FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKINGFOR MOST PEOPLE PUBLIC SPEAKING

DOESN’T COME NATURAL

MOST PEOPLE FEAR PUBLIC SPEAKING

SPEAKING IN PUBLIC MAKES THE AVERAGE PERSON EXPERIENCE ALL

KINDS OF FEELINGS, SUCH AS: FEAR, ANXIETY AND STRESS

NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL IS THE SIZE OF THE AUDIENCE.

PUBLIC SPEAKING SHOULD NOT CAUSE STRESS OR ANXIETY

AS CHALLENGING AS PUBLIC SPEAKING SOMETIMES MAY BE,

EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKING CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT EXPERIENCING STRESS OR ANXIETY.

FOLLOWING A FEW SIMPLE GUIDELINES

PREPARATION IS FUNDAMENTAL

•SPEAKING IN PUBLIC REQUIRES SOME CAREFUL PREPARATION EVEN WHEN THE PERSON IS AN EXPERT ON THE TOPIC. •MANY PEOPLE DREAM WITH HAVING THOSE “A SPEECH TO REMEMBER” TYPE OF EXPERIENCES. INSPIRED FOR THE MOST PART BY THOSE MEMORABLE SPEECHES SEEN IN MOVIES AND “I HAVE A DREAM” LINES HEARD THROUGHOUT HISTORY.• HOWEVER, SUCH THINGS RARELY EVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.

SPEECH PREPARATIONIT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW:WHAT IS THE SPEECH FOR

WHO IS THE AUDIENCE THAT IS GOING TO BE LISTENING TO IT

A SPEECH HAS TO BE APPROPRIATE TO THE EVENT WHERE IT WILL BE DELIVERED TO AND THE AUDIENCE THAT WILL

LISTEN TO IT.

THE AUDIENCEONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS APPROPRIATE

FOR THAT TYPE OF AUDIENCE SO AS TO KNOW WHAT TO WEAR AND WHAT LANGUAGE TO USE

IN THE SPEECH.

THE WRONG JARGON IN A SPEECH COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPEECH•THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SPEECH SHOULD ALSO BE VERY CLEAR•GIVE THE CROWD RELEVANT INFORMATION AND NOT JUST A LOT OF WORDS THAT ARE NOT OF INTEREST TO THE AUDIENCE. •AVOID CONTENT NOT RELATED TO WHAT THE AUDIENCE IS EXPECTING TO HEAR.

WRITING THE SPEECH

WRITING A SPEECH IS ALWAYS AN IMPORTANT PART OF PREPARING TO DELIVER IT IN PUBLIC, BUT UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPEECH WRITING TEAM, IT IS BETTER NOT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WRITING A SUPER COPY.

MOST PEOPLE, IF THEY KNOW THE TOPIC WELL CAN WRITE A GOOD SPEECH

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN WRITING FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, THE CONTENTS OF THE SPEECH MUST BE ORGANIZED WELL• START WITH A STRONG INTRODUCTION• THE REST OF THE CONTENT SHOULD RELATE WELL WITH EACH

OTHER SO AS TO MAKE SMOOTH TRANSITIONS FROM ONE TOPIC TO THE NEXT, UNTIL THE CONCLUSION IS REACHED.

DELIVERYTHIS IS THE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE FEAR; BUT WHEN PROPER PLANNING AND WRITING IS DONE CORRECTLY,

THE DELIVERY PART SHOULD BE VERY EASY.

TIMING IS THE KEY TO PUBLIC SPEAKING• TIMING IS THE KEY TO PROPER DELIVERY, •DON’T READ, THAT MAKES IT BORING. IT IS NOT ABOUT READING A

WRITTEN SPEECH •USE NOTES AS TALKING POINTS TO KEEP TRACK OF THE CONTENT• PUBLIC SPEAKING USING MEMORY IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE, BUT IT

CAUSES SPEAKERS TO SOMETIMES LOSE TRACK OF THE CONTENT AND MISS SOME IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE SPEECH.

PUBLIC SPEAKING IS LIKE RIDING A BIKE, THE MORE YOU DO IT

THE BETTER YOU GET AT IT.
