noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Mon, 25 May 2009 21:42:00 +0000

It’s been a while since I published my last post, the reason why is because I was occupied preparing as well as giving presentations over the last month or so. It was such an experience that helped me to garner as well as solidify my knowledge regarding public speaking. A knowledge that I’m going to share with all of you here. What I have in store will surely help you to sharpen your public speaking skills and of course will better your understanding of the real you as a public speaker.

It’s been more than one year since I started sharing my knowledge. So far, a lot of areas have been tackled, from preparation to delivery and from psychological aspects (fear, anxiety, mental preparation…etc) to physiological ones (body language, clothing, personal interaction with the audience….etc). Moreover received many emails from notorious figures in the public speaking area and a lot of them encouraged me to continue in this path because, as they said, I’m doing a great Job. In a personal level, I believe that what Im doing is a way for me to help as many people as possible to successfully overcome their fears to speak in public. many articles published so far and many are in the way .In reality I’m planning to publish more closely regarded secrets in this field, more advance techniques and methods that one would find very easy to understand, implement and enjoy. Just keep an open eye on what is published here in "Publlic Speaking Tips" the coming weeks. THANK YOU

The Art Of Public Speaking : How to to listen

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 23:59:00 +0000

I think that throughout the blog”the public speaking tips», we’ve been focusing solely on the one who is on the spotlight in a public speaking event, forgetting about the counterpart of the speaking game. Listeners are an integrated part and the major player in determining the outcomes of a given presentation. In most cases, listeners do have a great impact on the speaker himself. They may help and greatly inspire the speaker to a peak performance via their careful listening and high connectivity as well as engaging in a constructive Q/A session. This of course aids the speaker to a greater degree to respond and meet their estimations. So far so good?

Success and effectiveness of a presentation have almost as much to do with the audience as with the speaker. Listeners do have an either positive or negative impact on the course of a speech. Some aspects of their negative influences may be translated in the form of intimidating and interrupting the speaker’s focus. This might be an outcome of a lousy audience whose listening abilities are far way poor to cope with and absorb the given material. In reality, studies have revealed that as much as 75% of presentation content is not absorbed by listeners despite the speaker’s considerable efforts to get the message across successfully yet it, in some situations, confronts a disruptive audience.

For us to be among the sort of a supportive audience, we have to outline some tips and hints on how to make our speaker feel home and at ease away from any kind of intimidation:

- Do your homework and prepare what ever needs preparation.

- Be their on time, don’t be a belated.

- Know the objectives so as for you to make effective contributions to easily attain them.

- Shut off the cell phone.

- Listen carefully to whatever being said, don’t interrupt and be driven by rushed conclusions. Wait until the speaker make his point, and if it does not make sense to you, politely ask for further clarifications.

- Be an active listener, respond to whatever being uttered by the speaker be it even a joke, laugh and show your teeth even if it is a corny joke. Be the mirror of the speaker’s content. (Facial expressions, smiles, eye contact, responsive body language, joting down notes).All these behaviors encourage the speaker to carry on his presentation successfully.

In a nutshell, the above public speaking tips on being a great listener will help dramatically the results of the next presentation you attend. just be like the people in the pic above.

The Art Of Public Speaking : Researching your audience

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Without a shred of doubt,Knowing the audience is the first thing that a presenter should take as a priority.The more you know about them,the more interesting the presentation will be to them and the more profitable It becomes for you if you are doing business presentation.On the contrary,If no research have been done.I’m sorry to say that you are leaving money on the table.Just think about it,how can you know what interests them? What kind of information could be helpful for them? And before all that,How can you engage,influence and persuade them? Here are some hints on how to deal with this very sensitive stage.

-The first thing to do is to know their background,there needs as well as there wants.

-Where they work? Do they belong to the same workplace.So this means they are having the same interests and drives.

-Knowing more about each individual,if you are holding a small conference,will vastly help you to fit there needs.

