Public Speaking and the Type A Personality Posted By : The Voice Lady

When it comes to public speaking, those who have the most difficulty permitting themselves to deliver a dynamic presentation are those of the Type A personality. Too often the presenter takes the notes from his/her pocket and proceeds to deliver a dry rote presentation, which may be perfect in the sense that every word is well planned and well scripted but there is no heart in the delivery. If the greats in broadcasting, stage acting, performing, sports, or public speaking were to allow an occasional mistake to consume them, we would have no broadcasters, actors, performers, professional athletes, or public speakers to entertain or inform us. In this respect, public speaking is akin to music lessons, rehearsals on a stage for the musicians or actors, or the playing of sports, none of which you will accomplish well without practice.
