The Sir Winston Method :

The five secrets of speaking the language of leadership.

> > > > > > > > > Every time you speak, you are auditioning for leadership. (//James C. Humes//)
 * **Begin strongly**. Impress your audience with an opening zinger.
 * **Focus on one theme**. A speech is like a song using a full orchestra. There are many different instruments but it has one dominant melody.
 * **Use simple language**. Toss out the beat - around -the bush jargon and pick up your pace with personal, colourful language.
 * **Draw a picture in the listener's mind**. Transform dry abstractions into powerful pictures
 * **End with an emotion**. Express feeling from the heart when you cap your speech.
