TRANSCRIPT:
There’s a saying that goes “ Exceptional public speaking is not about the speaker. ”
Public speaking is the art of communicating your message powerfully and clearly with the aim of inspiring , informing and entertaining your audience.
So here are 5 key points
1.Nerves are natural – as soon as you start thinking more about your audience and what you want to achieve for them the quicker you’ll see those nerves fall away.
- What’s the purpose? What do you want your audience to take away? Have a plan – a road map of where you want to take your listeners
Don’t let perfect get in the way of better – Practice does not make perfect
3 .Don’t read from a script – use dot points -so you can make eye contact and see how the audience is reacting and form a bond with them
- Use story telling – facts and figures will long be forgotten but the impact of a good story will live on with your audience
5.Body language: First impressions matter – When introduced approach the stage confidently – head held high, shoulders back. Pause and Smile at the lectern before beginning your talk.
- Know your subject and know your audience – practice and practice some more
7 Just reading book on body building won’t make you into an Arnold Schwarzenegger – as with PS you have to actually get our there and do it.
