“After violent death, most
people fear public
speaking more than
anything else in life”
People Management
April 2002
Planning
Why are you doing the talk? Be clear about your purpose
Find out how big your audience is likely to be & what sort of group
Make notes about your subject
Don’t write your talk word for word
Use small pieces of paper and number them
Powerpoint has a notes & timing feature which may help
Time your talk & practice it
Then practice it again
Think of Threes
Tell people what you’re going to say
Tell them
Tell them what you’ve said

Don’ts
“ ‘Don’t grunt’, said Alice; ‘that’s not at all the proper way of
expressing yourself’ ”
Lewis Carroll

Don’ts
Rush what you’re trying to say – SLOW
DOWN
Read off a sheet of paper word for
word
Fiddle with things - its irritating!
Use inappropriate language for your
audience
Panic

“ In that case," said the Dodo solemnly,
rising to its feet, "I move that the
meeting adjourn, for the immediate
adoption of more energetic remedies – "
"Speak English!" said the Eaglet. "I don't
know the meaning of half those long
words, and, what's more, I don't believe
you do either!“”
Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
In Summary…
Most talks go according to plan
But, you must actually plan unless you are very experienced
You have the support of your audience
Most common mistakes are avoidable
The world won’t end if it does go wrong – just correct yourself and carry
on
