头马之旅丨第二次备稿演讲

提醒，文末有＂彩蛋＂。

我统计了一下这次演讲的准备时间大约是7小时，我采取了mentor的建议，把准备演讲的时间分散到四至五天，我的体会是这样做感觉更从容，不会有压力山大的感觉。

总结一下这次演讲的进步

1.在台上即使忘词，也可以比较自然的过渡了。方法就是排练的时候不要求自己完全按照演讲稿一字不差，而是抓住故事的主线就可以，甚至允许自己临场有一些发挥。

2.我敢于厚脸皮地请头马小伙伴帮我提前看稿子，而且他们的反馈对我来说非常有帮助！特别感谢Dan,Brenda和潇潇的宝贵建议！

3.对演讲稿反复修改直到整个结构自己觉得舒服通畅。好的临场表现还是要以此为根基的。

4.有小伙伴反馈我的故事贴近生活，很有激励作用，帮助自己的同时帮助到别人，太棒了。

改善的空间还很大

1.由于排练不够充分，在台上会有一些小动作，显得有些紧张，其实比起第一次，这次真没太紧张。

2.身体语言和眼神接触不够自然，这个需要在镜子面前练习。

3.临时使用了道具，写在了纸上，其实只起到了提醒自己的作用，如果提前打印出来贴在黑板上就更好了，道具要足够醒目，不然反而会分散听众注意力。

4.演讲中更有激情和力量会更好。

写在最后

记得在NMO新会员培训项目中，分享如何在头马快速成长的Allen已经做了140场演讲，相比他，我还有很长的路要走，但是我希望每一次的演讲都能带给自己收获和成长，也希望自己坚持下去，不断挑战自己，演讲数量和质量都要有保证，加油！

我演讲的这一天也是GC俱乐部官员竞选的日子，大家对俱乐部的真爱非常感动我，这里真的就像是一个大家庭，我也希望通过做官员助理熟悉和了解官员职责，自己成长，也为俱乐部的成长贡献力量。我将会是VPE，VPPR 和Secretary 的助理！

期待下一次会议AC马拉松，见识演讲达人们的好机会来了，哈哈哈。

彩蛋:演讲稿Change Yourself

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

Have you ever been in a situation where you really wanted to or had to change yourself? Well, I have one.

My mom came to visit me last month. I felt really excited, after all I haven’t seen her for 9 months since she went back to my grandma’s to take care of her. Meanwhile I felt a little nervous, Why? Because I worried we may fight for trifles like we always did when we lived together.

A typical fight between us went like this:

“Mom, don’t keep the leftovers, just pour them away. It’s harmful to your health.” said I.

“No, no, no! Leave them for me! How dare you waste food like this!” My mom shouted out and continued,” It doesn’t matter, look at your grandparents!” I have to admit my grandparents never wasted even a piece of rice. There is no way for them to throw the leftovers. And the point is that both of them enjoy longevity.

“That’s different!” I was enough of the cliché. So I just grabbed the plate and poured everything into the garbage.

A gentle girl like me is always irritated by my mom very easily. There is something wrong. I realized that I always wanted to change her. Especially when she did something wrong or inappropriate in my view, I would blame her or preach to her like this was good, that was bad, you shouldn’t do this, you should do that. She listened but never changed. I want to change the situation and improve the relationship between us. I don’t want to be an evil daughter any more.

Since I failed to change her, it seems the only person I can change is myself.

I set a three p rule for myself. The 1st P for Proactive (less blame, more action), the 2nd P for ‘Preciation (show my appreciation) and the 3rd P for Pause (press the pause button).

The day when my mom arrived at my home, I was preparing dinner for her. It’s been the first time I cooked since I gave birth to my baby. She wanted to help, but I suggested that she should relax and play with her grandson. She didn’t insist to help. During the dinner, she was so happy and even contacted with my grandma through FaceTime to show off how great her daughter is. I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. When I became proactive, my mom changed from stubbornness to cooperation.

My mom did for me much more than I did for her. I decided to express my appreciation as many times as possible.

One day, my mom put an apple into my bag before I went to work like she always did. Instead of taking it for granted, I expressed my appreciation the minute I came to my office, “Mom, thank you for the apple. I love you.” I wrote a message to her. A few minutes later, mom replied that” Take care of yourself especially when mom isn’t beside you. Health is the most important thing. Remember!” Suddenly tears went up to my eyes. I was touched so deeply and I almost cried out.

Then I dragged the zipper of my bag and reach for the apple. Err? Something was wet in my bag! My mom washed it for me and put it into my bag directly! Suddenly I felt that the blame words were on the tip of my tongue. I immediately press the pause button. I talked with my mom that day after work, just to express my opinion and feeling. The next day I found a peach wrapped by a plastic bag lay in my backpack,

By changing myself, I indirectly changed my mom. I learned that the best way to influence the ones you care about is by changing yourself first.
