SIMPLY BRILLIANT PUBLIC SPEAKING QUOTES!


SIMPLY BRILLIANT PUBLIC SPEAKING QUOTES

You can call me weird.

You can call this an obsession.

The truth is…(And I am not ashamed to admit it)

I am a quote lover! Yes! I finally said it…

I just love quotes! I have always been intrigued by wise words written or spoken by anyone. I find quotes interesting, inspiring and uplifting.

I enjoy reading quotes during my free time. And along the way, I found some brilliant ones. Here are some great quotes that I wish to share with you which are relevant to public speaking. I hope you love these quotes as much as I do :)

SIMPLY BRILLIANT PUBLIC SPEAKING QUOTES

1) This one is simply brilliant and amusing at the same time. I totally can relate to this.

A wise man speaks because he has something to say. In public speaking, it is always important to know why you wish to speak in the first place. There must be a reason, a purpose and meaning in giving a speech or delivering a presentation. There must be some content, substance and message in what you are saying. And a fool will speak because he has to say something…even if he has no significant points to make.

2) ….”People will never forget how you make them feel”…this quote is about making connection. When you deliver a speech, it is always about the audience. If you are not able to connect emotionally with your audience, you will not be able to inspire, persuade and motivate them. 

Your audience will forget the data, numbers and information you have given them after a while. However, if you touched their hearts and make them feel their emotions, they will always remember you and the message you shared. Your speech shall be unforgettable.

3) I love this quote. It is about facing your fear of public speaking and challenges yourself to speak. Yes, you will be nervous every time you start speaking. But being nervous is practically normal. 

Having fear is just being human. Feel the fear and face it. Just go through it and get it over with. You will never know until you try. At times in life, you have to take some risks. Ignore those uncertain feelings, avoid making assumptions about what might happen, have faith and just do it!

4) Speak from the heart…I always believe in this. Speaking from the heart is as if there is a bridge connecting from one side to the other. It creates understanding; encourages burning passion and build connections between people. 

The message from your heart is genuine and real. By speaking from the heart, your audience can sense your honesty and sincerity. They will trust you and moved by you. Remember, emotion is a powerful thing.

5) This quote reminds me of myself. I still remember the first time I spoke in front of an audience. I was terrified! I wasn’t very good either. But as time passes by and with lots of practice, I slowly gain my self-confidence and become a much better speaker.

It takes time to be good at something. It takes time to learn a skill. Nothing comes easy in life. You have to work at it no matter what. Nothing happens overnight. Unless if you have magical powers that is…do you?


These quotes are amazing; made by truly amazing people. There are actually many other quotes that I like. But there are too many that I may need to create another blog for all the favourite quotes. Thus I have decided to choose only five. I came up with my own interpretation of the quotes. Nevertheless, everyone has their own definition or so called ‘diagnosis’


So tell me…what is your favourite quote and what does it mean to you?

THE POWER OF EMOTIONS IN A SPEECH

Image
Emotions... Emotions make humans different from the rest. Having emotions distinguish us from robots. Having emotions is what makes us humans. Feelings make us feel alive. Having emotions helps us to understand each other. The feeling of happiness for example, gives us the sense of satisfaction, blissfulness and joy. Anger protects us from other human beings despite the negative perceptions of anger. Sadness helps us to heal and teaches us how to deal with the facts of life. Being scared at times leads us to safety. It all depends on how you see it; positively or negatively. Either way, you can’t live without your emotions . You can feel emotions around you every day. You feel love when you kiss your adorable little boy in the morning. You feel angry when someone took your favourite pen without asking. You feel sad when your best friend forgot your birthday. You feel excited when you go out for your first date. Or any date. Emotions are everywhere. Even the film write...

It goes way beyond that. “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.

WHAT MAKES GOOD SPEECH CONTENT?

Image
Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Why do you listen to speeches? Are you bored and you have nothing else to do? Do you have this weird habit of listening to people talking? Or maybe you are being forced to listen to these presentations by your bosses? My guess is; you listen to speeches because you want to learn something from these speakers. You want to get valuable information. In other words, you are looking for great speech content. Of course, listening to a speaker with good sense of humour may lighten up your day. However, if the speech does not give you what you seek, why do you listen to the speech? Am I right? Now, another question, let say you are the speaker, do you know which one is more important? Is it the way you deliver your speech? Or is it the content of your speech? Well, you know the saying, ‘content is king’. No matter how good you are at delivering a speech, it all comes down to what you can do for your audience. So the real ...
