Presentation and public speaking skills allow individuals to effectively communicate ideas to audiences. These skills include engaging delivery, clear communication, and storytelling abilities. Strong presentation involves using vocal variety, maintaining eye contact, and practicing to reduce filler words. Several activities were outlined to improve aspects of speaking like developing narratives, practicing sales pitches, and continuous storytelling with others. Mastering public speaking takes practice to build confidence addressing audiences.

13. What is Presentation?
• An excellent presentation is 38% your voice, 55% non-verbal
communication and just 7% your content. In other words, your
delivery matters even more than what you say, and this exercise
helps you refine it.

14. Activity 1
•30 Seconds Filler-Free
• Filler words like “uh” “um” and “y’know” not only make your talk more
difficult to listen to, but they also make you seem less prepared and
authoritative. For this exercise, record yourself giving a talk on any topic for
30 seconds, taking care to omit all filler words. Whenever you use a filler
word, start over and try again. Do this exercise ten times, filler-free.

15. Activity 2
•Make a Commercial
• Presentations are all about selling an idea, so you should practice the art of
sales and persuasion to be the best you can be. Choose an item in your home
and create a one-minute commercial about it. Record yourself saying what
makes it special, how it can enhance lives, and why everyone needs that item
in their corner.

16. Activity 3
•Where Did That Name Come From?
• This is another exercise that’ll make you a better storyteller on stage. Pick an
item in your home, like a stapler, and tell a story about how it got its name.
The idea here isn’t to be accurate, so by all means, make something up; this is
just to get you in the habit of finding and developing interesting stories from
anything.

17. Activity 4
•Tell a Photo Story
• Storytelling is critical to engaging your audience and helping them retain the
information you’re sharing. To practice developing narratives, find an
interesting photo online and record yourself presenting a story about it.
Discuss what you think the backstory is, who the people are, their dreams,
their motivations, and anything else that’ll tell a compelling story about them.

31. The Fear of Public Speaking
• The fear of public speaking is called glossophobia.It’s a recognized
psychological condition with symptoms such as:
• Sweating

33. Famous Book on Public Speaking
• Dale Carnegie wrote in the “Art of Public Speaking, 13th Edition”:

35. Seven Important elements of Public speaking
• The seven elements in the communication process that apply to speech are:
1) speaker 2) listener, 3) message, 4) channel, 5) interference, 6) feedback,
and 7) situation. The speaker is the source of information and
communication and is the individual who delivers or expresses their idea on a
topic.

36. • How to Be a Better Public Speaker:
• Confidence is also crucial. Whenever we are uncertain of our abilities to do
good, we feel uncomfortable. So practice public talks, and practice a lot. In
the words of Dale Carnegie,
• “Practice in speaking before an audience will tend to remove all fear of
audiences, just as practice in swimming will lead to confidence and facility in
the water. You must learn to speak by speaking.”

telling a story.

40. Activity 2
• Funny Image Game
• This is similar to the impromptu game, but basically what you do is you give
the speaker a funny image; you can find these easily just searching through
Google and you get them to talk about that image.
• You can pretend it’s their life experience and how this impacted my life or
they can talk about why this image is important and what this image means
or what’s the story behind this image.

41. Conclusion
• The conclusion is the last impression, and is often the lasting impression the
audience has of the speech.
• By ending on a powerful note, the audience is more likely to take away an
overall positive impression of the experience.
• Introductions and conclusions are very important parts of the speech.
