The 3-Step Speech and the Value of Change

It’s been in the works for a while.

I had the urge to write another book, and the urge to add a new element to my public speaking courses. Then it occurred to me that I could do both at the same time.

The 3-Step Speech: How to Build a Message, Feel Confident, and Have Fun was born.

When I wrote the post The (Almost) Seven Year Itch, I was in need of a change. Not because my current classroom methods weren’t working, but because they’d been working the same way for too long, and I was looking for a new way to teach with heart.

I decided I would change my classroom (slightly), and spend more time teaching my students how to get the most of public speaking, rather than how to write outlines and ‘try-to-get-through-the-presentation’ part.

There’s an aspect beyond the research, organization of content, and relaxation techniques that public speaking classes don’t tend to spend a lot of time on. It’s the ‘enjoy-and-keep-doing-this-for-the-rest-of-your-life’ part that really helps to make the class valuable and relevant.

So that’s my adventure for the upcoming school year.

I’m beyond excited to see what my students discover about themselves with this new perspective.

I love a new chapter.
