Most of us need training<\/a> because:<\/p>\n

\n
1. We are unaware.<\/li>\n
2. We don\u2019t do what we want, or know how, to do.<\/li>\n
3. We don\u2019t practice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   We are not aware of how we come across.\u00a0 We have blind spots.\u00a0 Blind areas.\u00a0 Our education is incomplete.\u00a0 We have not read the great books on the subject of effective speech<\/a>.\u00a0 We have not trained under masters of the art.\u00a0\u00a0 We need to expand our awareness.<\/p>\n

   Even when we know what we should do, or want to do, we don\u2019t do it.\u00a0 Doing it a new way is hard.\u00a0 It takes time.\u00a0 It feels weird.\u00a0 We experience a drop in our abilities before we see a rise.<\/p>\n

   We need a teacher, mentor<\/a>, trainer<\/a>, guru, or coach to keep a tab on us.\u00a0 We need that coach to give us the right tools\u2014the right suggestions\u2014convince us that his or her ideas are the right ones, and then attend to us, patiently, until we are able to make use of the optimal techniques he or she is offering.<\/p>\n

   We need greater awareness of ourselves and of the inherited traditions of highly effective speech, and we need a chance to practice those techniques under the watchful eye of a coach.<\/p>\n

   All top performers have coaches.\u00a0 They used to be called Dutch Uncles\u2014guys you went to for advice.\u00a0 Now the uncles specialize in narrow little areas of life, and get paid for their knowledge and their ability to help you implement that knowledge.<\/p>\n

   You need Dutch Uncles and coaches because this stuff is important, it doesn\u2019t come naturally, and it takes time and effort to make it real.<\/p>\n
