1. PUBLIC SPEAKING
FOR FUN AND
PROFIT

2. In today’s technologically
advanced world there is
one skill that remains
steadfastly essential to
those who wish to
become successful:
public speaking.

3. What panics most
people is knowing what
to say, and what bores
most audiences is how
the speaker goes about
saying it!

4. Andy Harrington has some suggestions on
how you can be a better public speaker and
radically improve your success at
developing and applying this much-needed
skill.

5. Start with a Question
Start by asking the
audience a question. A
question that engages
them and gets them
responding to you.

6. By asking them a
question and getting
them to respond, you
unite the audience and
set yourself up as the
leader.
Start with a Question

7. Eye Contact
Begin by looking at just
one person, look at their
eyes and speak to one
person at a time. Then at
the end of that sentence
when you would naturally
pause if you were reading
a book, and find the next
individual.

8. Have a series of one-on-
one conversations with the
individual members of the
audience and hold that
gaze until you have
finished that point or
sentence.
Eye Contact

9. You’ll find yourself more
able to focus your
nervous energy, slow
down and connect far
better with your
audience.
Eye Contact

10. Use your hands only if you have to like
when you want to show how big that
opportunity is.
Gestures

11. If you are speaking about an increase, show
them a gesture that reflects this. Use
emphatic gestures and use gestures to
describe things.

12. Inflection and Volume
It is more interesting,
more exciting to listen to
a presenter that has
passion and feeling in
their voice. Speak to your
audience with belief and
you will soon see they
will share that belief.

13. Call to Action
Great speakers enroll
people and lead them to a
decision – something
actionable that they have
to perform to secure their
commitment to what your
message is.

14. One way to do this is to
invite people to “click a
link to find out more” if
you’re speaking online or
“move to the back of the
room” if you’re
presenting live.
