Five Minute Speech Coach Episode 2: GAPE

Hello,  5 Minute Speech Coach's next episode is out today: it's all about the method of preparation for any conversation.

It’s called GAPE -- or, Goals, Anchor, Practice, Evaluation.

You can use GAPE to prepare for situation that calls for you to present your ideas effectively.

G stands for Goals -- Your goals. What is the point of this conversation for you? Why does it matter? What are you trying to accomplish?  A stands for Anchor. Your anchor is the grounding deep truth that you will come back to over and over again to guide your responses in this conversation.   P stands for Practice. Practice is how you’re going to make sure you get more comfortable with using your anchor -- no matter what’s going on in the conversation.  E stands for Evaluation. Your evaluation is how you’ll know if you achieved your goals or not, and what to do next.   Listen to the Second Episode Here.
