Editor's Notes
- CONFIDENCE CAN BE ACHIEVED BY PREPARATION AND CAN BE SHOWN THROUGH NON-VERBAL CUES POSTURE, FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, AND GESTURES.
- Passion is a strong feeling of enthusiasm for something. In order to effectively communicate your speech, you need to have a passion for the subject. If the subject cannot exhilarate you, chances are that it will not excite your audience. Without passion, your speech is meaningless. Passion elicits emotions that flow naturally. Emotions move an audience and effectively convey the message. Emotions cannot be faked.
- -KNOWING YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES/ KNOWING YOURSELF AS A SPEAKER. To be a successful public speaker, you must first understand who you are and what your strongest qualities are. Most successful speakers work to capitalize on their strengths. Is it humor that adds taste to your presentation? Or is it that storytelling talent? Understanding your strength as a public speaker will enable you to effectively engage the audience.
- The best speakers are natural. If you look at most politicians and business leaders, authentic is what they are not. So it’s little wonder that the public are switched off from listening. Audiences want real humans on stage, warts and all.
- Great speakers think more of their audience than they do of themselves. If you can understand the needs of your audience, you can deliver a talk that will resonate and impress. And a great side effect – if you think more of them you’ll have less space to worry about yourself, which helps your nerves to slide away.
