Public Speaking with Self Confidence
Public speaking can be a rewarding
experience that allows individuals to showcase their skills or knowledge in a
public forum. Public speaking
opportunities can allow an individual to help enrich the lives of anyone in the
audience by impressing experiences or information that can have life changing
qualities. That being said, many
individuals suffer extreme shyness or nervousness when faced with public
speaking situations. These situations
can range from large audiences of hundreds or thousands of participants to
rooms with a few people present.
Regardless of the situation, ensuring you have the proper level of
public speaking self confidence will aid you remarkably in this foray.
When it comes to public speaking, possessing
self confidence is a must. If you find
your self confidence low or nonexistent, the best way to boost it up is to
practice, practice, practice.
Individuals with high self confidence have an ingrained sense that they
can handle any and all situations, regardless who is watching or
listening. These individuals are well
versed in their specific subject matter and have a good idea of how they are
going to present the information so that the audience will have the greatest
understanding. Additionally, these
individuals are capable of fielding questions on their particular subject and
can explain the topic on several different levels. If you find yourself unable to do this, begin
preparing for your public speaking opportunity at once. Ensure your knowledge in the topic is high
and seek out to learn as much as you can.
This knowledge will help you indefinitely in both planning your speech
and delivering the speech to an audience of individuals who may or may not be
familiar with it. Furthermore, in depth
knowledge of your subject will aid you immensely when dealing with question and
answer sessions that most likely will follow any public speaking
opportunity. If necessary, ask other
individuals about your topic and be able to explain the topic to individuals of
all levels.
When writing your speech, take care to
analyze your audience. If you are
speaking to individuals who have a great understanding of the topic, you can
clearly use a more in depth approach, more acronyms, and more jargon than if speaking
to an audience unfamiliar with the subject.
Furthermore, know the average age and educational extent of your
audience in order to create a speech that will speak directly to these
individuals. After you have written your
speech, being making notes and prompts to that use can use when giving your
speech in public. Knowing your speech is
written to the best of your ability will boost your self confidence, as will
having the necessary notes and prompts that you can rely on while giving your
speech.
When preparing for your speech, take care
to not memorize the content. This may
seem like a good idea, but can lead to disastrous results. If you find yourself to be nervous before you
present any project or speech to a public audience, you might forget the
content of your speech and be forced to pull it together from memory. Additionally, if you leave out a specific
idea or topic from your speech, your audience may not clearly understand the
topic of point of your presentation. The
best way to prepare for your speech is to make notes that allow cues or special
points you should make in your speech.
Have a general idea of what you plan to say and ensure the content
covers these points. Also, have any
visual materials carefully arranged in the order of presentation so that you
will remember to include all items seamlessly in your presentation. Public speaking should not produce a crisis,
and ensuring your self confidence is high in yourself and your capabilities
will make all the difference in the quality of your presentation.
