I would add two more things; belief and practice. Most of us struggle with public speaking because we don't have a passion for the subject. People see the passion in your face, they hear it in the timber of your voice. The words are accent points that will come. Public speaking is a skill and skills develops from repetition.

This is so brilliant it is crazy! Intent -> obstacle -> plan -> result!

Great gems: Intent, obstacle, plan, close with the result/climatic scene.

Doesn’t matter what you do. Chances are you need to write. Writing isn’t the easiest thing without a plan. Weak writings confuse and lose people. However, Don’s teachings really make ink dance on the paper, and writing becomes a joy. Thanks, Don!

Just found your content, subbed, I really like your approach and appreciate the daily effort for the content you have posted, tremendous value.

It worked! thank you ...

Thanks Don! Always helpful tips... side note. Loving the iced drink in the background. Gives me an indication of which videos you probably filmed the same day! Props to batching... and having wardrobe changes! Keep em comming my friend.

I love this channel. Great messages to listen to before going to sleep, I’ll let my subconscious do the heavy lifting.

I love how to me, this is a great addition to a previous video where you talked about capturing he audience by starting with an issue. This really is simple and to me what I have seen help the most is practicing the speech, as if you were giving it, over and over. If you want to go a step further practice with distractions going on like music or a podcast.

Love it! Thank you.

Don is my current business crush. 😂 Great stuff Don, love it. I'll be trying this out! Keep up the great content!

That is brilliant, thank you very much for sharing it. I've practiced that right away after watching the video and it worked pretty well.

Can't wait to try this out at dinner. Great way to frame a speech. Thank you for doing these videos.

I'm including these four steps in my speaking. Thank you

Donald, thanks. Great advise, right advise to follow. Keep up the great content !

This is awesome! I'm using this formula ASAP!!

As I listened to Don lay out the framework for public speaking, I was thinking about all the different way of applying this formula in sales. How much easier would it be if you armed your salespeople with this scripts that follow this formula? In writing website content, blogposts, social media posts, following this formula positions you as the "guide", the thought leader and problem solver. Needless to say, I am excited about implementing this framework for my business!

Intent: Get through college. Obstacle: My crap time management skills. Solution: Remove distractions, improve my focus, get stuff done.

Very nice very helpful.

I love public speaking.

Poetics!

just i feel like a important woman talking with this wisdom man in a bussiness meeting in a restaurant :)
