Some
individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. Do
you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People
want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too
often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public"
at the expense of the "speaking. " Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your
audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the
most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares
about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders
constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's
message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly
serious one.
Your
goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. And like everything else in life, that takes
practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a
consistent basis.
It's rare to hear someone say, "I wish
that speaker had spoken longer. " On the other hand, you probably can't
count the times that you've thought, "I'm glad that talk is over. It
seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience. Always make your
presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your
listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for
your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually
more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the
audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on
your listeners.
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers
because they train to be.
