3 Ways To Boost Your or Your Student’s Motivation To Become Stronger, More Confident and More Effective In Public Speaking!

If you want to excel in public speaking, to master the art of conveying thoughts confidently, and maybe even feeling good about speaking effectively, then where you learn and who you learn with is crucial.

Ever been anxious that some peers at school might be holding your child back, (or you at work), from their (or your) true potential? Unfortunately, it's a widespread concern. The environment - the peers they interact with daily - plays a pivotal role in shaping habits. And, as we've discussed, habits are game-changers!

Here's the thing: school (and work) isn't optional. Kids must attend. That means classrooms have a mix of motivated learners and those who’d rather be elsewhere.

Think about this - if you aimed to scale Mount Everest, would you choose a team that’s indifferent or one that’s equally committed to reaching the peak? The answer is clear.

Similarly, for students to thrive in public speaking, they need to be surrounded by other passionate students.

Such an environment fuels motivation, encourages hard work, and fosters the belief that they can achieve speaking prowess.

To stay motivated, consider these steps:

Highlight the Power of Positive Peer Influence: Recognize the immense value of being in uplifting environments and among like-minded students.

Venture Beyond School/Work Boundaries: Seek external public speaking courses or clubs where you or your student can immerse yourselves in an enriching environment.

Encourage Small Group Learning: Connect with peers who share the goal of mastering public speaking, ensuring concentrated, effective learning.

How You or Your Student Can Quickly Become Confident In Public Speaking!

Students who excel in public speaking are 'wired' differently and practice more than most other students - even when they don’t feel like it! Much like top-tier athletes, they train harder and more consistently than their peers.

Here's a truth: Many students don't develop public speaking skills at school. The classroom environment sometimes conditions them to see public speaking as intimidating or even pointless.

If something is perceived as a chore, why would they willingly invest more time in it outside of the school?

But consider this: if students recognize the power of effective communication, why aren't they investing more time in it?

The answer is simple. Often, its importance hasn't resonated with them, so the habit of practicing doesn't form.

Think about brushing our teeth. We don’t necessarily love the act, but we do it. Why? We understand its importance and the consequences of neglect. Over time, it becomes a non-negotiable habit.

The same applies to public speaking. The trick is to re-wire the way students approach it. Make practice an ingrained habit, and the journey becomes simpler.

So, what’s the game plan for you or your student?

Invest outside of school: Provide them with external resources or training on public speaking. This offers accountability and helps cement better practice habits.

Make learning enjoyable: If public speaking feels engaging and fun, you or your student won't label it as 'just another task'.

Set goals: Align them with the power and importance of effective communication. Help them visualize the benefits in real-life scenarios.

The 3 Steps To Help You or Your Student Conquer Public Speaking Fears

Most people fail when it comes to doing well in public speaking or just being confident in talking to people, not because they aren't capable but because they're simply given the wrong strategy to succeed!

That’s frustrating because, think about it: a sports team that prepares for their next game with the wrong plan isn't going to win, right?

So how do you know you have the wrong strategy to nail public speaking or overcome awkwardness in talking to people?

Simple... Do any of these sound familiar?

- Fear of facing an audience and stumbling over words

- A tendency to speak too quickly, losing the listeners' attention

- Anxiety about what others might think of their speaking abilities

That's why I changed my approach and developed my "Expressive Edge Mastery Program".

Once I began applying this with my students, the transformation was amazing.

Here's what you or your student needs to focus on:

First, face and embrace speaking situations. This builds courage.

Then, master the art of delivering clear, engaging conversation or speeches. This captures attention.

Finally, boost confidence with continuous practice. This ensures consistent growth.

These 3 things are fundamental in helping master public speaking and effective, real conversation with confidence.

Just like a boxer preparing for a world championship fight… with the right strategy, their chances of success improve a lot.
