Public Speaking Workshop: 7 Tips for Successful Public Speaking

I don't know about you, but I used to find speaking in public extremely daunting indeed. Again and again I would suffer from nerves and an annoying slight shaking every time I took to the podium or stage to speak. I didn't improve for a long time and I had no idea how to until one day it occurred to me that I wasn't exactly the most prepared person when it came to speaking engagements.

I spent more time worrying about the public speaking speech beforehand, than I did actually using techniques to ensure I was in complete control, and nothing would go wrong.

Here are a set of tips that I have gathered over the years, and I think you'll find them extremely useful for getting rid of pre-public speaking speech nerves.

1. Practice as much and as often as possible. By this I mean, put yourself in situations where you will be speaking in front of an audience. Even if it is just a small audience and a brief few words, practice makes perfect.

2. During the public speaking speech do not apologize. If you think you have made a mistake, continue on regardless. Don't bring attention to a mistake that the audience made not have noticed anyway.

3. Visualize yourself giving the public speaking speech. Before giving a public speaking speech, if you visualize yourself giving the public speaking speech confidently, with a powerful voice, then the public speaking speech will be as successful as your visualization. Visualization is a powerful tool and can be used for anything you plan to do.

4. Understand that the audience wants you to do well. The audience is just as you would be if you were there with them. They want to be entertained, interested and stimulated by your public speaking speech. They certainly don't want you to fail.

5. Get to know the speaking area and the audience first. Walk around the area where you will be giving the public speaking speech and try to talk to as many of the people as possible. Getting to know some of the people will reduce your nervousness and build an early rapport with the listeners.

6. Be prepared, material wise. If you are not 100% comfortable with your topic, then it will show in your public speaking speech through your increased nervousness. Practice your public speaking speech and make sure you know your topic inside out.

7. Use your nervous energy effectively. Channel your nervous energy and turn it into energy so that your public speaking speech begins with a burst of vitality and enthusiasm.
