I walk into my room, pushing open the tall white door with the gold handle. I take a step in, and look around. I see the dusty rose colored walls, and the LED lights around the perimeter of the room, set to the color blue. I look to my right, and I see the gold XOXO decal on the wall, taking up every square inch of the light pink wall. I look to the ground, and I see the wood floor, the planks of wood under my feet. I look to my left, and see my white nightstand, with a green succulent on it. I see the book "5 Feet Apart" sitting on top of the nightstand, waiting for me to pick it up and finish reading. I look past the nightstand at my bed, with the rose designed bedsheets and the gold canopy outline. I see the white curtains hanging from the canopy. I see the black pillows sitting on my bed, waiting till the time comes for my to lay my head down on them. I look straight ahead, and see the light pink curtains with the light shining through, making my room bright without me having to turn on a light. I suddenly frown, I need something more. I need something to cover up the empty wall next to my windows.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
