Anyone who is going to speak to a group must have specific goals in mind. You need to know what you are trying to achieve, what the audience would like to hear and what you want to get out of the speaking experience.
Whenever you speak to people, the goals you are attempting to achieve are to verbally express your thoughts and ideas, satisfy the listener or audience, and get rewards from the process.
A successful speaker achieves the goals of expression, listener satisfaction and desired rewards. At SpeakUpKids!TM we want kids to be aware of their goals as they pursue success in speaking.
