Hello, fellow new and semi-experienced public speakers. I've been a public speaker for decades and although I'm not interested in making a video about it I thought I'd share some knowledge on what I've learned. Public speaking is a skill you can learn just like you first learned to ride a two-wheeled bike. To learn how to ride a bike you first needed to assemble all the ingredients. [A bike, road or driveway, helmet, maybe knee and elbow pads.] The same is true of public speaking. My experience as a speaker as well as studying other speakers has taught me the four main ingredients needed to give a good presentation. They are: #1] Be comfortable and relaxed. [Duh!] I'll explain how to easily master that. #2] Have respect for your audience. Be sure you are giving them, leaving them with, something of value. #3] Know your subject! You have no right to get up and speak if your knowledge on the subject is less than at least the human average. Study! You don't need to be an expert but earn your right to publically speak about the subject you've chosen. #4] Put yourself into your delivery. Like this video teaches, BE YOURSELF! Honestly, you'll never please everyone but if you try to be someone that you're not, you'll probably end up pleasing no one. Just be your honest self and let the chips fall where they may. Those are the 4 top points I'd recommend. The 4 ingredients that make up a good speech and speaker. Obviously, there are other tips like write your speech and be sure to edit it a few times. Make your speech tight and fast. I'll write a three-page speech and by the time I've condensed my thoughts and edited it, I'll be down to a single page. Tight, fast, and hard-hitting. Your audience deserves no less. I always end a talk with a take-home gift for the audience if possible. Most of my speeches are on science-based self-manipulation practices. So it's easy to offer a take-home gift that if the information is used at home it will improve their lives. Get creative, create a gift. If you are not yet experienced in public speaking you'll need to PRACTICE. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, your speech at least 10 times over 3 to 5 days. After the first day, your subconscious will start working on it and better prepare you for your second day of practice. It's a lot of work but so was learning to ride your bike at the beginning. Later in your career, you'll pick up your bike at a moments notice and just ride it naturally. Okay, so this is the tip that will have you standing comfortably and relaxed while speaking in front of any sized audience. The hardest part to overcome for public speaking is in standing up, breathing, and thinking all at the same time. Everything else can be put together, assembled, or prepared beforehand but how can you prepare yourself to be comfortable and relaxed? Before even choosing your subject, writing/editing your speech, or committing to giving a talk, practice the following exercise. Remember, what we want to achieve is to have you standing up, speaking, breathing, and feeling comfortable all at the same time. #1] to give a good speech one must know their subject. [Everyone knows their ABCs and everyone can count to 60.] #2] Get professionally dressed up, as you would when you're doing the real thing. #3] Stand in your living room, face the couch, and slowly recite your ABCs. [Pronounce each letter as if it were a word. Use body language, use emotions.] #4] Recite your ABCs, then count out loud to 60, then recite your ABCs again. The purpose of this exercise is to get you up on your feet learning how to stand, breathe, talk, and feel relaxed all at the same time. Eventually, your speech will replace your ABCs and counting out loud to 60. If you've done your homework you'll be able to pull it off just as easily. As a bonus, if you can, assemble a few friends who also want to learn this skill you can take turns doing this in front of each other. Listen to each other and offer each other advice on how to improve. If alone, practice your hand and body movements, making eye contact with the couch, and make some occasional pauses in your already fully memorized ABC/count to 60 speech. Within days you'll feel so much more comfortable standing up and speaking out loud. Sorry to say but even after decades of public speaking I still get a nervous rush before every talk but that nervousness - completely dissipates - as soon as I start talking. Public speaking is just another skill anyone can master if willing to do the work. Hope this helps. :) The Geriatric Hippie P*E*A*C*E
I don't mind being "judged" when I request it... example being "Do you think I have what it takes to make it through medical school? Where would I thrive, where would I struggle?" But when I'm judged without asking to be I feel like.....😧 Example..: "You're going to medical school?!? 🤭 What made you decide on that?!? I would never put you and medical school in the same sentence! Oh wow. That's uh, that's something dear! 😂"...... That's when I smile all the way home and then cry into the pillow, turn off the lights and start doubting myself. So there is definitely a difference for me between welcomed criticism vs slapped in the face criticism.
(REHAB TIME!) WATT WEE FEAR THE MOST IS USUALLY WATT WEE MOST NEED TO DO. LIFE IS NOT HAPPENING TO EU. LIFE IS HOW EU RESPOND TO IT. UR THOUGHTS! UR ACTIONS! FACTS OVA FEELINGS!
It’s more of fear of judgement from others in my opinion. And fearing making mistakes. Powerful talk

She is so brave❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍.
Is she even speaking to an audience ? They’re not reacting to her. I believe that was the camera crew clapping. 👏 Nevertheless she gave great advice.
