folks it’s the holidays and this is a great opportunity for you to practice your presenting skills in a very practical way because we have this thing called the toast a lot of people don’t toast as well as they could and I’m going to give you three quick tips to make your toast more powerful and I’m assuming you have something meaningful to say something heartfelt well here’s the idea it’s pretty simple first stand up don’t do your toes sitting down take that moment to draw people’s attention and assume the position of authority secondly take a pause don’t start talking right away to many people talk their way into their toast get up and give that moment of silence let people notice that you’re speaking and checking check in with you and then you will get their attention and third talk to people don’t talk to the group talk to someone deliver your message a few words at a time to specific people and when you do that you’re giving your gift of attention and they are going to feel attended and those three things together standing up taking the moment of pause and speaking directly to people will make your toast the standout toast at your holiday event cheers
