May 1, 2008
If leadership is your destiny, delivering a good speech to help you win the election for President of your high school is crucial. Follow these tips to deliver the speech to help you win at the ballot box. (speech topics)
Steps:
- Start by becoming your audience. As president, you should speak to your audience, not down to your audience. It is essential to remember that a leader is not one who controls followers, but someone who is of the people. A leader is one who serves and through their actions produces many more leaders.
- Be honest. There’s nothing peers like more than straight honesty. Open your heart and tell them the truth about you, your goals, and what you hope to do for and with them.
- Be realistic. Set good goals in your speech and clearly outline how you will achieve them. If you have strong goals and a good plan for accomplishing them, others will perceive you as an excellent leader.
- Be welcoming. Always emphasize how approachable you are and how much you want to work for them. People want a leader that works to involve them in decisions and ideas. Everyone wants a voice, make sure your speech says that you will give them that voice.
- Be yourself. Be funny. If you try to be someone else, the audience will know in an instant. Trust that they will want the real you as their leader.
- Be funny. Most of your peers couldn’t care less who wins, so make note of that. You’ll earn their respect and feel they can relate to you.
Sample Speech Structure:
- Paragraph 1: Introduce yourself. Tell about the most important issues/things in life to you as a person and which personality strengths would make you right for the position.
- Paragraph 2: Set your goals and briefly discuss how you will go about achieving them.
- Paragraph 3: Let your audience know you intend to lead through service to them and want them to be actively involved. Let them know that leadership to you means getting your hands dirty right along side them and not being locked away in some room making decisions for them. Let them know you understand them and will always welcome their input.
- Paragraph 4: Finish with honesty. Tell them what the position means to you and why you hope they will give you the opportunity to lead and serve them.
- paragraph 5: Add your slogan or catch phrase for election(this is optional).
Tips:
- Being creative also helps. Always remember, “if you make them laugh, you make them listen.” If you make them listen, your ideas will be heard. This gives you a better chance of winning.
- Don’t promise anything you can’t do. People will be very disappointed and may not vote for you again if you run for something else.
- Use plenty of body language such as hand gestures, however, don’t do too many gestures as this distracts from your speech.
- Also change the tone of your voice otherwise it will make people want to go to sleep and they obviously won’t listen
