If a
person wants to become a leader or achieve something in life he
needs to interact with many people. We don’t have to be brilliant or perfect to
become successful speakers. We only have to master the art of public speaking.
Speaking in public means that we would have an audience who will listen to
every word we utter.
The
simple thought of speaking in public is enough to make most people nervous and
can freeze some when it comes to actual speaking. The important thing to remember
is that we are merely addressing a few people with some words of wisdom or
whatever we have to say. Whatever be the number of people we should deliver our
words in the same way. That is we should not get nervous, focus on the task at
hand and get the job done. Few people are good public speakers, but most can do
well if they prepare properly. The key to preparation is to know our topic
inside out. We should take the time to make notes and summarize one’s ideas
into small bits notes and summarize one’s ideas into small bits to make notes
and summarize one’s ideas into small bits of information. expand on these bits
during the speech.
We should try to anticipate possible questions and prepare
answers in advance. The essence of public speaking is that we should give our
audience something of value. If a people in our audience walk away with
something of value, they will consider us a success. Addressing a group of
students taking their first business class is different from addressing senior
management about the company’s business strategy one must gauge the level of
expertise comes of one’s audience and deliver accordingly. As the audience
comes to hear us speak, so what we say should be relevant to them. The
important point that is often forgotten is the room where we will be speaking.
It is very important. We should visit the room beforehand and familiarize
ourselves with the equipment and layout.
Talking
in an auditorium requires a different approach than talking in a small
classroom. We should have a good perspective of the room. Practice makes a man
perfect to become a better public speaker, we need to practice.
We
should focus on the message and must deliver & get our point across. We
should build solid foundations for a successful speech by using our knowledge
of the occasion, the audience and their expectations.
The
important thing about public speaking is no matter how good a job we do someone
will disapprove of either our argument or us. It is human nature to do so.
There will always be a diversity of opinions and reactions as no two fingers
are alike. Therefore we should never attempt to get everyone in our is not for
us to get approval from our audience. It is to give something useful to them.
Humor
is well understood by most of us. We all have weaknesses and when we stand up
in front of others and show that we stand up in front of others and show that
we are not afraid to admit ours, we can create a safe, intimate climate.
Being
humble in front of others makes us more credible more believable and more
respected. People can connect with us more easily. We become “One of them” and
they identify with us. It also sets a tone of honesty and self-acceptance which
people recognize in them as well.
Preparation
is useful for any public appearance. On the other hand, if you know your
subject well or if you’ve spoken about it many times before you may only need a
few minutes to prepare sufficiently. All you might need is to remind yourself
of the two or three key points you supporting facts.
Over
preparation usually means you either don’t know your subject well or you do but
you don’t feel confident about your ability to speak about it in public. -
