    About this ebook

      The Instant Speaker - Christian Semlitsch

      experience.

      WHY me?

      At the time I finished school, I found myself unable to follow any discussion. I didn't have any skills in negotiation, presentation or speaking in front of an audience. I did not learn it at home nor was I educated during my time in school.

      As I went to University, I realized that I was missing some mission-critical skills in my life: Speaking. When I dropped out of University 3 years later, there was nothing to rely on than some basics I learned at school - definitely not enough to live a life on my own terms and definitely not enough to get a good job.

      Since I lost confidence in the public education system, I needed to find out how to get the skills I needed and how to move forward in my life. I started with a few hundred bucks in my pocket, just enough to survive a few weeks and to find a job.

      To make the long story short: I took any class I could find that was helpful to move forward to be good in speaking. I started to present in corporates, spoke in public, sometimes I even got no chance to prepare because I had to jump into the gap when another speaker did not show up in time. The more I did it, the more I had fun on stage.

      Until today I lived a life full of challenges, great experiences, failures and success stories. All of which are the foundation to a training that contains several areas from speaking to building self-esteem, finding your purpose, to own an audience and many more aspects.

      I learned all my speaking skills, beside those of 12 other professions, during my life through the school of hard knocks. I went through all the mistakes and failures, learned, changed, adapted, adjusted my language until I got the results I was looking for.

      I spoke in London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Los Angeles, Dubai, Cairo, Bangkok, Dhaka, Bahrain, Zurich, Cologne among others. Today I not only want to spread the word, but I want to help you to become a successful speaker and to avoid the mistakes I made.

      This book is going to give you insights into what is important for a speaker. It will show you how to be in control of your environment and the room. It will give you the structure and some ideas on how to build a powerful speech.

      Today, based on more than 35 years of experience in several industries and as a Leader, I have the ability to train you to become an outstanding presenter and speaker - if you choose me to be your Speaker-Mentor.

      This book is meant to give you a wider perspective of being a speaker. After all, it will never be finished. It will be always under construction as I am as a person, coach and mentor.

      Christian Semlitsch, November 2017

      Power and Language

      The Power of the Word outranges the Power of the Sword. Japanese Saying (Author unknown)

      True Power and the ability to use Language to achieve ones goals is inevitably linked.

      The spoken word can destroy or build, it can motivate or not. Let's remember John F. Kennedy when he set a goal: By the end of this decade, we will send a man to the moon and bring him back safely. A whole nation became motivated and part of a movement: To reach the moon.

      As a speaker you can put an idea, an ideal, a goal, a story into the head of someone who is listening to you. As a master of the word you have to take responsibility for every word you say.

      Your speeches and presentations are persuasive tools by which you can move, even change one persons life, even a whole nation. When you are able to push your ideas into the heads of your audience, you have the power to create change.

      As a human beings we only evolve due to change. Even in those days when almost every information is available to everyone, people need guidance, they need role models and mentors who support them to sift, sort and separate the information in a way they can not only understand but much more apply it to their own development.

      As a speaker you are part of a change. As a great speaker you create great changes. And even if you only changed one life, your life was worth living!

      Why you need to be able to speak!

      Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?

      M. Scott Peck

      Today you need to be able to present yourself, your products and services in a way you are unforgettable.

      If you are not able to be clear in your message, to pitch, you won't be able to position nor to sell anything or to define your life. But in the end you are offering to solve a problem. If not, your audience won't forgive you because you just took their time.

      Selling is not a bad thing although often people are in resistance to it. But we sell every single day. To our spouse or partner when we want to do or get something, to our boss, our co-workers or friends, to our relatives and even to our children. We just name it differently. But in the end, we use specific communication skills that we address to our target people in order to get what we want.

      Speaking defines us as human beings. Speaking and communication is differentiating us from other beings on this world, although all of them somehow communicate too, but not in that very specific way. So why not train these skills in a way we can use them to achieve our goals and dreams?

      If not now, then when?

      If not you, then who?

      It is your life - A life that you can discover, develop and design when you deliver your message, your vision, your story to the world.

      So let's start now.

      Who Are You As A Speaker?

      As a speaker you are not an entertainer, an clown or a news-presenter. Primarily you are speaking about the topics that are important to you, topics you can relate to or even identify yourself with. When you have a mission and speak from the heart, your audience will find your trustworthy.

      There are some essential values you stand for when you enter the field of speaking.

      With your speech you create a safe environment for people to learn, potentially to integrate and to change at some point. You create a clarity that will help them to improve as personalities, as business-people, man or woman, mam or dad etc.

      So when you speak, you stand your ground, you don't compromise.

      Sometimes you need to address specific audiences in a very specific way and the only way to get access to your different target groups is by adapting your speaking-persona and thus your language. President Ronald Reagan was that kind of speaker, and due to his former education he was a master of adapting to his audience, but still being authentic.

      As a speaker you become a Master-Communicator people are looking at. You might become a Mentor to people who aspire to evolve like you did. In that sense you are going to be selfless, which does not mean that you don't get paid, but you act not out of ego.

      Your job as a speaker is to create a relationship with your audience. People need to know, who you are, they need to see you as a person of integrity they can rely on. I often see speakers entering a stage, providing their speech, selling from stage and disappearing again. That behaviour is not an expression of appreciation. It is just disrespectful.

      You create resonance with your speech, by using your stories, your experience, by crafting your speech carefully, building a clear structure and using a language, your listeners can understand, accept and potentially integrate.

      People want you to succeed, but if you are not 100% authentic, they will feel it and look for a reason to stay sceptical and not to buy your ideas nor your services or products.

      When you put every effort in your speech, when you come from the heart, they will feel it. You generate trust and by doing so, you are able to create change.

      What you stand for as a Speaker

      Clarity - by your message, your content and your structure. You provide insights and help your audience to move forward, bridging the gap between years and years of try and fail.

      Authenticity - You stand your ground. What you say is what you believe and what you do in life. Your speech reflects your values, the way you live and speak.

      Truth - You don't spread wrong messages or provide information that is not true. What you provide is the truth, must be researched, and is coming out of your experience and works.

      What it also means that you should walk the talk and not only talk about it. Don't just speak about theoretical topics. Speak from the heart so you always are authentic. Speak the truth and you will never have to think about it again.

      Maybe you think that this is standard. But let me tell you: It is not. There are a lot of fakes and shiny objects in the market. Even if you have to start small, do it in a way
