Simple Secrets to Public Speaking

Public speaking is a topic that can either ignite excitement or induce intense anxiety. An influential speaker communicates confidently, holds the audience engagement, and finishes with a round of applause. A compelling public speaker intrigues the audience, inspires with words, drives attention, and leaves the audience asking for more.

Did you know that public speaking is the #1 fear in America? Multiple studies have showcased that roughly 80% of professionals spend an enormous amount of time in-preparation-for speaking engagements, only to freeze as soon as they walk into the room.

So, what is the secret?

As an experienced public speaker, I have found that the mystery to successful public speaking is simple — the letter C!

CONFIDENCE

An audience can spot uncertainty immediately, sparking disengagement and doubt. Rather than listing with intent, members listen to discredit. Even the best do not always feel confident when their feet meet the stage. Nerves, anxiety, and fear are all normal emotions. What is imperative is appearing confident!

Stand tall (or, if shaky, sit firmly on a high stool).
Smile
Speak clearly and annunciate

When appearing confident, your listener is more likely to take hold of each word, digest content, and feel emotion.

COMEDY

Using humor as an opening ice breaker can loosen the dynamics of a room, especially if the subject at hand is serious. When using comedy during segway transitions and-or closing comments, the laughter generated drives attention, awakens those you may have lost, and creates a link between stage and seats.

Prior research on jokes, practice delivery, and preparation with friends and family — will increase the likelihood of comedic rapport. As a public speaker, growing audience camaraderie is essential to success.

CONNECTION

Every speaker’s intent is for their material to be heard and understood regardless of the subject matter. What coerces intent accomplishment is connection. Compelling the audience to feel your message vs. being seen and heard is how the gap between stranger and friend is bridged.

Using personal examples, topic transparency, visuals, and (if possible) audience interaction as tools, inevitably, room unity will advance to a room of friends and followers.

CAPTURE

Now spoken powerfully and confidently from the heart while utilizing transparency tools and comedy to kindle laughter and deepen audience connection, what remains is to capture.

Audience capturing is when a speaker can secure supporters, followers, friends, and even potential partners following said discussion. Capturing an audience is what separates a speaker from being influential vs. compelling. Capture sets a speaker apart.
