THE LIFE CHANGING TECHNIQUES OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you go, and fix it along the way…
If you think about, I'm sure that you'll agree with me that the benefits of public speaking outweigh any hesitation about public speaking you might have. While a public speaking guideline is a great way to improve your skills, there are other ways to get public speaking help (such as listed in this post). So, why not give public speaking a try?
1. BOOSTS YOUR CONFIDENCE:
Although you may be nervous before giving your first speech, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment (along with a sense of relief) when it is done. If the speech went well, you may even receive positive feedback from your peers and your audience--further bolstering your confidence.
If you practice your public speaking skills and continue to give speeches, your oral communication skills will improve. As your skills improve, you'll begin to feel more comfortable (and confident) in your ability to speak well.
2. STRENGTHENS YOUR DEDUCTION CAPABILITY:
Public speaking requires you to work from a premise and draw a conclusion based on the information you've researched. This is called deductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning is another important skill that's improved by the speech writing process. Like many of the other skills strengthened by studying public speaking, deductive reasoning is useful in everyday life.
3. MAKES YOU CALM IN EVERY SITUATION:
Perhaps the public speaking benefit that most transfers to everyday situations is learning to be calm in a stressful situation. For most of us, public speaking is stressful. As you learn more about public speaking, you'll also learn how to calm yourself so that you can successfully make your presentation.
Some of the calming techniques that can help you to get through a public speech are the very same calming techniques you can use to get through many other stressful life situations.
4. CREATES YOUR VISION IN OTHERS:
One of the benefits of public speaking is that you'll become more aware of how others perceive you. If you know how others perceive you, you can work to improve that perception.
Public speaking requires you to pay more attention to your physical presence. Here are just some of the factors you'll learn to control as you improve your oral communication skills:
- Posture
- Tone of voice
- Hand gestures
- Pacing and other nervous gestures
- Interjections like "uh" and "um"
- Clothing choices
