Public speaking takes no prisoners. I was attending a Convention in Phuket and the finale was the closing inspirational speech for the week of events.  I had to deliver the same speech myself at the Ho Chi Minh Convention a few years ago.  This is a daunting task.  Actually, when your audience is chock full of presentation's training experts from Dale Carnegie, it is simply terrifying.  The length of the speech is usually around ten minutes, which though it seems shortish, can feel quite long and challenging to design.  Being an inspirational speech, it adds that extra degree of difficulty.  It comes up though.  The organisers ask you to deliver the closing, rousing call to action to fire the troops up for another year.  Are you ready to meet the challenge? There are some key components we must assemble.  There must be one clear and compelling message.  In a speech like this, we can't rattle off the twenty things everyone should be doing.  They can never remember them all and the whole effort becomes too diffused.  It is a single call to action, so what is the action or idea we want to propose.  We might use slides or we may not, it will really depend on what we want to say.  Often in these cases, we can use images very effectively without any words and we supply the narrative during our comments.  Photos and images are powerful for capturing attention and people's emotions. A call to action is an emotional commitment that goes beyond logic.  We need to hit the bullseye of what grabs people's hearts.  This is delivered through stories.  We take people on a journey of our construction.  We plan it such that it leads them to feel what we want them to feel and to think what we want them to think.  This planning creates a funnel effect where we keep pulling people back to our central message. Storytelling technique is a terrific vehicle for the speaker to lead people's hearts and minds.  We populate the story with people who are familiar to the audience.  Ideally, they can see these people in their mind's eye.  They might be people they have actually met or have heard of.  They may be historical events, legendary figures, VIPS, celebrities or people of note who are familiar to our audience.  In Ho Chi Minh for my closing speech at Convention, the timing was such that we had previously suffered from the triple whammy of earthquake, tsunami and triple nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan. I spoke with emotion about that event.  About having a nuclear cloud pass over your head polluting all the drinking water. Of having massive aftershocks every day for weeks, of the relentless black churning oily water engulfing coastal communities, of the chaos and destruction.  I brought that experience alive to drive home my central point. We flesh out the surroundings of the story to make it real.  We are all used to watching visual storytelling on television or in movies, so we are easily transported to a scene of the author's creation, if the words create pictures.  We describe the room or location in some detail in order to transfer minds to that place. We place the event into a time sequence with a peg for the audience to grab hold of, to make the story come alive.  We might do this by nominating the date or we might specify the season or the time of day or night.  This type of context is important because it takes the listener down more layers of the story to make it more relevant.  They can draw on their memory of similar occasions to approximate this story. The delivery is where all of this comes together.  It is a call to action so the speaker needs to get into high gear to make that happen.  There will be an element of theatrics involved for effect.  This is not some dubious, dodgy trick or variant on a parlour game to distract the punters.  No, it is taking the key message and driving it hard through controlled exaggeration.  Our speaker in Phuket, toward the end of his talk, dropped down to the push up position and pumped out twenty rapid fire  pushups on his fingertips. I don't know if you have ever tried this fingertip version, but it was pretty impressive for a man of his age group and was totally congruent with his key point about stress equals strength.  It was dramatic, it was daring, but it also added that X factor to his talk.  There must be vocal modulation too, from conspiratorial whispers to hitting key words or phrases with tremendous intensity.  Gestures will be larger than normal and more dramatic.  The speaker will be eyeing the audience with great intensity, with a fire burning in their pupils of complete certainty of the veracity of the key message.  There will be a level of super engagement with the audience, to the point they are cheering and responding throughout the talk rather than consolidated clapping only at the end. Crafting a key message, a powerful call to action for an end worth pursuing and then wrapping it up in storytelling, delivered with energy and flair, is the formula for success when delivering the closing inspirational speech at your conference.  Make it memorable and don't hesitate about going BIG.

Jan 27, 2023 • #ParamahansaYogananda #yogananda #PurposeOfLife Self-Realization Fellowship Vice-President Brother Vishwananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the science of ridding ourselves of negative habits and developing positive habits, and achieving the greatest dream of the human heart — oneness with the bliss of the Divine.

