Willing to become a successful speaker? Whether for an audience, your staff, colleagues, your shareholders, or other stakeholders.

Are you using your power benevolently?

As a good speaker, you don’t need to manipulate audiences.

At the same time, you should realize that you must exert control at every turn:

Over the material
The passage of time
An audience’s response
Over your own body
The nature of the audience
Speaking situation,
Your purpose . . .
The emotional context of an event matter greatly

Yet you must also control that most critical of public speaking components:

your body language.
