WHAT TO AVOID IN A GOOD SPEECH
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
Don’t put your audience to sleep by cramming your speech with facts (in case of an informative speech)
SELF –PROMOTION
Speech making is not synonymous with self –promotion. (I recall a funeral, where the mourners were shocked when the speaker giving the eulogy also made a mention of his exciting new business venture; a case of self-promotion at its worst.)
LOSING FOCUS
The speech should not take focus away from the occasion /event. The main theme should be related to the event.(On being asked to inaugurate a Diwali function don’t expound on your pet topics like, the virtues of rain water harvesting or the importance of trash segregation.)There is a time and place for everything.
MAKING FUN OF OTHERS
Don’t use your speech to get a laugh at another’s expense. Humour is good, but there is a line that one does not cross.
TIME LIMIT
Don’t take advantage of a captive audience and forget that everyone’s listening capacity has limits. Keep your speech short, effective and focussed.