Oct 21, 2022 #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda​ #InnerPeace Brother Anandamoy (1922 – 2016), a much-loved and respected minister of Self-Realization Fellowship, explains how we can get beyond too much thinking about the future by concentrating instead on the true source of security to be found in communion with the Divine.  He points out that this earth is not our home, but rather a school in which we are to learn that we are immortal souls and play our roles in this drama of creation from that divine and joyful perspective. This talk was given at the 1983 SRF Convocation at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. During this talk on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Brother Anandamoy often refers to Yogananda as “Master,” one who is master of himself, a soul that is one with the Divine and able to guide others on the spiritual path. The Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons were established by Paramahansa Yogananda as a home-study course providing his personal instruction in the meditation techniques and teachings needed to achieve balanced living and to discover our blissful soul-nature.

Apr 16, 2021 #KriyaYoga​ #Yogananda​ #YogaMeditation​ Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Ishtananda gives a talk on humility at the 2009 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, illuminating spiritual principles about positive thinking, especially important during these times, from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Brother Ishtananda focuses on our need to understand and appreciate the power of the mind — as a first step to knowing how we can become an influence for love, beauty, truth, light, and joy in our own lives and for the world at large. “The greatest way of bringing in more light,” Brother Ishtananda says, “is through communion with God in meditation. Each and every one of us can know we are children of that Higher Power. Experiencing this, we naturally become humble light-bearers, realizing it is God's light reflecting through us.” To learn about the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, the comprehensive home-study course created by Paramahansa Yogananda to give his personal instruction on the science of meditation and the art of balanced spiritual living: https://yogananda.org/lessons To read “The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You”: https://bookstore.yogananda-srf.org/p...

Nov 25, 2020 #Yogananda #KriyaYoga #Thanksgiving SRF minister Brother Jayananda discusses positive ways we can approach all life's situations as yogis in order to be successful spiritually: “When we talk about thanksgiving or gratitude, these are attitudes really—ways of thinking, or ways of approaching life.” Drawing from Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings and his experiences with Sri Daya Mata, SRF's beloved third president, Brother Jayananda explains that right attitudes are just as much a foundational aspect of the science and practice of yoga as are right behaviors. He delves into the subjects of karma and justice, positivity of mind, evenmindedness, and practicing the presence of the Divine in daily life; and stresses that no matter what problems occur, we can maintain an attitude of thankfulness to become aware of God's guidance and protection.

I strongly believe that sharing your story transforms not only your audience, but also yourself. You and your audience discover that you're not alone and that change is possible. From the consciousness-raising circles of the women's movement in the 1970s to present-day campaigns for policy and legislative changes, our stories can make a profound difference. My guest today is Karen Keene, who is a pillar of the Orlando, Florida, community. I've known Karen since 2016 when I went through one of the women's leadership programs, Athena NextGen, that she runs. Karen recently graduated from our Thought Leader Academy, where we worked together to create her keynote so she can share her story of courage and resilience to her audiences. In this episode, Karen and I talk about: The tragic event that happened to Karen in March 2020 Finding her purpose and calling Making the decision to share her story through speaking engagements The framework we developed for her keynote Karen's experience in the VIP Day and what she learned going through the Thought Leader Academy About My Guest: Karen Keene's life was blown apart when she was nearly killed in a home invasion on March 8, 2020. But after 23 life-saving surgeries by Orlando Health's Dr. Michael Cheatham, who leads the only Level One Trauma Center in Central Florida, Karen is well on her way to recovery, and plans to work to end gun violence in the U.S. Karen's harrowing experience and the daily struggles she fought to keep moving forward thrust her into finding her true calling. Each of us experiences personal setbacks that can shatter our world and test our endurance. But these tragedies, while agonizing, can be our greatest teachers, the catalysts for transformation. Karen's professional experience spans more than 28 years as the senior marketing executive and public policy expert for international and regional law firms. She has led multi-faceted teams in client development, strategic planning, branding, external affairs, and media relations. Karen is the Founder and Chief Strategic Advisor of ATHENA Orlando Women's Leadership, Inc. To date, 400 women are alumni of the ATHENA NextGen masterclass series and they're rising to the top of Orlando's businesses and non-profit organizations. It's changing the course for how women lead.
