If you know me, you've heard about my adoration for the President. Not only is he absolutely handsome but he is articulate, smart, charismatic and powerful. I could certainly go on with a list of adjectives but I won't get carried away.
This morning, President Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. Many critics speculated that this was awarded to him way too early. In a way I can understand their skepticism. He has just become president and has not done nearly the amount of humanitarian efforts as the other recipients. However, his appointment brought a sense of hope and change not only to the USA but to our world as a whole.
I of course tuned into CNN to get a peak of his acceptance speech this morning. In my career as a PR professional, I will probably have to do my fair bit of public speaking. Watching Obama deliver speeches is truly an inspiration. He speaks his words so clearly and uses the proper tone at the correct time. Confidence without being arrogant is very important when delivering speeches and he’s the master of that craft.
I personally enjoy public speaking. Being in front of a crowd is of course nerve wrecking but once I’m up there I can make myself feel at ease. I will continue to watch Obama deliver his public addresses, maybe I should start taking notes.
