As human beings we often make mistakes, tell white lies, and secretly desire things we shouldn’t. These actions could be considered sins. However, often they are not considered deadly. As a speaker there are similar actions a speaker could take that absolutely could be deadly and ruin their reputation for life. The 7 Deadly Sins are:

1. Pride - A desire to be important or attractive to others or excessive love of self.

Speaker – Thinking you’re so good that don’t need any training, you act arrogant and conceited. No rapport building with audience.

2. Envy (jealousy) – hating other people for what they have – thinking the person himself should have more, even if it means someone else will have less.

Speaker - Being jealous of other speaker, wanting their speaking engagements. Speaking bad about them. Bad mouthing them.

3. Wrath – Inappropriate feelings of hatred, revenge or even denial.   

Speaker – Hating other speakers, hating your audience, seeks revenge. Making them look bad.

4. Gluttony - Wasting of food either through eating too much food, drink or drugs, misplaced desire for food for it taste, or not giving food to the needy.   

Speaker – asking for more time to speak, stealing time from other speakers. wasting your time to speak, not sharing your good content with your audience. Holding back, being selfish.

5. Lust - Unlawful sexual desire such as desiring sex with a person outside marriage 

Speaker – Desire for what another speaker has, going after that, ie assistant, booking agent.

6. Sloth – Laziness, idleness, and wastefulness of time a person has.

7. Greed – is when somebody wants more things than the person needs or can use. Too much love of money and power.

Speaker – overprices products and services, does not give discounts or money back.
