If you're anything like me, the speech part is fine, it's the questions at the end that's the tricky part.
So, how do you handle questions? How do you deal with difficult questions? What approach should you take to hostile questioners and what do you do when you don't know the answer to the question?
That's what we're covering in this week's episode.

In this episode I want to talk about a very discreet topic, which is how to get people to listen to you when you speak. How do you make people pay attention to you rather than drifting off and daydreaming.
The answer is simple (but that doesn't mean it's easy to achieve).
My answer includes a reference to 'X Factor' and the Oprah Winfrey show.

The Tilbury Speech by Queen Elizabeth I is pound for pound one of the greatest speeches ever given. Short and to the point, it is an early example of an eve of battle motivational speech from a leader, who was powerful and confident enough to share her vulnerability with her troops.
Many of you will know that I am unimpressed with many of our current leaders, so I kind of felt I had to reach back to the leaders of the past for some inspiration.
In this week's episode, I analyse this great speech in 1588 by the Queen of England, looking at the context, strategy, and rhetoric she used to deliver a speech that has literally been remembered through the ages.
No recorded footage of course so here is the full transcript:
THE TILBURY SPEECH - TRANSCRIPT
"My loving people,

We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust.

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm: to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.

I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the meantime, my lieutenant-general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people."
