SpeakerTip #58: Focus on Intention NOT Precision

After investing the time and energy to clarify and organize your message, it can be tempting to want to be precise in what you say; wanting to use the exact words or phrases you agonized over when crafting your message. That level of precision can create a lot of pressure and in fact may limit your ability to connect with you audience. Focus on the intention of your message rather than the precision of your words.

You will still be communicating the same content, but with more passion, credibility and authenticity.
