How will you make your image and your message work together to make a great speech?

This is one of the most powerful choices you will make in designing your speech/presentation – how you get the image that you project to support your message – how you put the two together.
It may be totally supportive, in that the image is unobtrusive; seamlessly part of the message and the complete package – an incredibly effective combination.
Or you may choose to create an edge, a mystique.
Your body language, your facial expression and gestures, your clothes and your grooming all need to work towards the impact you choose to make. They will contribute just as much as the content, the language and the structure. And they will contribute as powerfully to the impact you choose to make as a person as they do to the impact you choose for your presentation to make.
