need to share RIPE burton's goals with yor PEs and AGs, with the help of the RID, PDGs, RCs, RRFCs, and RPICs, One of the most deadly speaking habits we have as Rotarians is the use of acronyms. You don't want people who don't know the language of Rotary to think that PETS is a gathering of domesticated animals. Call it what it is - president-elect training seminar - and avoid the other Rotaryisms.
There is power in personal sincerity. If you are yourself, your audience will recognize that and believe you. Successful public speaking is really a conversation with many that seems to be one-on-one with each individual in an audience. A podium can sometimes create a barrier between you and your audience. If you can get out from behind the podium and use the open stage, or use a stool, you can create an illusion of up-close-and-personal with each member of the audience.
Finally, tell a story. There is nothing more powerful than painting a picture with words and taking your audience with you on a journey. All this week we've heard magnificent Rotary stories, and every one of you has a story to share from your own experiences, or a great story you've heard. Rotary moments are particularly compelling.
I joined Rotary in 1977. I've always enjoyed the fellowship and service of Rotary, but I didn't become a true Rotarian until 1999. That June, my club sent two boys from our community, Jason and Daniel, to RYLA. When they returned, I saw firsthand how Rotary had changed their lives. Their interaction with like-minded students interested in leadership and service was inspiring.
Daniel met a girl at RYLA who was planning to become a Rotary Youth Exchange student. He thought that would be a great opportunity, and they both ended up in France the following year, in adjacent districts. Daniel found he had a gift for the French language, and he gave the keynote address at his host district's conference that year. In France. he met a Youth Exchange girl from Argentina, and after his freshman year of college, he spent the summer with her family learning Spanish. Daniel had always been a match and science student, but Rotary opened the door to languages for him. He has lived in China as the South American export manger for a Chinese glass manufacturer. Now fluent in seven languages, he has taught multiple languages at a private boarding school, with a few of his students becoming outbound Rotary Exchange students. Teaching allowed him to volunteer his summers rebuilding schools and working at AIDS orphanages in Africa, India, and Haiti, and he has visited or lived in more than 100 countries.
I saw Daniel last month, and he gave me this as thanks to Rotary for giving him a world perspective. he is now the principal of the American International School in Lesotho, Africa, and today he is Rotarian! And he is my son!
Rotary not only changes lives in developing countries, it changed my son's life, and mine. I will always be a Rotarian, and I know you've found your moment and will tell your story with enthusiasm and sincerity.
Walt Disney said, "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." If you want to increase membership, giving to our Rotary Foundation, and public awareness of Rotary and our good works, it's up to you to inform, motivate, and inspire Rotarians and the general public. And as governor, you will turn your Rotary dreams into reality.