-If you are wondering about the source from which you derive all the information that is needed,you consider trade journals,company website,professional publications,collegues,friends and why not members in the audience themselves.

-Meeting some of them can give you

In a nutshell,putting more time and energy will certainly pay off.All the information you collect about your audience will help you to meet their expectation and anticipations.Don’t be narrow-minded In presenting only what you believe In,but you should also take into account there’s as well.

The Art Of Public Speaking: How do your audience remember what you say

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:04:00 +0000

After knowing your audience,what they want and what they need.I think that there is another task to fulfill.Have you ever wondered how do people process information? How do their brains store it ? Isn’t making them remember what you say is your fisrt and foremost concern ? Have you ever asked yourselef how our memory work?

Well,In these few lines,you will learn how to get your information remembered by yout audience for maximum impact.

It’s well known that what we see is more memorable than what hear because once you see something,your brain creates a mental picture about it so that it becomes more memorable than hearing it.apply this principle in your presentation and you’ll see a marvelous difference.In your presentations,you should get them use as many senses so that things become more intreseting for them.for instance,use animated visual graphics,give them assignment to do….etc.You want to know that the more senses that are involved in processing new things,the more it gets imprinted in the memory and the stronger will be the memories associated with that information.Another fact about memory is that is can be easily get borred if you give it more than seven information to process at once.So you have to be very careful when organizing the presentation to not exeed more than seven information at once.be sure that if you overload your speech with too much information,then your audience will get lost and start listening to listen to their internal thoughts rather than what you say.One final thought is to use individuals names to that to focus their attention and awaken their memory system in order for you to guarantee that your messages will get across smoothly.

The Art Of Public Speaking : Controlling the audience

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:01:00 +0000

Preparation and rehearsal play an integral part of your presentation’s overall performance.However, throughout the course of presenting; you may come across some unexpected incidents, among these: problems with audience control. It is very possible that some of them may arise problems concerning what you say. Especially if the content of the presentation goes against either there expectations or against their beliefs vis-à-vis a particular topic. So in situations like this, one needs more than preparation to tackle the raised problem. So how can you deal with such embarrassing situation?

To be candid, I’ve never come across such circumstance.However, it worth sharing some tips and hints on how to surmount such problematic situation. If a member in the audience is being so unfriendly with you, then there must be a reason why he is doing so. Chances are he or she gets bored or disagrees with what you say. The key here is to not take it personally and second, do not engage in a one-to-one conversation with that person. You can appeal to members in the audience who certainly will be on your side. You may say ‘I understand that you disagree with what I say, and you are welcome to disagree with me, but can we put it off until I finish the presentation?’ After doing so, you can say something to the audience to calm them down. Something like ‘I hope that we are now feeling comfortable….etc’

The most important thing here is to be prepared first and make your audience interested and humored. So if you succeed in making them interested in what you say, then be sure that nobody will raise such problematic situations. The main thing to remember here to be as polite as you can, do not engage into conversations with that person and don’t take it personally.

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:05:00 +0000

Being able to communicate as good as Barak Obama is something that cannot be acquired overnight.Such ability to speak to groups of people and impacting them in a positive sense doesn’t accur automatically.Although,It’s possible as other skills such as reading and writing,but still,presenting is a wholly different matter.

I don’t think so.You are to not think so.and you are to start working on mastering the skill of public speaking because it’s the only factor that will be taken in account wherever you go in our competitive society.

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:58:00 +0000

Having finished suming up your presentation’s main points and objectives.Now it’s time to think about giving your audience the chance to speak their minds.at this particular moment,you should be very sensitive in shifting the spotlight fom you to them.because if you do that in unexpected manner.chances are your audience will be perplexed, and none of them can pose a question only because you haven’t given them time to articulate their thoughts accurately and properly.though,If you indicate at the beginning and/or at the end that you will give them the opportunity to get their questions answered.Then,be sure that your question-and-answer session will be as exciting as your presentation.

