I responded by saying that speaking is simply a medium, being a great orator means being able to accomplish what you want through a speech. There aren&#8217;t any rules to public speaking, just what is most effective. If you get caught up in mastering a medium as a skill, you may lose sight of the message which is most important.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people confuse medium and message when it comes to their identity. These people define themselves as programmers, speakers or business owners. Although that is a simple way of describing it, these mediums are empty without the message they contain. What does your program, speech or business communicate?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be filler. Without a unique and valuable message your medium is just noise. A beautiful piece of software that doesn&#8217;t have a needed function. A speech that doesn&#8217;t inform, entertain or engage. A business nobody wants to buy from. A bad use of the medium can kill your message, but without a solid message, you&#8217;re just noise.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the rest of the interview, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ericfeng.com\/interview-with-scott-h-young\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging friend, Eric Feng of Public Speaking For All interviewed me recently about public speaking.
