Speech making and delivering speeches

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best


JFK's best speeches. Listen how they resonate with you. Note the passion in the speech and call to action
I am repeating here that as a leader, your biggest resource is your ability to communicate - one on one  and to a group of people. Thus the ability to prepare a speech, or deliver a speech, even extemporaneously would be an advantage.   Many leaders are known to be loquacious and possess the gift of gab, even at times pompous.

Great Leaders were known to be great public speakers:  Hitler, Churchill, Douglas MacArthur, Ferdinand Marcos, John F. Kennedy, especially Barack Obama.  If you do not know how to use your tongue, the power of words, you cant hope to be a leader.  "It is only words, and words is all I got, to take your heart away - Bee Gees

Such was my weakness when I was starting my career as a business manager.  My first task when I became AM at a rural bank was to deliver a speech before school children and teachers for Tipid Movement. (The rural bank was the Tipid Movement - a project of then CBP to encourage thrift early among students).  All that I was able to mutter before a crowd of about 1,000 was "Halina't magtipid sa tipid movement!"  What a shame and embarrassment.

What to expect in the next 3 weeks?

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

It is going to be downhill beginning on the fifth session.  Save for the 3rd reflection paper, and the submission of the final requirement (the AV presentation and the summary of what was learned) it is going to be less tension filled and relatively easy.

What are the rationale (the WHY according to Leader Michael) behind these activities?
