Lyn Roseman Take your speeches, talks and presentations to a
wider audience and a bigger stage Now You’re Talking
—Lyn Roseman “You’re audience wants to know ‘What’s In It
For Me?’ It’s your job to give them an answer that justifies giving you their time and attention”
Find a Core Message 01
This is your big idea. Your opportunity to bring a
fresh angle to a subject
Deciding on your Core Message
Work backwards Start from the outcome. What should an audience
member leave thinking? Deciding on your Core Message Make it Memorable Short, and often the simplest expression of your idea Write it down It doesn’t exist until it’s written somewhere
What’s in it for the Audience

current behaviour or attitude to a different one Goal: I want the audience to do something differently
Inspirational • Shares a vision of a desirable future •
Stimulates action towards creating that future Goal: I want the audience to feel empowered to do something
It’s a Spectrum
