Survey after survey lists The Fear of Public Speaking at the top of the ‘Fear List’ most people have. Some say they would rather die than stand in front of an audience and deliver a speech. This is unfortunate because it holds many back from reaching their potential.
Up to seventy-five percent of the population, to one degree, or another, has this dread.
I’ll bet you’ve been to a presentation and experienced this:
The master of ceremonies takes the microphone immediately after a speaker finishes their talk and says, in an underwhelming manner, “Thanks for coming. Have a safe drive home!”
WOW! That’s a memorable take-away, isn’t it? NOT!
Ending a valuable presentation program like that is unfortunate. Regrettably, this anti-climatic way to draw to a close, a great message from a speaker, is often the norm. It’s done this way because no one, especially the master of ceremonies and others in charge of the event, thought about a better way to end it. I bring you Good News – There is!
The Introduction is an Integral Part of the Presentation.
The Introduction to your presentation is not your Bio!
It sets the stage for the presenter. It is the responsibility of the speaker to write it. The emcee should read it as if they wrote it.
The Introduction should be like the king’s trumpeters blowing their horns in anticipation of the king walking down the red carpet headed towards the throne. The audience should be pumped and ready to hear you!
Your Introduction should answer three questions:
Why this Subject?
Why this Speaker?
Why Now?

You might think small talk is a waste of time, but nothing could be further from the truth. Learning the art of American small talk will build your confidence, help you bond with strangers and most of all, make them remember you! By the end of this workshop, each student will be able to approach any social or networking setting with even more confidence.
Many junior developers and new technologists struggle with feelings of Imposter Syndrome. Here are some tips and techniques to deal with these concerns and manage your job hunt more successfully
In most English-speaking countries, it is normal and necessary to make “small talk” in certain situations. Small talk is a casual form of conversation that “breaks the ice” or fills an awkward silence between people. The ability to make ‘small talk’ is highly valued. In fact, many English students agree that making effective small talk is much more important than knowing correct grammar structures – and rightly so! Small talk gets friendship started and ‘breaks the ice’ before important business meetings and other events.
Even extroverts and closet introverts can benefit from many of these interview secrets. Introverts often feel especially challenged by an interview as any out of the ordinary communication can be worrisome. Given the level of importance attached to an interview, it may really ramp up nervousness and keep them from performing their best. If you are an introvert or want to perform your best during an upcoming interview – apply these interview secrets for a stellar performance.

Are you afraid of Public Speaking? Well here in the first of my QUE-Tips Series, I show you how to overcome your fear of public speaking in 5 SIMPLE steps.
The tips are Quick, Useful and Easy in other words - QUE-Tips!
Do enjoy them and put them into practice and watch you self-confidence grow!
You can speak with confidence. If you follow the pointers
and tips in these coming pages, I have no doubt you’ll
become an accomplished public speaker. That may sound
like a bold assertion but I’m absolutely convinced it’s true.
Everybody can learn to speak well.
Despite this, many people are scared of getting up to talk
in front of an audience. There’s even a technical term for
this: glossophobia. It’s so common that it’s believed to
affect up to 75 per cent of the population, with an
estimated 10 per cent of those at the more extreme end of
the spectrum. If you are one of the many who make up this
number, it may strike you that your glossophobia is
insurmountable. It isn’t. With the right preparation and
support, you can overcome your barriers and stumbling
blocks. In the following chapters I will help you look at
speaking in a fresh way that will dissipate much of the
anxiety and put you in control. I say ‘much’, rather than
‘all’, because some nerves are a good thing. Harnessed in
the right way, they bring the necessary energy to your
performance. They help you to focus and connect.
One of the fundamentals of successful public speaking is
to understand that, no matter how good at it you become,
it’s always the audience that is the star. They’re the focus.
Not you. Later on in this book, I’ll explain how this works
and how to use it to your advantage – because by truly
understanding this, you can boost your self-confidence and
performance. I’ll also be exploring why public speaking is
most definitely not one-way traffic. The best speeches
mirror a conversation, and actively provoke interaction and
reaction.
Branding expert and best-selling author Sally Hogshead knows that we live in a distracted, competitive and commoditized world. According to some research the average attention span could be as low as 9 seconds (the same as a gold fish). You need to demonstrate your value immediately or your listener will be off to the next thing.
Here's 7 strategies to make a brilliant first impression at your next conference, networking event, job interview or meeting.

PREVENT UMM…MID SENTENCE
Slide 23:Ken Robinson's "Do Schools Kill Creativity" speech on Ted has 13 filler noises "umms" or "errs" in his first two minutes. It's been seen by over 35 million people, it's rated as one of the top ted talks and my bet is that no one, apart from me and other public speaking nerds, has even noticed the umms. They will be too busy laughing and enjoying Ken Robinson's talk (I was going to write speech but it's more like a chat).
This will slow your speech down

Roadmap for Teen Entrepreneurs Finding Their WayShonika Proctor
This presentation is for Teen Entrepreneurs who are trying to figure out their 'Why' and where they belong. I presented it for the U.S. Small Business Administration, National Small Business Week 2010. They recorded the audio but need approval from legal. So since I don't think the approval has been made yet, :-P I included the key talking points on each slide (hence why it's a little wordy). The objective of the presentation is to give teen entrepreneurs so guidance, who need support figuring out their purpose or finding their way in business.
PR is essential for Entrepreneurs, but its not easy. Here is a simple reference guide to navigate the confusing world of PR. Meant essentially for those who have little PR experience.
The Elevator Speech is a Mini-Presentation.
Just as an Elevator goes up one floor at a time, the speech should be delivered “by the floor.”
At each stop, the verbal and/or nonverbal signal to look for is, “Tell me more.”
This is mine. Use it as a Template for yours.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
