Real Manly / A one-sheet field card

One-minute toast.

One real detail is better than ten borrowed lines. Write three beats in your own voice. Practice once; then look at the people, not the page.

01

Name the moment

Who are we here for? Why now? One sentence.

02

One thing you actually saw that reveals a generous or meaningful quality.

03

Give the room the line

A short shared wish, then: “To ___.” Finish here.

□ Is the story true and appropriate for everyone present?□ Can a guest outside the inner circle follow it?□ Have I asked the host about the speaking slot?□ Can I end without an extra paragraph?
