• Establish proper eye-‐contact • Be an actor. You lead; make the audience follow you • Avoid sitting; standing behind a podium • Appropriately use hand gestures , facial expressions • Keep your intonation up and down • Question; ponder and remind your audience • Pause during applause • Open with an impact and close with a direction • Remain mindful of your time
• Endorsing, refuting and reviewing previous speakers • Silence is better than Um’s and Ah’s • “You know(s)”, “likes”, “wells”, “you already know(s)” • Not taking ample pauses • Use of difficult, bookish, old-‐fashioned vocabulary • Self-‐bashing, bragging • Failing to recognize that public speaking is an acquired skill.
• Don’t panic as you run out of time. • Leave out the less important staff • Public speaking is not an inborn quality • Even the best speakers had to struggle initially • Practice, practice, practice • Consider every speech as the best speech of your life. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1H5m0S-‐sdQ
