Do you have the desire to become a speaker of excellence? Do your dreams take you to the heights of platform greatness? If you have a strategic plan and work hard, those dreams can come true for you. This article gives you a quick snapshot of what great speakers do to achieve excellence in speaking.    306 words.

Do you know what it takes to become a top-performing speaker? Do you wonder how the best platform professionals in the business deliver dazzling performances time and again?

Here are six peak performance strategies that can take you to the top of your game.

1. Discover The World Of Peak Performance And Mental Training. Learn from the best in other fields. Top athletes, soldiers, musicians, actors and artists use peak performance secrets that apply to speaking.

2. Set Up A Lifetime Coaching Program. Continuously work on yourself as a person. Strengthen your ability to handle adversity, be more fully human and to accept and honor all that life has to offer.

3. Expand And Sharpen Your Mental Game Toolkit. This goes beyond stress management 101 - this is peak performance technology at its best. Learn what elite athletes, musicians and speakers do to operate at peak efficiency more of the time.

4. Love The Craziness Of The Speaking Business. Be determined that you will learn how to embrace stress, pressure and the unpredictable nature of the business of speaking. Top athletes crave pressure and rise to the occasion. You can too.

5. Align Your Values, Priorities And Life Goals With Your Message On The Platform. Walk the talk. Be genuine and transparent. Make your speaking an evangelical platform for your life's purpose and mission.

6. Have A Strategic Plan For Recovering From Challenging Events. The Pro Speaking Game is exhilarating yet energy-draining. Create a system for allowing your body and mind to heal itself regularly and to restore energy reserves so you can operate at peak more often.

Make a strategic game plan for becoming excellent on the platform. Work that plan on a consistent basis. You'll see your speaking improve steadily and soon your performances will be closer to the "greatness level" than you ever dreamed.
