Pay Close Attention
because you’re about to
         discover
    2 Public Speaking
        Mistakes
      that could be
Killing your Connection
  with Your Audience
Public Speaking Mistake #   1
Telling the Audience
  About
Themselves
Speakers
  sometimes say
    things such
as: “We all let fear
 overcome us and
 kill our dreams”
This may cause some
 audience members
  to think: “I don’t!
   You don’t even
   know anything
   about my life!”
Instead, ask a
     question:
“Have you ever
fear get in the way
of your dream?”
By asking audience
  members, you get
  them to reflect on
their lives which makes
 your speech valuable
   to your audience.
Furthermore, since you’re
not telling your audience
   members about their
 lives, they’re more likely
  to accept your message
    because you’re not
  thrusting it upon them.
Next time, don’t tell
audience members
about themselves.
Instead, ask them a
rhetorical question
Public Speaking Mistake #   2
   Over-
Generalizing
Speakers
 sometimes over-
 generalize. They
say things such as
“always”, “never”,
   “everyone”
For example, I’ve heard a
      speaker say:
“The reason for the high
 divorce rate is because
no-one bothers to learn
 the fundamentals of a
  loving relationship”
That turned me off because
   my mind immediately
       reacted with,
  “That’s not true! I read
 books, attend workshops
 and seminars on how to
have a good relationship!”.
Next time, don’t over-
 generalize. Instead, say
    something like:
  “Too often, divorces
 occur because couples
don’t receive training on
  the art of marriage”
Wrap Up
2 Public Speaking
Mistakes that May
  be Killing Your
Connection with
 Your Audience:
•Telling the Audience
  about Themselves
  •Overgeneralizing
