As a leader, do you have a stump speech ready to go....just in case?
As leaders, we are often called upon to speak - without advance notice - about any of a number of issues related to our work. For those who can speak readily 'off the cuff'.....congratulations! However, for the rest of us, we may not do quite so well without something prepared.
Think about what's important in your school/organization that you might at some point be called upon to speak about. There will probably be two or three 'hot topics' or issues that come to mind. Collect your thoughts on these issues along with your key messages. Craft them into a few nuggets that could serve as your speaking points.
Keep in mind that you, as the leader, are the face of your school/organization and people look to you for insight, direction, reassurance when things get difficult or tense. Be ready with some collected thoughts.....just in case.....
