When Mastering Your Message was created, ‘live streaming’ was not a real thing. Now, it is dominating message delivery. You do not have to do it, but if you would like to here is a little info on what you should do to get started.

Having gravitas is just a fancy way of saying you can speak into important situations as if you belong in the spotlight.  Do you have it? Do you need it? How do you get it if you do not?

You have to master your message creation process and delivery alongside mastering the mediums of transmission that you choose to use.

Even with all of the methods of audio and video that can be used for messaging in this modern age, being in print, whether on paper or in pixels, is a great way to establish clout and a tried and true way to deliver your messages.

2020 will go down in history for a lot of reasons, with just one of them being the weirdest Presidential election the United States has ever witnessed. But this is not a podcast about politics. It's about effective messaging. And there was plenty to learn on the build-up to November 3rd, 2020, and beyond.

The simple advice I give to everyone recovering from a failure is ‘try again.’ But if you are working to deliver a message and you have failed to see results through a specific medium, you still need to try again, but you may need to review your message as well.

Giving a message is just telling a story, and like all stories, the more complicated it is, the easier it is to lose listeners. Here is an explanation of the foundation of storytelling to help: the Three-Act Formula.

Just because you are delivering one to many messages does not mean you can not have a little fun in a back and forth dialogue within your delivery. It takes some practice, but when you master having a dialogue within your monologue is a great way to keep people engaged in your delivery.

You can easily get started as a speaker by being a ‘master’ in the topic you want to speak on. But if you think you are a master of many topics, you will find yourself not getting many bookings to take the stage in front of others.

You don't have to be a globetrotting daredevil to draw people in to hear your message. This is truly about hooking in the fish, regardless of bait used.
