			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What makes a good sound-bite? A short concise phrase or sentence that is repeatable. John Lechleiter, CEO of <a href="http://newsroom.lilly.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=384073" target="_parent">Eli Lilly and Company</a>  <a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=LLY" target="_parent">(NYSE: LLY)</a>, used this very good sound-bite in a speech today to the <a href="http://www.uschamber.com/issues/index/health/default" target="_parent">U S Chamber of Commerce</a> :</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;Enc</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">ouraging innovation needs to be the purpose of U.S. health care reform &#8211; not its victim.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>In one sentence, he summed up what his concern is about President Obama&#8217;s health care reform principles. The words &#8220;innovation,&#8221; &#8220;purpose,&#8221; and &#8220;victim&#8221; are particularly powerful. </p>
<p>He explained the result of innovation in simple to understand statistics: that  innovation has helped boost the average American&#8217;s life expectancy from 47 to 78 years, a rise of 66 percent over the past century.  He called that &#8220;unprecedented in human history.&#8221;</p>
<p>HINT:  When you give a speech, make sure you create sound-bites that are repeatable.  Can your audiences retell your main point?  Give them a sound-bite and they&#8217;ll be able to propagate your message.</p>
