Public Speaking tip #20 Care more about your audience than your information

To become a better public speaker you have to realise that your audience is more important than your information. So what does that mean? TRANSCRIPT: A simple tip to help you become a better public speaker. Care more about your audience than you do about your information. Many speakers put so much work into researching and crafting their talk that the content becomes the centre of their universe and the audience becomes secondary. Big mistake - don’t fall in love with your information at the expense of those you’re delivering it to. Remember information is just that, information - it takes a person to give it true meaning. Research shows we pay far more attention and retain information much more reliably when what we are being told is connected to an emotional experience. Basically that means weaving your information into a compelling story is a sure fire way to not only get your message across but seat it deep in the minds of those listening. The bottom line - people matter more than information. With that in mind how do we translate that information into the most powerful message? Firstly, after researching and compiling your speech think about the message you want to get across. What do you want your audience to take away from your address? What do you want to be the lasting emotion? When you start thinking like this your voice and your delivery will begin to reflect your passion and commitment. Focus just on the words not the meaning and your talk will be DCB - dull, colourless and boring. Speak from the heart not the head - that’s the way to inform, educate and entertain your audience. and that will set you apart from other speakers.

Public Speaking Tip #19 What Makes A Good Public Speaker

There are a number of elements that go to making a good public speech. Master them and you're well on your way. TRANSCRIPT: What makes a good public speaker? There are many elements to becoming a good public speaker but I’m going to narrow it down to a few Firstly confident body language - you might have the greatest content in the world but if you appear nervous and anxious you are sending all the wrong signals to your audience. Project confidence - stand tall, shoulders back, head held high. make sure you smile before you speak and pause before you open your mouth. And never underestimate the power of the pause throughout your talk. Pause before and after making a major point, pause for emphasis, pause to give time to absorb, pause to add drama Make regular eye contact - work your way around the room - looking directly at a member of the audience before moving on. Eye contact builds rapport, builds trust Remember to speak slowly, good content will be lost in rapid fire speech - talk at a conversational pace -but you can vary it by speeding up or slowing down to make or emphasis a point. Speak clearly and concisely - and try to eliminate filler words umm ahh - you know. Keep you content simple - don’t be fooled into thinking big words and convoluted sentences will make people believe you know your stuff . Just the opposite they’ll lose interest and tune out if you overload them with jargon. It’s better to make 3 points well than overload your audience with too much information. Leave your audience with a call to action - “remember to Vote” play your part in protecting the environment, Join a local sport group etc Video yourself when practising its the best way to see yourself as others will see you - it will help you eliminate any annoying gestures or movements. I believe with hard work anyone can become a good public speaker - work harder and you could go on to be a great Public Speaker.
