Success Wishes to Students Writing Exams
Hello, my dearest students,
Here are my warmest wishes for your ongoing examination. May you enjoy the help of God. May wisdom profit you. And may your result surpass your expectations.
Now, don't forget that an examination is simply a communication of value. Hence, all the rules of effective communication apply:
1. You can't give something out of Nothing. From the abundance of the heart, through studying, you write. π
2. Understand your audience: write for your lecturer and not for yourself. Understand the expectations of your Examiner and write from that perspective. π
3. Mind your language: write with clarity. The hallmark of learning is the full grasp of concepts and issues. Use technical terms in your field that show you are a professional. You are not writing for a layman. But don't overdo it. π
4. Begin with the most important points. When you make sense early, your Examiners will be happy to read the rest. Why do you need to keep them in suspense by keeping the best till last? π€·πΌββοΈ
5. Mind your opening and closing. Even if it is a mathematical equation, a simple statement introducing it can make a difference. π―
6. Pay attention to details. Excellence is seen in details. π₯Έ
7. Don't rush too much. Manage your time appropriatelyβ³. There is no prize for the 1st person to complete the exam, only the person who passes. π₯
8. Have a positive attitude. Rejoice always. ππ»
9. Keep that smile on, it looks good on you. π
I am waiting right here to celebrate your testimony.

SPEAKING WITH PURPOSE
Hello Dear Friends,
I trust you are doing great today.
This has been on my mind for a couple of days, and I thought to share it with you.
As a speaker, your mouth is the worldβs window to your heart. Whenever you speak, people catch a glimpse of your thoughts. πͺ
Anytime you open your mouth, people never see you the same way anymore. π₯Έ When you speak, one of three things may happen:
1. They give you a double-take because they didnβt expect that level of insight π―
2. They are shocked because they expected more π
3. It reinforces what they have always known about (good or bad)π
If you say a word, they believe you have a thousand more unspoken. That is why if wisdom is heard from you, they believe there is more and vice versa.
If you agree, reply with: I will speak with purpose!

A New Attitude for a New Year
Hello Dear Friends,
I am excited to welcome you to our channel in 2026. ππ
Thank God for 2025; now, 2026 must be a lot better. Whatever level of communication we had, we must do better this year. However, it is not about wishing for it, but rather about taking the right kind of action.
Our goal this year as a public speaking channel is to consolidate our learning by adding a LOT of practical sessions. We will drive active communication through exciting activities.
Please make sure that you donβt miss anything.π―
To make the most of this year, whether in public speaking or life in general, we must not approach it in the same way we did last yearπ«. Something must be significantly different.
Here is a personal lesson I learnt on how best to approach a new year: https://shorturl.at/Kd9dm
I look forward to reading what you learnt from it.
Please drop a chat. βπ»

What are Your Speaking Goals for 2026?
Hello Dear Friends,
I trust your week has been great so far.
It is often said that
but considering that we are all lifelong students, and perfection will always remain a goal, I prefer Les Brownβs version:
Any skill you desire but donβt practice will forever remain a fantasy. π€©π΄
When I started lecturing, I decided that every class would serve as a public speaking training for me. So, I have been learning for over 22 years, and I still aim to get much better!π€
Do you desire to become a better speaker in 2026? Then you need to be deliberate. You plan every other thing in your life, so why not your communication skills?π€
If you are serious about this, please do the following:
1. Make a list of 5 areas you would like to improve in your speaking βπ»
2. State what you plan to do to improve and how frequently you will do it π
The list is for your personal development, but if you are willing to share it in the chat, I am sure it will encourage someone.
So, who goes first? π

Chris and Will: I Just Forgot
Chris: Doc, I wanted to be precise in my presentation, so I memorised the entire speech.π€―
Will: How did that work for you?π€·πΌββοΈ
Chris: Well, at first, until I blanked out halfway through the speech. I stared at the audience and they stared back at me.π’
Will: Ah, you had a case of Scriptitis Memorabilis! π
Memorising a whole script may seem like the safest way to avoid mistakes, but it can be a trap for speakers. When your brain is focused on every single word, a single forgotten line can make the whole thing fall apart.
Managing an audience and a mental script at the same time can cause a major distraction. A speaker must be careful not to allow what was meant to help to become an obstacle.π§
Action Points
1. Have you ever memorised your speech and how was the experience?
2. What do you think is the greatest risk of memorising your script?

If I had even the tiniest scrap of advice to give to a young actor who was figuring out how to audition, I would say don't memorize the script... The reality about auditions is that 98 percent of the results has to do with what you are, not with what you did in the audition.

Facts: No Kidding! Risks of Memorising your Presentation
1. Forgetting content because of stress: Among speakers, 77% report that they forget parts of their speech when under stress.
2. Eye contact difficulty: 40% of presenters struggle to maintain eye contact when trying to recall memorised content.
3. Freezing during delivery: Among professionals, 65% admit that they freeze despite rehearsing extensively.
4. Excessive reliance on presentation slides: the use of visuals generates 43% higher retention, which shows that memorising alone is less effective.

A Better Way
DEVELOPING THE DEVELOPER
I have learnt over the years that improvement doesnβt always mean doing more of something, but doing the same thing better.
More effort doesnβt always yield more results. It is critical to continually re-evaluate our situations so we can adjust our approach. And sometimes, you need another pair of eyes; someone who sees things from a different perspective.
Today, I am sharing an article that reminds you that when you notice you are going in circles, you should slow down rather than accelerate.
