Steve MaraboliSome of the most powerful speeches I have given have been delivered in the dedicated silence of my actions.
About This Quote
When you are giving a speech, it is often the case that your tone and delivery are more important than the words that you say. However, sometimes, when you are speaking without the benefit of a microphone or other amplification, your voice is just one among many. When this is the case, you need to make sure that you use your body language to project your message to everyone in attendance. This is known as “body language” and the best examples of it I have seen are found in great leaders who have adopted an expansive stance when they speak. The idea is that people will listen to what you are saying only if they are convinced that your body language signals that you are listening to them.
