Online Guide to Meeting Assignments
Inspirational
| Purpose |
 |
The object is to
'inspire' by leaving everyone with something to think about, to bring
the audience to a realisation of a truth or to create within each person
a deep-seated acceptance of your thoughts and the desire to live out the
principle(s) you place before them. |
| |
|
|
| When preparing |
|
Devise a mini-speech
that develops an introduction to capture interest, a body that
establishes and consolidates your message, and a conclusion that
reaffirms this. |
|
|
Source material can
be from anywhere, perhaps your own experiences or maybe things you've
read, the life of someone famous or of someone you know, a fable or
piece of received wisdom. |
| |
|
As with all
assignments, prepare and rehearse to ensure correct timing. |
| |
|
|
| Before the
meeting begins |
|
Inform Chairman 1 of
your title, and how you would like him/her to introduce you. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
What to do during your assignment |
|
This assignment
enjoys maximum impact when done with minimal use of notes, which signals
greater internal conviction in what you are saying. This implies
significant preparation. |
|
|
Deliver the mini
speech with due regard to pausing for impact, and to give people a
chance to dwell on the significance of what you have said. |
| |
|
When you are
finished, hand back to Chairman 1. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
That is the end of
your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
