Are you preparing a presentation, but you have never performed in front of an audience? Is it possible to become a good speaker if you have never spoken in front of a large crowd? Are you experienced, but do you want to get better? With a few simple tips, it’s all possible.
Don’t be afraid to speak!
To get the attention of others, it’s important to be able to speak in front of more people. Successful people gain the respect of others, attract attention and promote their career. A good speaker shows not only his professional knowledge but also his intelligence.
We may lose our assets, our friends can get away, but no one can take our knowledge away from us. Experience, knowledge, clear thinking, and sharp vision are the greatest treasures. The ability to express ourselves clearly is one of our most important qualities.
“You know what you’re talking about!”
You have heard that saying before, haven’t you? It’s no coincidence, because a person who is able to express his ideas clearly both orally and in writing, and has a strong presentation style, seems to be knowledgeable on the subject.
And what about you?
The human brain is amazing! In addition to coordinating all our vital functions, the more we exercise it, the stronger it becomes. If you plan well in advance what you want to say, your presentation will have weight. The more you prepare, the more you think through every word, the more effective you will be in influencing your audience.
How to sharpen your mind?
Just preparing for the presentation itself stimulates brain activity and polish your brain. The more you practice, the more you get into a routine of good practice, and the ideas and thoughts you come up with during practice can be incorporated into the final presentation.
Get rid of your fears!
Say a birthday toast to a friend! Take the opportunity to speak, practice! The more you speak in public, the more the fear of performing will be relieved. The constant repetition makes you apathetic, the stage fright goes away.
In addition, you can attend training courses to improve your oratory skills.
Doors open for you!
As Brian Tracy writes in one of his books:
“At about this point in his growth and development, there was a small emergency at his engineering firm. One of the partners had been scheduled to give a presentation to the members of a client company. But the partner was ill and unable to make the meeting. The businessman’s boss asked him if he would prepare and present the company’s proposal instead. He accepted the assignment.
He prepared thoroughly throughout the evening and the following morning. He then went to the client’s office, made an excellent presentation for the firm’s services, and got the business. When he returned to the office, his boss told him that the president of the prospective client had called and thanked him for sending someone to give such an excellent presentation of the firm’s services.
Within a few weeks, he was being sent out regularly to call on the firm’s prospects and clients. He was promoted, and then promoted again. Soon he was a member of senior management and on his way to becoming a partner. He told me that his whole life changed by making a decision to become a good speaker and following up that decision with specific actions.”
How did he do it? He has mastered the qualities of a charismatic speaker.
Boost your self-esteem!
Can you accept yourself? It is a crucial factor which determines your inner and outer life. The more you love yourself, the more positive and open you will be and you will appear healthier and happier to your audience.
Improve your self-image!
The self-image is the “inner mirror” that shows how you see yourself, how you think about yourself before and during an event. The more positive your self-image, the better your performance will be.
Before the presentation, imagine yourself performing at your best!
