Suggest You - How to Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech - Part Three
You've been there and done it. You've got the tee-shirt and your experiences mean that you can cut so many corners. So you do. It's easier. You respond to all the requests, questions, challenges and mistakes of your people. By fixing them.And after a while two things happen.Firstly - You get exhausted, because everything revolves around you - every piddling decision, people wait for you.Secondly - Remarkably, your people start to leave - or give poor service - or get grumpy. Or all these, and more! How ungrateful, you've done everything for them...You see, fixing things, when they aren't working right, is a very natural instinct to use in business, when we're the boss.This could be a team leader, a manager, a small business owner, or even a senior leader in a bigger organization. Too 'hands-on' happens all over the place.It's human nature to he
I’ve studied hundreds of professional and celebrity speakers and have interviewed many of them. Whether they write and memorize their material up front; or find that over time, certain stories, lines and comedic bits have become memorized, the best speakers have material that, like the lines in a brilliant play, are spoken the same every time.

Interview with Steve Coscia discussing professionalism in the HVAC and other service industries:Today we have Steve Coscia, author of “HVAC Customer Service Handbook”, speaking with us. Steve’s book gives service professional the strategies and techniques required to deliver world-class customer service. Hello Steve.Irene: What inspired you to write “HVAC Customer Service Handbook”?Steve: After performing a few HVAC customer service speeches and writing several customer service articles for HVAC trade magazines I observed how little information there was for the front-line HVAC Rep so I wrote the book. Thus far the book has been very well received by the HVAC trade press.Irene: Tell us about your personal experiences you have had that led you to share your knowledge with others.Steve: I simply taught my HVAC clients to implement the same customer service stra
I was a professional actor in Chicago and Hollywood for 16 years. One of the nice things about being an actor on stage was that someone else had done the hard creative work of writing the play. The playwright had spent hundreds if not thousands of hours getting the mechanics right. Once the play was cast and rehearsals started, our job was to add the emotional and spiritual elements, the dynamics.
Phase One and Phase Two of the Dynamite Speech System focus on mechanics – content and flow. (Phase One: Strategic Design; Phase Two: Creative Development) While there are essential things to learn about writing and creating a dynamite speech from studying these two phases, proper mechanics are not enough. If you want to blow people away, you also have to master the dynamics of speaking.
The dynamics are the intangibles – what people watching refer to as power, presence and poise. These dynamics are the things you do to connect with your essence, that in turn help you connect with your audience. As speakers, we have to know how to create these dynamics. They don’t just happen. Fortunately, there are attitudes, rituals and preparation exercises that you can use to help you master these dynamics and “get in the zone” so that you can truly be amazing.
In this article, I’m going to briefly mention some of the skills that are helpful in mastering the dynamics of speaking.
Two skills that have helped me the most as a speaker come from my many years in theater – knowing how to memorize and rehearse.
Acting is a precise medium. Actors are responsible for delivering each line exactly as the playwright wrote it. Speaking is very different. Much of what is said in front of an audience is “in the moment.” It’s spontaneous and from the heart. Or it is customized and to the point.
There are many similarities between acting and speaking, too. Both theater and a Dynamite Speech can and should be a moving experience. Both can and should be entertaining. And both can and should convey a message.

The well publicised plight of manufacturing companies in the United Kingdom has led to an ever increasing demand for reduction of internal costs and now, more than ever, the focus has been on the cost of supply chains. The nature of supply chains and their structure is however often overlooked, and many of the internal costs can be eliminated by examining the overall supply chain strategy. By developing a supply chain that reflects the needs of the internal customers, many of the previously unidentified inefficiencies can be eliminated and subsequent performance improved.There are three categories of product that can be used to define the supply chain strategy for a typical manufacturing company. Firstly there are the core products that are manufactured on a continuous basis and form the bulk of production volume in any given period. Secondly there are products that are manufactured regul

What business should a mega-brand like McDonald's go into next?Launch McDonalds Coffee Shops!This brand extension will explore and exhaust a new potential market where McDonalds’ brand salience and leverage can be fully exploited. McDonalds is the leader in satisfying customer’s needs through a rigorous system of Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value and by holding a distinctive position that appeals to kids and adults alike.The McD’ Coffee Shops would be ideal in tapping into the coffee cultures that are growing rapidly throughout the globe.

If you want an extra income stream, the best advice (and you'll hear me repeat this one over and over) is to research all of the potential options first. Do more than homework. Do a thesis.I would very much suggest that your research should have two major columns to it. Not pros and cons...this time it should be long term and short term.The short term column is for quick bursts of potential money ideas. Online these could include writing articles for other website owners, joining the latest mlm opportunity, getting involved email programs. Etc. I won't go into all of the options you have for short term blasts of cash...the bigger point is that you have them ready to go. That's your short term extra income stream.Now, the bigger and MUCH MORE IMPORTANT side of your pad is for your Long Term opportunities. Obviously, these are NOT supposed no bring in money right away. Thes

The Dynamite Speech System goes into more detail about how you can add rehearsal and memorization to your speech preparation. In brief, if you want to be amazing, write some memorable lines and memorize them. Find a place where you won’t be interrupted, and rehearse out loud and on your feet. (Listen to Steps 16 & 17 of the Dynamite Speech System for more.)
Another thing that I learned from performing on stage was how to make the transition from my normal walking around personality, to my “show time” personality. I call this “getting in the zone”. The zone is both a state of mind and a state of being. In my experience, it requires physical, mental, emotional and spiritual preparation. The mistake many speakers make is to simply prepare mentally.
Speaking is a physical medium. If you’ve ever had sweaty palms or experienced shortness of breath, you know what I mean. Nervousness manifests in the body. It also attacks the brain and turns it into mush. To ensure that you are at your optimal mental state, you have to work your body.
Have you ever worked out – done any physical exercise that caused your heart rate to accelerate for an extended period of time? If so, you’ve probably also experienced a state of mental clarity while exercising. All of a sudden, you’re finding solutions to problems and coming up with all kinds of great ideas. Does exercise make you smarter? No!
What exercise does, however, is send an incredible amount of oxygen to your brain and increase the endorphins flowing through your bloodstream. This awakens your brain and accelerates synaptic activity. That’s why physical stimulation is essential to enhance our mental preparation.
I suggest two separate routines before you step in front of your audience. One is called the “warm up” routine and takes place upon awakening. The other is called the “show time” routine and takes place in the 15 to 30 minutes right before you speak. (Listen to Step 19 for more.) Both routines include elements of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual preparation.
The last, and most important, step in the preparation process
