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.
