12 Route to be a Confident Public Speaker
Speak from your heart. If you believe in what you say, than
others need to hear it. All confident speakers fall in the
P2 (passion plus persistence). Be sure your speech contains
your most fundamental beliefs and comes from authenticity.
1. Prepare, prepare, prepare!
2. Practice in front of a full-length mirror, for small
groups. Join Toastmasters. www.toastmasters.org
3. Be positive. “I am a nice speaker rainer.”
4. Expect to be nervous. [deep breathe, exercise by walking,
stretch, visualize your success, meditate] Do anxiety your
ally. Increase your energy; heighten your awareness.
5. Focus on your audience. [It is NOT just about you. You are
there to help your audience]
6. Simplify. Use your time sagely and support your
presentation clean and simple so that your audience can
understand what you are saying.
7. Connect with your audience. Look folk in the eye, one
at a time, as you speak to them. The audience wants you to
succeed.
8. Act confident. Smile. Hold your chin up. Stick your chest
out. Once
you do this, you wish feel confident. Remember,
YOU are the authority on the subject and they want to hear
what you have to say.
9. Use humor where
possible.
10. Offer the right message mix (inform, persuade,
entertain, interact)
11. Establish credibleness by the use of facts, statistics,
and stories.
12. Discover from your mistakes. Devising mistakes is part of
your learning process. Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert,
said, “Creativity is allowing yourself to do mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep.”
