Summary
In this episode, we discuss two listener questions regarding how to identify a reliable source and how to speak without notes.
How to Find a Credible and Reputable Source
Examine the "leaves" people drop.
- In The Noticer, Jones talks about how much you can learn about a tree from one of its leaves. The same is true for people.
- Look at someone's actions long-term.
Be in a constant state of thought and prayer.
- Hone your instincts so you can trust them when looking for truth.
- No one is always right.
Secrets to Speaking Without Notes
You're not just talking to people—you're trying to impact their lives.
- The more you can get away from notes, the better.
- Great speakers connect their head and their heart.
Be friends with your audience.
- Get off the stage and interact with them.
- Speak directly to certain people.
Sit down to plan your speech.
- Outline 3-4 points (along with an introduction and conclusion).
- Cut down your notes.
- Practice without using any notes.
Tune in to hear an update on Andy's new book, The Little Things.
