Speaking to Change Lives
Speaking is a rewarding experience. Nothing is more satisfying for a speaker than giving a talk and then being told afterwards by a listener that his or her words had changed their life. The highest purpose of a speaker is to have such an impact in a listener’s mind. While speaking to entertain and speaking to inform are worthwhile careers for some, speaking to change lives is the ultimate mark of a difference maker. Whether it’s out in the community or inside an organization, difference makers change lives by empowering people through their speech.
Yesterday I was rewarded by an email from a friend who thanked me for speaking to her a few years ago. She went on to detail how her life had been changed and some of the commitments she had made that had transformed many aspects of her life. This was such a beautiful email that I printed it out and stored it carefully in my collection of mementos. It is a rewarding experience to know that even though we may not consciously know the difference we are making when we speak to people, the universe is allowing changes to take place that are making this a better world. What a joy! Speak to change lives today!
