Public Speaking is simply the act of talking socially or 'publicly', without any act of negative emotional break down and still be able to pass your desired information explicitly to others.
You may say, "Oh man, we've heard this before , -'The social speaking stuff'-Yep, we've heard it on TVs, Radios, even at neighboring streets".
That may be quite true, but you see, even with information; lively ones all around us, in fact more rampant than before, there is still millions, if not billions of folks around the world who becomes so frightened, can't concentrate or even remember what they had planned to say when faced by some crowd.
It may be as small as your peer cliches or as large as some Churches or organizations, but they just can't say anything when they meet imposing eyes staring at them.
Most people who are ranting, behaving that they are good in public speaking are maybe miles away from what they are boasting of.
Not that they are not intelligent themselves but when before others..they are 'low battery shut down' mode.
It may eventually create low self-esteem and jealousy especially when they meet with people who have some Public speaking boldness that they are lacking.
If you're such or have someone who have confided in you or you know is in that pose, then, know that you have got some major solutions handy here!
First and foremost, i will say that this quality is not some gift bestowed on few very endowed personalities... no! we all have this gem in us---- we just need to bring it out from our inner storehouse which resides in us.
Great speakers have this testimony to say and that is, they are inspired more when faced with crowds- in fact, the larger the audience, the more intense they just download their costly goodies to the folks sitting down.
But the truth is that, they didn't start that day................
A man who took one of the greatest armies the world has ever noticed to victory, whose name was called Grant, said that, when he decided to speak for the first time in public gatherings, he felt he had something resembling 'locomotor ataxia' all around his body.
Another example, Charles Stewart Parnel, a great Irish leader, when he began his 'real talking career', was very nervous that he frequently clenched his fist so strongly until his fingernails gorge into his flesh, eventually causing his palm to bleed.
To be able to speak more effectively, you'll need to follow Eight, very simple and non-complex steps here- ones you can remember anytime or anywhere. At least, you can speak fluently on your wanting to speak language, so we won't add that.
Number one basic step to be a talker in Public speaking is, -Start with a Strong and Goal-getting Desire !
In fact, if you don't have or let me say cultivate any useful desire from the depth of your heart pushing forward your speech, then, your achievement will be watery and down-zeroed !
So just increase and boost 'YOU', by enumerating or calculating the validity of what you'll accomplish when you speak impartably and convincingly to the audience. Evaluate it in Kuwait and Euros !
See, 'Public talking' will give you some feeling of power; an inner strength, that will make you unbeatable and unstoppable at the end.
Adding financial attainment to being a great speaker and of course, having God as your first, makes you a success. No one can stop such a one.
Secondly, have a thorough know-how of what you intend speaking about.
If you are not well grounded and rooted in understanding what information you want to transfer to your audience, that alone can rob you of your comfort and speaking power!
Sometimes, i would not even look at the reference mini-book i took along with me, because i know what am dealing on.
You will agree with me that, Someone can extensively make people understand to the barest minimum, what he is talking about, only if he has great knowledge of his subject of discussion.
Thirdly, Think it! - Thinking and imagination are so important in public speaking, in fact, they are some birthing place of the very 'Authentic'. Thinkers rule the world i will dare say!
If You know about something, Then think about it! Solutions to life problems, great gimmicks and nuggets are brought about by thinking.
The step after that, which is the fourth one, is- Dream it !---- See, anything you dream about becomes a reality-that's our make up as humans. Anything at all, that is, if you dream defeat, you'll see defeat. You dream Victory, you see and witness victory, Simple!
All the things you see are all traceable to dreams. Someone dreamt it!
The Cars, Huge Buildings, beautiful Jets all around, etc were all brought about by dreamers. They knew the power of dreaming and they invested in it and the result was a big 'WOW!'
The fifth one is, Prepare your Talk. When you have thought and dreamt about what you intend to speak, Discuss it with your friends and associates, give your self questions relating to your intended speech.
Questions like, what type of spark will it (the topic you're about to take) ignite economically and socially? How can the defects be amended and changed into some huge solutions for the populace?- These and many others should be your basics for preparing your speech.
Also importantly, study your audience or just intuitiously ask yourself questions about what they want or their wanting-to-solve problems and how your topic poses a glimpse of hope to their wants.
In fact doing that has made your job more easier than ever as you can't bring a topic favoring men and women in their fifties before some youngsters or youngies maximum twenty-five years and expect some miracle to burst through.
Sixth step is, Write them down and occasionally use notes when speaking.
Everyone has the tendency to forget, it's all part of our human life or nature. Even though it's quite easy to forget, your audience may not need that 'art' that particular time.
I will strongly advise that, you should make use of notes as emergency first aids, not your 'all hope' tools. Because, it's been statistically proven that notes tend to rob about fifty percent of talking interest and intimacy which a speaker and his audience have.
The Seventh step is, Practice! - There is a true saying that, 'Practice makes perfection'. When you practice something, it becomes an integral part of you! In fact, this is the most important part of your pretty exhaustive exercise.
You need cool headedness and nerve control here! So pull it up and explode, giving it your best shot!
Lastly, the Eight step to be a practicing Public speaker is BOLDNESS! Acting confident while on stage is wonderful, but it would not fall down from heaven any-howly! You know it, accept it, believe it and act it!-That is, you make it your life style.
Many times, what gives people some job in a business interview may just be that small but pricely gadget called BOLDNESS exerted by the intended employee in the sight of the employer(s)!
Boldness enlighten your brains-Have you notice that (am talking to the music-gurus here), when you're in your 'Bold state', you sing well and better. Even pitching higher than when you're not?---That's the power of Boldness!--Eve the devil fears BOLD people!
Summarily, i will say that, if you want to be ridden of 'Public Talking Fear', then, know one thing, and that's that fear is born by ignorance and Uncertainty! You know what you can do cause its in you! Always talk positively to yourself. You know why? Because--------YOU ARE A SUCCESS IN PUBLIC SPEAKING!
