Public Speaking 101
Most Americans fear public speaking more than dying. It is an event that can paralyze the most confident and best communicators. Extroverts and introverts alike struggle with public communication too often falling trap to the infamous Um... or Uh.
Consider these basic principles before the next time you step up to the podium. They all start with C so they should be easy to remember:
Cultivation
Dont expect the audience to hang on to your every word. You need to earn their respect and attention. Be innovative. Be creative. Cultivate their interest with carefully chosen words, gestures, visuals and actions.
Communication
Communicate dont talk. Every word you choose needs to have a purpose. Use them wisely. In addition, make sure every thought and new idea has a transition. Dont jump from concept to concept. Simply, dont make the audience think. Do the work for them.
Captivation
Wow them with visual aids, audio samples, storytelling, etc. Go the extra mile to win them over.
Credibility
Always provide evidence with your facts. Research and do your homework. Remember developing trust with your audience is the hardest, but most rewarding thing you can do when communicating with a group.
Confidence
Someone once said, Success comes when opportunity meets preparation. The lesson here is to prepare and then prepare some more. The more you know your material the more confident you will be. Knowledge is power.
Puts these into practice and you will succeed with your next presentation. I promise.
