- Inattention: We only truly focus for six hours per week. That’s because attention spans are shrinking. We’re down from 12 seconds in 2000 to eight seconds today. https://www.fastcompany.com/3025114/how-to-be-a-success-at-everything/mastering-the-fine-art-of-getting-to-the-point
- Know what you want to say, memorize your key points Practice in the room in front of people, get familiar with your equipment What you say to yourself matters
- With the stress of performance, you lose your ability. As a rider, I jumped half a foot higher at home so when I go to the show, the jumps looked smaller. Practice it harder and perform it easier.
- Make your speech visual. How? Hands and eyes are crucial parts of communications. If you lose your eyes and hands to notes, you’ve lost the audience. People will watch your hands.
- You have a lot of power in your mind! Change your mind to welcome the feeling of nervousness. That extra boost brings good energy and enthusiasm to your talk!
- Notes on his hands, Open palm gestures build trust consultant Vanessa Van Edwards studied famous TED talks and found that the ones that went viral and became wildly popular featured the speakers who used their hands the most. The least-watched TED talks had an average of 124,000 views and used an average of 272 hand gestures. The top-ranked ones, meanwhile, had an average of 7.4 million views and 465 hand gestures during the same length of time.
