Best Habits Of Public Speaker's..

Public speaking, whether it’s on a stage or in a conference room, isn’t some magical, innate skill, When you look behind the audience, you’ll see that many speakers have similarities in how they present and perform.

THEY GET IN THE ZONE .

  The single most important thing a great presenter does is carve out a quiet space before stepping out onto that stage or platform. You need some time to mentally rehearse and get ready so you’re energetic and focused instead of frazzled and distracted.

THEY MAKE SURE TO NAIL THE FIRST AND LAST 30 SECOND.

They’re deciding whether they like you or not in the first 30 and you want to plant the seed for the most important thing to put in their heads in the last 30sec. 

THEY TAILOR THEIR MESSAGE FOR THE AUDIENCE.

The best speakers tailor their message for their audiences. Sure, you have information that you want to get across, but why should they care? As she designs her speech or presentation. they keeps three questions in mind for after the end of the speech:

·         What do I want them to know?

·         What do I want them to feel?

·         What do I want them to do?

THEY PLANT THEIR FEET AND USE THEIR BODIES.

Body language is important for speakers, Detz says. Once she’s in front of her audience, she plants her feet to give her a physical sense of balance, which gives her more confidence. Feeling unbalanced by standing on your toes or shuffling your feet can make you feel less confident and will often make you look less confident to your audience.

THEY AREN’T AFRAID OF SILENCE.

A bit of silence can be a speaker’s best friend—embrace it. If  you’re nervous, pause for a minute. Slow down and take a beat to gather your thoughts or to let a bout of nerves pass.

          silence can build anticipation for your next message and get people to refocus if their attention has started to drift. “Most people are afraid of the silence, so they fill the silence with vocal pauses. Instead of using those vocal pauses, if you can use an actual pause, that accomplishes a couple of things.

THEY MIX UP THEIR PRESENTING STYLE.

If you’re giving a lengthy presentation, mix up your presenting style. You don’t want to be a talking head for 30 minutes or more. The brain can only absorb what the butt can endure—and if you’re pontificating for more than 20 minutes, you’ve lost your audience. Ask your audience questions or have them ask you questions, get them moving, or otherwise change up how you’re interacting with them.

THEY DON’T PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE THEY’RE NOT.

          People will sense when you’re pretending or adopting a style that really isn’t   you.  Instead,  be the best you possible when delivering your message.
