11. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PUBLIC SPEAKING
AND CONVERSATION
What happens if
your ideas are
out of
sequence? Will
your audience
understand your
ideas?
 Organize your
thoughts LOGICALLY
31/03/2017Public Speaking Class, Afrianto 11

12. Can you present
an idea the same
way to your five-
year-old niece as
you can to your
mother? Can you
present that idea
to an audience of
your peers in the
same way as you
did to your
mother?
 Tailor your message to
your AUDIENCE

13. When you tell a story, do you
just give the facts in a dry
way? Or, do you embellish a
bit, adding a touch of drama
to get your point across and
keep them interested?
 Tell a story for MAXIMUM
IMPACT

14. In conversation, when
the person with whom
you are communicating
gives you a look to
indicate she does not
understand your point,
what do you do? You
rephrase what you have
said to add clarity.
You must do the same
thing in public
speaking.
Watch for and adapt to
feedback.
 ADAPT to
listener
feedback

15. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PUBLIC
SPEAKING AND CONVERSATION
Consider this:
Public Speaking is generally pre-
arranged -- at a pre-arranged time and
place. Conversation can take place
anytime and any place.
 Public Speaking is
more HIGHLY
STRUCTURED
31/03/2017Public Speaking Class, Afrianto 15

16. Consider this:
Public Speaking
situations require a
more polished
presentation – no
slang, no improper
words. Slang,
improper words,
and colloquialisms
can confuse an
audience. In
conversation,
however, these can
be used.
 Public Speaking
requires more
FORMAL LANGUAGE

17. Consider this:
Can you hold conversation
while lounging at the pool?
Can you speak publicly
while lounging at the pool?
What about while jogging?
 Public Speaking
requires a
DIFFERENT
METHOD OF
DELIVERY

21. CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS
If you think you can deliver a
great speech without being
overly nervous, you will.
Get your proper rest and
nutrition.
Partying, pulling all-nighters,
and fasting before delivering
a speech will cause you to
not be at your best.
 Think Positively
 Be At Your Best
Physically &
Mentally
31/03/2017Public Speaking Class, Afrianto 21

22. CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS
Rather than on how
nervous you think
you are.
Deep Breathing
always helps to calm
and focus.
 Concentrate On
Communicating
With Your
Audience
 Take A Couple Of
Deep Breaths
31/03/2017Public Speaking Class, Afrianto 22

23. CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS
Preparing a great
introduction, and
taking it written
word-for-word to
the lectern will allow
you to focus on your
speech, rather than
on nerves.
We tend to be most
nervous when we
first come to the
lectern. This is when
we are most likely to
forget what we
wanted to say.
 Work Especially
Hard On Your
Introduction
31/03/2017Public Speaking Class, Afrianto 23

24. CONFIDENCE
BOOSTERS
Find a few friendly faces
in the audience and begin
your focused eye contact
with them. Remember
that audiences are made
up of individuals.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Using Visual Aids will help
boost your confidence by
placing your focus on
doing something
(displaying, explaining,
and removing the visual),
rather than focusing on
your nervousness.
 Make Eye Contact
With Members Of
Your Audience
 Use Visual Aids

26. CRITICAL THINKING
As a student, you
need to use your
critical thinking
skills daily. As a
speaker, this
becomes even
more important.
Stop and
consider how you
will need to use
your critical
thinking skills as
a speaker.
Critical Thinking is focused,
organized thinking. It deals with
Logic –
 Being able to spot the weaknesses in
other people's arguments and to
avoid them in your own
 Being able to distinguish Fact From
Opinion
 Being able to judge the Credibility Of
Statements
 Being able to assess the Soundness
Of Evidence

27.  We are now living in more diversed
society in terms of cultures, beliefs,
and political background.
 All nations and cultures are now part
of a vast "global village", due to air
travel, immigration, and electronic
communication.

28. CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND THE
PUBLIC SPEAKER
Ethnocentrism
The belief
that one’s
own group
or culture is
superior to
all other
groups or
cultures.
 Diversity and multiculturalism
are such basic facts of life that
public speakers, to be
successful, need to take
account of cultural differences
between themselves and their
listeners.
 Because of this diversity and
multiculturalism, it is
especially important for public
speakers to avoid
ethnocentrism.