There are certain rules to be respected when it comes to the transition process from the presentation to the interaction session.Among these,Stating the kind of questions that will be answered as well as the number.So,making such limitation will keep the course of this session as concise and to the point as possible.

Now,and after you have stated your rules,It’s time to aswer their questions.This might be a bit difficult as what are they going to raise is something out of your reach.however,with good preparation,you shall be able to answer as many questions as you can.An effective way to do so is to ask your collegues to find as many questions as their minds can possibly generate concerning the subject matter.Then,devote some time to answer these questions as long as they are related to the topic of your presentation.

The art of public speaking: disarming the audience

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 15:32:00 +0000

Our article today is going to focus on disarming immediate preoccupation of your audience. Now I know that it is a kind of tricky terms but let’s simplify things, one of the most valuable questions to ask yourself before you speak is to figure out whether your audience are willing to trust what you have to say in front of them or not.OKAY now,what is the one thing that my audience is totally skeptical about?
Here are some hints and tips on how to disarm the preoccupation of any audience.

1) Honesty first

You have no alternative than saying the truth and nothing but the truth. People will appreciate your sincerity and reward you with their full attention. What’s more, you are validating the credibility of everything you utter.

2) social proof

Consider sharing testimonials from past programs that worked with you or with costumers and how it has impacted their lives, show the proof that screams loud that what you teach does really work as it worked with others. What you really need to concentrate on is to choose the ideal way to induce your audience, as I said, showing testimonials is one of them, but that doesn’t mean to exclude other ways from your calculations. You may use facts and bona fide statistics to appeal to people’s logic, or will you appeal emotions with successful people who have used what you are teaching? Choose what you see that fits. Of course the recommended approach is to make a combination of the two ways that can guarantee more pleasant outcomes.

3) believe what you say

In order for them to believe on what you say, you have to first believe it, otherwise nobody will give a shit.to make this an achievable task, one should be passionate ,enthusiastic and zealous about the subject matter, release your energy out to the extend that they can sense it.BELIVE in what you are saying and you will see an immediate response which is your first and foremost objective.

In conclusion,make sure that give a greate deal of your energy to work on your final points as studies have revealed are the most remembered ones.so make sure that your audience have imprinted what you tought them in their minds.

The Art Of Public Speaking : The power of pause

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:04:00 +0000

I cannot overemphasize the importance of making pauses during your presentations.pauses are one of most important things that generate and produce power to your speechs.If you want to call attention to a particular thought,pause just before its utterance and you will notice its impact on the audience right after you say it.

A pause automatically makes your talk comprehensibly and builds your audience’s relaxation simultaneously.what you say after a pause will have more effect than if no pause had accured. Another benefit that will derive from making pauses is…WAIT A MINUTE, have you ever been watching a recoreded foot-ball match,and throughout this process,someone has just stepped in and let slip the score? What would be your feelings? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ….!!! If you know the score beforehand,then there’s no reason to watch it.the fact is :You loose the suspense,aren’t you? well, It’ll bear the same result if no pauses are make during the speech.you have to bear in mind that suspense is what makes your audience alert and vigilant to what next point you are making.so by adding the power of pause to your arsenal,you have in the hands all what it takes to arouse and maintain suspense.

My final thought is: watch out the way you talk and the way you insert pauses,because by doing so you keep them waiting for what is next and therefore,gaining there full attention which is your ultimate goal first and foremost.

The Art Of Public Speaking : How to use your Gestures

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:16:00 +0000

flailing and gesticulating out of control?get too flashy?too energetic? Chances are the audience that you are talking to has already dismissed you.

Without a shred of doubt,using gestures will add much more credibility to what you are uttering.however, the question that every public speaker should find an answer to is: How expressive should I communicate with others? Anyway,don’t tax yourself by looking for an answer, you will find it in the next lines.

First,as you may encounter, some gifted public speakers use this technique without being timid,the source of their gestures is their intuition.unlike some public speakers who seem naturally unemotional and inexpressive and consequently there arguments are feeble.bear in mind that gestures must be born not built. What does this mean?

