PLATFORM, PRESENCE AND PERSONALITY
When intelligence test was given to one hundred prominent businessmen it was discovered that personality contributes more to business success than does superior intelligence. This discovery is very significant for the business man, very significant for the educator, very significant for the professional man and very significant for the speaker.
Personality, with exception of preparation is probably the most important factor in public address. In eloquent speaking "it is manner that wins, not words" Rather it is manner plus ideas. It is the whole combination of the person: physical, spiritual, mental, traits, predilections, tendencies, temperament, cast of mind, vigour, experience, training, the whole life. It is the most complex and almost as little understood.
A personality is determined by inheritance and environment and is extremely difficult to alter or improve. Yet we can, by taking thought, strengthen it to some extent and make it more forceful, more attractive.
The subject is of vast importance to every one of us. The possibility of improvement, limited as they are, are still large enough to warrant a discussion and investigation. If you wish to make the most of your individuality, go before your audience. A tired speaker is not magnetic nor attractive.
Don't make the all-too-common error of putting off your preparation and your planning until the very last moment, and then working at a furious pace, trying to make up for lost time. If you do, you are bound to store up bodily poisons and brain fatigues that will prove terrific drags, holding you down, sapping your vitality, weakening both your brain and your nerves. If you must make an important talk to an audience, have a light lunch.
When you have to make an important talk, beware of your hunger. Eat as sparingly as a saint.
How are you affected by Clothes?
An inquiry was sent to a group of people by a psychologist asking them the impression clothes made on them. All testified that when they wear well groomed and faultlessly and immaculately attired, the knowledge of it, the feeling of it, had an effect which, while it was difficult to explain, was still very real. It gave them more confidence, brought them increased faith in themselves, heightened their self respect. They declared that when they had the look of success they found it easier to think success, to achieve success. Such is the effect of clothes on the wearer himself.
What effect do they have on the Audience?
It is common to note that if a speaker is a man with baggy trousers, shapeless coat and footwear or is woman with an ugly bulging purse and with her up showing, the audience has as little respect for that person as the speaker has for his or her own appearance. Are they not likely to assume that the mind is as sloppy as the unkempt hair, unpolished shoes, or bulging hand bag?
A speaker is like an object under a magnifying glass, he is in the spot light, all eyes are upon him. The smallest disharmony in his personal appearance now looms up. A good speaker is the one who is interested in himself and consequently interesting. He talks with more life and spirit. He radiates vitality and animation, they challenge attention
