The premise of this Toastmaster speech is a “pretend” Keynote Address for a conference and since it was my speech and my conference, I decided the conference would be on motivation and so I developed the speech with that in mind.
My evaluator and the other gave me some good feedback and after listening to the speech this evening, I have some more things to say to myself, but overall, the experience was good. Difficult, but good. Now I just have four more speeches to go in this book, and they are all 15-20 minutes in length.
I welcome any constructive criticism to see how it lines up with the list I already have, but as I said yesterday … be nice.

BRAVO! It got me engaged in the experience and ready to learn. The sound quality was amazing to be recorded in a large room with an audience.
Larry I have noticed many of your motivational examples including this speech are on the theme of people motivating one another and feeding off of this motivation. I think it is ground zero for motivation in any group setting and especially for self-motivation. I have my own theory of the mechanics of this, rooted in human nature, which I call the “Cycle of Engagement.” I would welcome your opinions as well as any others who read this