Well, we all know that the sole puprpose of gesticulating is to engage the feelings and the minds of the viewers into an advanced level of anderstanding,serving this purpose requires you to properly align your gestures with your ideas.meaning, Gesture Should either be Simultaneous with or Precede the Words--not Follow Them .just imagine that you are overacting your gestures,would your thoughts be the audience’s focus? Of course not.

So, Gestures should be born of the moment ,come out natural and spontaneous without deliberately forced.actually there isn’t much to do, but here’s a little tip.Fisrt, chose a topic that you can comfortably talk about for around three minutes.as you speak, gesture freely and then find ways of bringing your hands and arms to your side.at this moment notice how you feel talking without too much gestures.watch out the adjustement your body tends to make help align your gestures with your thoughts.

The Art Of Public Speaking : watch out your opening

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:02:00 +0000

The Opening of your speech is one of the most influential part during the process of impacting your audience.
the first thing to consider is not to begin the introduction with a shopping list of what is going to take place throughout your presentation.the objective behind the introduction is to grab your audience’s mind .to make this an achievable task,you need to open up your conversation with a question that is meant to stimulate their curiosity.alternatively,I highly recommend you to start your presentation with a joke,telling a joke is as you can find in this blog,is extremely effective to build a rapport with your audience and consequently,building a lasting connection between you and them.Equally important,your conclusion must include a statement that summarises the argument of the speech on top of the final conclusions.conclusions as studies have shown remain the most impressive as well as the most memorable part of the speech indeed, so make sure that your presentation includes an impressive introduction and an unforgettable conclusion to guarantee a powerful presentation.

3 Ways To Keep Your audience’s attention

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:42:00 +0000

Have you ever felt awfully anxious the very moment of speaking to a huge number of people, and wish the ground to swallow you up and could fade away?

Have you ever undergone that jiffy while walking into the spot as though walking into a lion’s den?

Sounds familiar? These are specific experiences that all of us have had at one time or another….

Well, if it is not your case then probably you needn’t be here unless you are a nooooooosy person …. (just
kidding).However, if it is really your case, then you have to bear in mind that it really takes a lot of courage and determination to truly be successful at this. At any rate, this blog (public-speaking-tips1.blogspot.com) has been created only to address this setback,isn't it? The following tips will allow your true personality to shine through your speech on condition that you chase’em strictly. a deal ?? Let us go for it then.

1) being spontaneous is your clue to their hearts

Spontaneity is that the more we force it, the more we block it. Yeah, that’s right, being spontaneous is one of the qualities that one should be possesses to gain the audience’s admiration as well as attention. why do we do everything we can to make sure nothing spontaneous happen while we talk .well don’t get me wrong, being planned is very essential indeed, but let us give space to our spontaneity to show itself up.unfortunately,being spontaneous is something that we cannot work at nor strategize.

2) Unleash your hidden energy

Being energetic will send unspoken messages to your audience, meaning I’m with you, you are my focal point, I take you seriously and I don’t want to irk you. oooh I almost forget, being energetic could be achieved through spending some time by yourself, moving through space and consciously sensing energy within your body, thereafter dwell upon the happiest moment in your life ( it could be the day when you get married, your first kiss, the graduation ceremony...you name it) What matters is that something will create a strong sense of how thrilling it can be to feel energy flowing through your body. The only thing that you need to do is making it lasting as long as possible, in other words, have a control over your feelings and automatically over your inner energy.

3) Your voice

Tuning your voice is one of the most influential ways to get bonded with the audience, so playing with your voice have definitely a huge impact on your listeners. having an impact voice requires only the practice of deep breathing, regardless of how deeply you breathe at present, an ongoing practice will help send breathe into parts of your body that have for years held only pressure and strain. More importantly, it will help your voice to settle and mature without sprain.

The Art Of Public Speaking : deadly mistakes

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:19:00 +0000

Do you want your audience to look down at you? Of course not,right?

