Tips for Writers and Speakers
When you are writing or preparing a speech, determine your audience. Those who are younger will want to know what the benefits are; those who are older will want to know the features of whatever you are telling them about.
Ask yourself -
What do I
want them to know?
What do I
want them to do?
When giving out material to build awareness, always have a response device. Always ask people to do something in response.
Pinpoint those to whom the activity or program is aimed - e.g. "calling all parents"-and tell them why they should respond.
Other notes:
Leaders are not always those who are elected. They are
the ones who shape and mold. They ask themselves -
What needs
to be done?
What can I
do?
We already have what God wants us to have - are what He wants us to be - that takes the pressure off what we should do.
