Today I am a renowned and top rated Speaker for conference companies (yes, multiple), associations, interest groups, regional conferences, US Government, etc., in the US, Canada, Europe, India and Japan. And, my speech feedback is stellar using the TalkaDot audience feedback app.
I learned and honed by craft, skill, messages, and connection with international audiences through study, reading, and observing 'fabulous' speakers - and dove deep into 'why and how' they enraptured me with their speech, presentation, etc.
This is the 'sweet spot' for all BUSINESS OWNERS seeking to grow their visibility and businessโฆis learning both the foundational and advanced 'moves' in public speaking to 'stand out' from others BY BEING YOU.
THE KEY to confidence and exhibiting thought leadership is by PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE to show your confidence, credibility and likability with your audience.
According to Forbes you have 7 seconds to make a stellar first impression- planned, intentional practice achieves this success for you!
With over 25 years in public speaking, I now implement 'many layers' to my 'practice' routine.
-1-Content and flow
-2-Practice (standing up and present in totality, sections of the talk and the transition to the next stage, yes the shower, walk and the car practice are in my routine also). I practice by myself for timing and presentation and the point below. I also record myself on my phone or in ZOOM.
Vocal variety - I record and listen to myself at the first iteration of the my talk - and determine where to place a pause, volume changes, pace (faster, conversational, slow), enunciation of word that emphasizes a syllable (for example I have a DREEEEAAAAMMMMM. the multiple letters designate holding onto to the letter in this case from Martin Luther King's speech I have a dream during the US civil rights era).
Stage placement of my body
Intentional use of my arms, hands, facial expression, torso, legs - known as body gestures
-3-ENJOY practicing
๐ฅ HOT TIP: Smile and welcome people to your talk/speech -
๐ YOU are amazing and people are looking forward to hear what are going to say!
๐Remember - YOU Can do This.
Comment below how your practice for SUCCESS!
