Secrets of Successful Speaking *)

The next chapters, I decided to join because their purpose is similar to each other.

One study showed that the fear of public speaking — it is the main fear in a person’s life.

Those. fear of public speaking — even worse than the fear of death.

Can you imagine?

With that, the audience — this is not necessarily a crowded concert hall, even one person — your partner in negotiations — it is also the audience.

To be successful in business — you need to be successful in public speaking.

Below I provide the basic secrets of preparation and successful performance:
1. Exercise: move the jaw before the performance, straighten shoulders, imagine if you are wearing an overcoat.
2. State the purpose of the performance. For this purpose, not only can the performance itself. Formulate goal outside of your speech — to find partners, contract, etc. The goal you should start.
3. It is necessary to remove the tension of the audience “friend or foe”. Join the audience, tell you that it connects. You can make a sincere komliment. If the audience seriously, compliment to the environment (office, city, etc.)
4. Address divide into blocks. 20% — introduction. 60% — the main part. 20% — opinion. The main part of the talk about the problem, the solution of which you are going to offer in the climax. In conclusion — a joke, a compliment.
5. Use the phrases in the speech — “What do I feel now,” “When I went to you here.” It unites you with the audience.
6. Factors of impact on the audience: 60% — posture, gestures, visualization, handouts, samples; 30% — how to speak; 10% — what to say. Use verbs in the speech visualization — “let’s see”, “imagine”, “take a look at the situation …”

Pose — center of gravity slightly forward, chin raised, back straight, chest forward. Gesture of greeting should only be directed upward (in no case can not bow down and lowered his head).

Use visual aids to attract attention — movement, facial expression, movement on stage.
7. Interact with your audience — establish eye contact, eye contact. Use contrasting stimuli (slow, fast, loud, quiet). If you want the audience to calm down — Freeze and shut up. Involve your audience — use requests for assistance, ask questions. Tells the audience how to respond — a gesture, a look. Do not speak in front of an audience and speak with her.
8. The structure of the speech. Speak only thing — and not all of you know.
9. Manage your attention. The cycle of human attention — 20 minutes. Then you need to turn your attention to something interesting. And only then proceed.

If you’re really afraid of public speaking, use the most important rule — go on your own.

Begin to speak as often as possible. Practice.

Look for the opportunity to speak whenever you can.

Good luck.
