One of the biggest challenges of being a speaker is wondering if you’ve actually made any impact.
Sure, for that block of time you spoke, everyone seemed to have a good time and you caused them to think, but by the next day, has the audience made any changes? For me, if a talk goes well and everyone enjoys it but no one makes any life changes, then what’s the point?
Here’s what I think happens sometimes…
Intentions Are Different Than Actions.
I know what you’re thinking…DUH!
But how often in life do we have genuine intentions to make a change but just never get around to doing it. We want to watch what we eat. We know we should work out. We have good intentions about studying more and goofing off less.
But just because you have good intentions to do something doesn’t mean you’ll actually do it. Your good intentions mean nothing unless you actually do something about it.
What have you had intentions to do but need to combine with action to make happen?