Today’s lines will address two common deadly errors that 85% of public speakers do most of the time.Last week, i had attended a presentation that was held by a friend of mine.throughout the speech I detected those sort of lethals that made me thinking of dropping you these lines.

The first fatal mistake to avoid is apology.what you have to keep in mind is to never apology for anything at all except if you come too late or lose your voice.put yourself into this situation and you’ll put yourself under their merciful.in plain English,your audience will not have confidence in what you are trying to pass on because you are showing up as a losy public speaker.

The second deadly mistake : DO NOT allude that you are the wrong speaker to talk simply because you are damaging your credibility by doing so.an other point to consider is to not reveal that you have not prepared so well or something similar.Do either of these things and you’ll find yourself speaking to no one because your audience will lose trustworthiness in you.if you don’t have confidence in yourself, how could you expect an audience to have confidence in you?

QUICK TIPS TO AN EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKING

noreply@blogger.com (Garmah) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:35:00 +0000

Hi there, well actually I was asked by a visitor to talk about some quick tips to an effective public speaking,so since I’ve been asked to do so. I just wanna share some my views on it .actually, I come up with some quick tips to an effective public speaking delivery.

- I strongly believe that is very essential to be prepared.for anything that you do,it always requires you to be prepared,and in the setuation where you might be nervous going on stage , addressing a huge a huge crowd, it even more important to be prepared, because when you do so, even you are nervous and might forget something, then the most important will come out. So preparation will help especially in the moment when you forget something. At least, whatever you have prepared will flow.

- Similar to writing essays,when you give speech, you must be very organized, very concise and very coherent because when you give a speech it’s like you compose a piece of writing .It has to be more intresting than that.in case you are not organized, people will just get lost, and when they get lost they probably ignore what you say regardless of how important your speech. Moreover, it has to be coherent, it even help you a lot , why ? because while you feel confortable, you are automatically confident, aren’t you? So, believe me it happenes naturally.

One of the most important element that should be taken into account during your presentation is the use of body language techniques. did you know that 55% to 65% of what you are trying to say is communicated by your body language-gestures, facial expressions,postures,movements,eye contact…etc-and almost 38% through your tone of voice; so if you make a simple calculation you will find that only 7% left for your words that you use. Additionally, the verbal part is addressed to convey only facts and statistics…etc,whereas, body language is used to communicate your audience’s feelings,so here we come to understand that learning what is body language really is, considered something that every public speaker should be aware of.apparently, if you master those techniques,be sure that you will create an enormous impact you have on your audience,so without farther ado,let’s get started.

1) Your clothes

the way you look and what you wear should be the first thing to consider before you stand up in front of your addressees.For instance, if you wear a suspicious clothes,people will make judgment about you even before you launch your talk,so its very important to decide which kind of clothes that suit the people whom you are talking to.

2) Be attentive to your facial expressions

Its well known that kind of expressions play a major role in influencing your audience’s emotions toward what you say,but you should be very careful when it comes to choosing the right facial expression in a given moment.Don’t use it unless you have the complete controle over your facial expressions.I highly recommend drawing a sweet smile on your face ,it would be a better choice ,in fact smiling will put you and your audience free from anxiety.

3) Eye contact

I’m not talking about that sort of eye contact that could melt icebergs and move mountains,rather when you are giving a presentation,keep eye contact with your people as normal as possible.because if you look afraid of making eye contact with them, then that rapport between both of you will be vanished,simply, because they feel that you are not talking to them.well the tip here is:as you speak, focu exclusively on keeping eye contact with one participant at a time,fully complete one thought with that member,then move to the next one. By doing so,you’ll find yourself confident enough to hold an eye contact with every member in the room.

So we come to the conclusion that body language is a part and parcel of non-verbal communication. it plays an important function in the way you are perceived by others, hence body language has a huge impact on making a good first impression and certainly, this can be accomplished with practice of non-verbal behaviors.
