SPEECH IS POWER -Tips to become a Powerful Public Speaker

-

“A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.”

Public Speaking is often considered one of the most daunting tasks in our day to day life. It has the ability to make the bravest, nervous. Knees turn to jelly. Unpreceden­ted toilet breaks are needed. Such phenomenon are considered normal when a speech is due.

However, a powerful public speaker will always stand out and make an impact whenever he/she speaks.

Here are some tips to help you

Start looking for what makes successful public speakers so successful. Note their styles and habits and keep them in mind as good examples. There are lots of examples of great public speakers on youtube. You should not try to be a copy of them. Be inspired by them and develop your own unique style.

Get a handle on the importance of personal grooming. The better you look, the more ready and profession­al you'll feel. A lot of people are going to be looking at you - dress to suit your occasion and your audience. Look your best.

If at all possible, check the specs of the room where you'll be speaking. Is it football stadium big or conference room big? What about the sound system? If you'll be using a microphone, it's a good idea to test it beforehand. Also check the multimedia projector. The more familiar you are with your environmen­t, the more comfortabl­e you'll be at the podium.
