Public speaking is cool

You have been doing presentations for a while now. You are really getting the hang of it and you love what you do. Yet, there is something missing. You can’t quite figure it out. You just don’t feel satisfied with your own presentations. You don’t think your presentations were good enough. You don’t think you made enough impact. You want to be better at it. Well, don’t feel bad. Take it positively. We should always improve ourselves from time to time. That’s how we can become great at whatever we do. And by thinking about how to improve ourselves is actually a good way to start. You are making an effort to find out what you can do to become a better presenter. Congratulations! The question is; how to improve the quality of your presentation? 1)Be A Better Quality Speaker In order to improve the quality of your presentation, you must first improve the performance of the speaker which is in this case; you . A good quality...

Tick tock tick tock I looked at my watch. It was 8.15am 20 minutes later... I looked at my watch again. 8.35am… The speaker was supposed to start his presentation at 8.am. Still there were no sign of him. I was not the only one who was waiting for him. There were 200 other participants. We were in the hall since 7.30am Everyone was restless. The organiser apologised for the delay. They say he was the best. I thought he was too… But after 35 minutes of waiting, I began to wonder…. You see, time management is very important. As a speaker, you should avoid being late for your presentation. Unless of course, there was an emergency or something happened which was beyond your control. However, when a speaker or a presenter is always late, I can assure you it’s not a good thing. Why does it matter? Why speakers and time management are inseparable? Why should you (as a speaker) understand the importance of time management? Now let me tell you why. 1) G...

Connection… We all need connection… Don’t you just hate it when you try to surf the internet but there is no Wi-Fi connection? Don’t you just hate it when you go out for your first date and you realised there is no real connection? I know the feeling. It can be very frustrating. You see, connection is very important to us human beings. Without it, there will be no communication. And it’s not just about surfing the internet or getting the man or woman of your dreams… As a speaker or a presenter, do you have any idea how important it is to connect with your audience? Yes, it is very important. If you are not able to connect with them, your speech or presentation will not be effective. To be able to connect with your audience, you need to understand humans or in other words; people. So, what are the ways to connect with your audience? 1) Touch Their Hearts  In our everyday life, we like to be connected with others. We love to communicate with each other...

Speakers. Public speakers. There are many public speakers around the world. Each of them has something to say. Each of them has messages to deliver. Some of them are well known to all of us. Meanwhile some of them remain anonymous and unrecognised. Have you ever wondered why some speakers made great impact while others did not? Why people remember these individuals more than the others? What makes them different from the rest? The question is what makes a speaker unique? Here; I have come out with 3 things that make a speaker one of a kind. Let me know what you think. 1) Brilliant Ideas and Burning Passion Look around you. Read about the greatest speech ever made in history. What did these amazing speakers have in common? Yes. They all shared brilliant ideas and possessed incredible burning passion. All their speeches had a purpose. They created or invented something remarkable. They discovered fresh new exciting theories that no one has ever thought possible. ...

Hi again. It’s been a while since my last post. I was taking a little break from writing my blog. There I was, relaxing and doing the everyday things I do when suddenly I realised something. Something I have never thought relevant before. But here is the truth. You see, we often search for complicated, technical and strategic ways to improve our public speaking skills. We are so ambitious that sometimes we overlook what is in front of us. Do you know that the simple everyday things you do can actually make you a better speaker? You don’t believe me? Are you wondering which simple everyday things you do that I am referring to? 1) READING I cannot stress this enough. A speaker must never deliver a speech without knowledge. A speaker should not deliver a presentation without the accurate information. Reading a lot helps you to become a better speaker because reading provides you with the necessary knowledge. Reading feeds you with the facts of the topics which you a...
