Public Speaking Training on How to Prevent Stage Fright Posted By : David Portney

admin — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:43:44 +0000

At the core, stage fright is fear of rejection and fear of being judged harshly. Doing public speaking or seminars is a terrific way to promote yourself, generate more business, and make sales of your product or service but you'll never do it unless you deal with the problem of stage fright. So if stage fright is the panic and fear that hits people when they're already speaking, what can be done to prevent it? You see, people manage to "create" stage fright in a number of ways, but a very common way is to look out over an audience, and feel the eyes of a bunch of staring strangers burning a hole in them. By meeting people and being friendly before you start your talk means these people are not strangers boring holes in you with their eyes during your presentation; they're your new friends.

There you are on stage - you're doing public speaking, training, or even a seminar, and you make a mistake. Okay, this public speaking training article comes to you from me having done 1,893 workshops, seminars, and public speaking engagements since 1982 - and I have made all the above mistakes and many, many more.

You may need to get a number of public speaking engagements under your belt to fully realize this, but it's 100% true - in most cases the audience just does not care.

What is your Definition of Success Posted By : kensium solutions(public speaker)

admin — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:36:34 +0000

The true essence of success, beneath the visible markers and goals, lies in your own personal sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. It excludes a multitude of people who are successful in their own right, and who define success by an entirely different set of standards. Success is amorphous, and like the other vast intangible - love - there is no universal means by which we can measure it. Many - dare I hope most - parents deem raising their children well as a sign of success.

Making a Perfect Wedding Toast

Greg McNaughton — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:51:38 +0000

by Jayelle Finch

Over a beer last night, your best friend told you his wonderful news; he will be getting married to the girl of his dreams in a few months' time. You never thought you'd live long enough to see that happen, for him to take the plunge and settle down.

The idea of being a best man is very appealing. There's nothing you would rather do for your best bud on his wedding day than dazzle wedding guests with a superb wedding toast and share heartfelt sentiments, but public speaking and you, well those words were never meant to be in the same sentence.

You feel honored to be asked but also so far out of your comfort zone that you can't even picture your old security blankie! But you're a take-charge kind of guy who always steps up to the mark. Where do you start when making a wedding toast?

Learn from these suggestions on how to make an excellent wedding toast.

- The key to success is starting early and being totally prepared. Do your research by talking with others who have given wedding toasts and check out web sources and library books too. Don't go with "off-the-cuff" remarks. They simply won't cut it when the time comes, trust me!

- Learn to like butterflies. Make them fly in formation by embracing and harnessing the energy that fear produces. That extra burst of energy will enhance your wedding toast.

- Allow for several drafts. We're not talking beer here, but rewrites of your speech. Don't expect to nail it right off the bat. Write the wedding speech, let it sit for a few days and look at it again with fresh eyes. Then make some changes. Repeat this process until you feel comfortable with the results.

- A bit of laughter, some smiles, these are what you are aiming for when you use humor in a wedding speech. Never tell intimate stories, use crude language or off-color jokes. Never!

- Talk about your relationship with the groom, a youthful adventure or two, about how you just knew he had met his intended when you were first introduced. In your wedding toast, say what a wonderful guy he is, how you think his bride is a great match and how great a future you believe they have together. Speak from your heart.

- Be brief. Three to five minutes is long enough for a wedding toast.

- Mirror, mirror, who is the best prepared of all? Run through your wedding speech, gestures and all in front of a full-length mirror. Use a stopwatch.

- Take five. Try to grab a few moments in the exact place where you will be giving your wedding speech to get a feel for the mike and the room from that vantage point.

- Extend arm. No, you are not shaking hands; you are preparing to give the actual wedding toast. Use a full glass, raise your arm from the shoulder, and look directly at the bride and groom when you toast them. This is the last part of the wedding speech.

- Hug the groom and the bride at the conclusion of your wedding toast and then take your seat. Job well done!

What do you think about goals in life Posted By : ibrahimbadhusa- Topic: public speaking

admin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:02:27 +0000

This will set us on the right track. Sometimes such short term goals might be unsatisfying in the long term. The goals set should have an objective, a target, a vision, a mission and an outcome. So, have reasonable goals and set a time limit and attain your target.
