PUBLIC SPEAKING
TELL ME MORE….
WHAT IS PUBLIC SPEAKING ?
I view public speaking as inherently opportunistic: If you’re speaking
“in public” (i.e. to a group of people) you’re trying to communicate a
message, inform, educate influence, entertain. Whether it’s for
work/school, or perhaps a competition or TED Talk. No matter what,
you are on your way to potentially benefitting from this act, so you
should begin by viewing this as an opportunity, not a ‘situation.’

UNDERSTAND THE AUDIENCE
Learn how to be in Public before you speak in public.
See Public speaking as a Conversation rather than
performance.
DON’T START WITH YOU AS
A SPEAKER
 You listen passively.
 Your face tends to show few signs of approval signs
 You just allow people to take the space when they speak
 You listen to the speaker for a while but you also think
about other things.
 You just look gently at the speaker
…..........
 If the speaker makes a mistake or misses something out we
don’t notice or don’t care.
 We are not thinking poisonous thoughts about the speaker.
BUT W HEN IT’S YOUR TUR N TO
SPEA K, SUDDENLY EVERY THING
CHANGES .
