Tip #20: Borrow Credibility from Another Expert Using a Quote You Can Memorize | 30 Public Speaking Tips

Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. This tip is very specifically worded because it's very easy to misinterpret and actually end up hurting your speech more than helping it. Quotes can be a very useful tool. If you are trying to add credibility to a position or decision you're presenting, directly quoting someone successful with your position or decision can make people think "well it worked for that successful person, maybe it's worth hearing out". So quotes are great, the chasms you can fall into come with how the quote is presented. Putting the quote up on the board, struggling to remember the speech, or misremembering it are all things that may actually hurt you more than help you.Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)
