How to Become a More Effective Public Speaker

Public speaking is a key element of any professional success story, which is why it’s also a focal point of our Equilibrium Marketing Solutions developmental approach. We use the following strategies to become more confident when we’re at the podium.

Practice is essential when it comes to giving an effective speech. We do our best to avoid having to look at our notes throughout a presentation. The best way to ensure that we’re comfortable and can project confidence when we’re speaking is to rehearse enough that our main points are second nature. If we have the key elements of the speech committed to memory, we feel better about improvising a bit.

Eye contact is another essential element of any strong presentation. To make sure we connect with our listeners during an Equilibrium Marketing Solutions speech, we find a few people who are listening especially well. It’s easy to return to these people from time to time and get a quick confidence boost in the process.

We’re also learning how valuable pauses are to our speaking pursuits. If we lose our place, a few seconds are all we need to get back in the rhythm. We can also use brief pauses to emphasize important points or to make good transitions between them.

These tactics are making us stronger speakers with every trip to the podium. Check out the Equilibrium Marketing Solutions Newswire for more presenting tips.
