Who What To whom Medium What Effect

"who is saying what to whom using what medium with what effects?" The purpose of public speaking can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them.

Hints and Tips for Effective Public Speaking

Mistakes

Mistakes are all right. Recovering from mistakes makes you appear more human. Good recovery puts your audience at ease - they identify with you more. Tell jokes if you're good at telling jokes. If you aren't good, best to leave the jokes behind. Gentle humour is good in place of jokes.

Tell stories

Stories make you a real person not just a deliverer of information. Use personal experiences to bring your material to life. No matter how dry your material is, you can always find a way to humanise it. Try not to get stuck in one place. Use all the space that's available to you. Move around. If your space is confined (say a meeting room or even presenting at a table) use stronger body language to convey your message. Speak to your audience not your slides. Your slides are there to support you not the other way around. Ideally, slides should be graphics and not words (people read faster than they hear and will be impatient for you to get to the next point). If all the technology on offer fails, it's still you they've come to hear.
