3. 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.’

10. UNDERSTAND THE AUDIENCE
Learn how to be in Public before you speak in public.
See Public speaking as a Conversation rather than
performance.
11. 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
12. …..........
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.

The Antidote of Fear is Action
:
Editor's Notes
Aircel CA interview
IT is different than talking to people.
57% of graduates are rejected due to poor communication
97% of engineers cant speak english and 67% do not posses English Sof Skills
Problem is google fear of public speaking and you get 29 million hits.
Wanton violence. Safety on the internet. Being the victim of identity theft, 1. Walking alone at night.
Caveman story.
Fear of Public Speaking is ubiquitous.
I have the fear of public The president has it Oprah winfrey has it. Where does it come from ? and how did get there?
Fear of Piblic Speaking is fear of the unknown and fear of the dark.
Are we stuck with it? No – the more you are exposed to a stimulus your reactions get lower and lower and lower
Behind every fear is the person you want to be
You are not afraid of Public Speaking you are scared of Failing..failing in front of everyone.
If you focus on learning then failure is no longer an option.
Surprising facts: The audience is in your side (FAMOUS midwife in bali
Nobody wants to win from a looser
Owning your performance will make it better, even if you tank
Storyteller Tip: “Failure” stories are always crowd-pleasers, so next time you think you tanked or were in an embarrassing situation, turn it into content for your next story!
“I hated every minute of training ,but I said,’ don’t quit .Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion-Mohd. Ali
Dhananjya hitrachi- I see something
Don’t tell the story –live the Story!!-
Is there any value listening to the person or should I go back sending emails and using twitter.
Microsoft NUI resercher went on fo 20 minutes giving her intro-give a quick 1 or 2 line intro.
Don’t waste 20 minutes explaining the structure and loosing the mystry .
Start with a story, humour, anecdote, metaphor, strong statement.
Perfect Practice makes Perfect:
Sitting power
Its not about Memorising but Internalising and Fimiliarising.
Its about understanding the underlying concept so that you can improvise upon them later if need be.
With practising results become extraodinary
Talking pace. Many researchers have conclude that, to make someone listen to you without turning back, you should talk three to four words per second, and make a pause every minute. To be deeply honest, I heard this recently and I haven't try it yet. Even though, I use different speeds. This is great because you won't sound like a robot and, you will talk with a natural, convincing voice.
No accessories. This is also true. Leave all your accessories outside your presentation. This includes rings, watch and phones. You have to sparkle, not your accessories.
