You can do so by cultivating five key elements in yourself: 1. Stoke your desire to win by picturing your goals and see ing yourself achieving them: 2. Learn to listen in order to anticipate the needs and expectation expectation of your audience or target group: 3. Know your convictions and show them: 4. Never, never give up, and : 5. Give yourself to the audience by "dropping your mask" and sharing deeply-felt emotion. Be open enough with your listeners so that they don't just hear your words: bring them close enough to catch the fire of your ideas.
