What is Public Speaking ?
The most desirable trait in business leaders-Effectiveness in Communication comes on the TOP
Why Leave the Comfort Zone?-importance of Public Speaking
Speaking in front of Crowd is considered as number 1 fear of the average person. Number 2 was death!!
“There are two kind of speakers , those who are nervous and those who are Liars”
---Mark Twain
Understand the audience
Don’t Start with you as a speaker
But when it’s YOUR turn to speak, suddenly everything changes.
7 ways to improve your public Speaking
Side 15-Craft a strong Narrative- Good speakers are good story tellers , plain and simple (Dhananjya hitrachi- I see something)
Slide 16-Start strong and finish with a song - 'The Power of Words' Mohammed Qahtani, Toastmasters International
2 Truths and A Lie-Activity
Excellence was never achieved within a Length of a Tweet
Be relaxed and confident
Enjoy the Performance- the Audience will reciprocate in kind.
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
Don’t
Limits exist in your Mind..
