Dr Capista presents The Role of Self-Confidence in Success posted at The Success Triangle, saying, “If you watch successful people, you will usually find that they are very self-confidant. Self-confidence may have come to these people on account of their success, but usually self-confidence is present in people before they become successful. Once they start working toward success, usually self-confidence and success run parallel, each fueling the other.”

Wow!
Talk about the Rock Stars of Public Speaking!
Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have taken this skill to a new level and shaken up the podium!
Their oratory skills brings to the front the discussion of Delivery vs. Content.
No one questions either of their skills as a speaker, but whether or not they have relevant content in their talks is the talk of pundits everywhere.
I won’t address that, except to say that content should always be substantial, relevant, timely, and easily understood.
That stated, if great content can’t be delivered in a manner that captures and keeps the attention and interest of the audience, the message won’t be received and understood.
Great content plus poor delivery = the audience won’t “Get It!â€
If the audience doesn’t “Get it!â€, the speaker failed.
