Get Out of the Way of Your Message

My father traveled around Arkansas for many years as the state economist giving Estate Planning workshops for farmers and their families. I attended a couple of these workshops and was amazed at how relaxed and natural he was in front of the audience. I asked him his secret!

He laughed and said he made sure his suit was pressed, his notes were prepared and that he didn’t have spinach in his teeth. Then he gave me the real secret! He told me that not one person in the audience was coming to hear him speak. Dad knew the audience was coming because they needed to know how they could preserve their family farms.

Because he recognized he was only the conduit between the audience and a powerful message, he was able to show up without any ego and confidently speak and interact with the audience.

Getting out of the way of his message was a powerful life lesson for me.

A great coach and friend Beverley Wright gave me this formula:

What is your message?
Who needs to hear it?
How can you say it in different ways, over and over,
so that everyone hears and understands it?
