Sometimes you find inspiration in the strangest places. While attending a fundraising luncheon for the local community college, I heard a wonderful speech from a young woman who was a student. It was unpolished yet beautifully and sincerely delivered to a room of about 400 people or more. Sometimes I wonder if we work too hard to deliver the “perfect” presentation when simplicity will do just fine thank you.

I hear ya! I was at a Toastmasters meeting listening to a hairdresser deliver an “icebreaker” speech.Although she was obviously scared half to death, she gave a hilarious speech off-the-cuff and I thought to myself she had better timing and phrasing than some of these toastmasters who’ve been coming here for YEARS!Simplicity is so often overlooked!
