"No Judgement!" Ever heard that phrase thrown around? We use it to assure people that we aren't going to scrutinize or criticize them. So no judgement here! Let's use the word Evaluation instead. For our purposes it represents a more objective approach to seeing the way things are, then using our findings to improve our ability.

Welcome to the final installment of the ESSENTIALS episodes. Episodes 1-9 covered all the critical elements needed to super charge and refine your speaking ability. (2:40) In this installment, we will learn the art of evaluation to tie it all together moving forward. If we don't learn to self-evaluate and improve how we speak, we're holding ourselves back. Quick and consistent self-evaluation will catapult your speaking success.

We unwrap 3 elements of learning effective speaking evaluation. (3:50) Download the EYP EVALUATION GUIDE below. It's a great way to do proper evals of other speakers and your own presentations. Use it and reuse it as many times as you'd like!

1- OTHERS. (4:01) The Evaluation of OTHERS. Now that you've studied the 'bones' of great talks, it's time to study those in speakers and communicators you admire and respect. Learning to identify those tools in the talks and speeches of others will help you discover those tools in yourself.

2- SELF. (7:00) Learn to unpack your own talks. You'll find when you can pat yourself on the back for the things you do right, and then send yourself to a corner for a timeout for the things you need to improve…OK, just kidding. But learning what NOT to do is part of the process.

3- REALTIME FEEDBACK and STRATEGIC PIVOTING. (10:40) When you finally begin to reach the area of true "gear shifting" mid-talk because you sense a need in the audience, then you've entered a refined area of excellence. Only the best and experienced develop this ability. This needs to be your goal.
