On the Shoulders of Giants
Cathleen Fillmore
Representing thought-leaders/professional speakers for meeting planners and events.
As a speaker, you need to infuse every speech with great passion. Today’s audience KNOWS if you’re speaking by rote.?And so do you!
Think of the impact Patrick Henry, had when in 1773, in Richmond, Virginia, he said “I know not what course others may take but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” ?We all stand on the shoulders of giants.?
Here are some speakers who’ve had a profound impact. ?I heard Dave Chilton (author of The Wealthy Barber) at a conference.?The next year, he spoke again and?I enjoyed the same speech every bit as much.
I heard Alan Weiss, author of the Million Dollar Speaker, speak twice.??His speeches were about how he became successful and how we could as well.?That speech made me rush back to the office and implement changes.?Information = inspiration!
When Jamie Clarke addressed a huge Investors Group convention, instead of racing onstage, Jamie walked out, picked up the microphone and said “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.”?He had us all – several thousand people – in his hand with his brilliant talk about crossing the Arabian desert.?
Jeremiah Brown invited me to hear his speech for Cisco, so I thought I’d pop in online for a few minutes. Forgive me, but I get invited to hear speeches a lot. Yet Jeremiah’s speech about the Olympics was riveting.?I completely related to both his challenges and triumphs. ??
Whose shoulders do you stand on???

2 年We can learn so much from accomplished speakers. Some speakers who I can listen to their recordings repeatedly are Jim Rohn, Ed Mylett and Anthony Robbins. They have such obvious passion and conviction in their teachings that it inspires me and spurs me on to be and do better.

2 年Cathleen Fillmore...I haven't attended a nmoving speech in quite some time, between the last 3 years of domestic entreprenuership, and a long corporate career that rarely brought in outside talent. The last good presentation I attended focused on Army veterans of the Vietnam, Korean and World Wars. Incredible and inspiring.
