Tip for Giving a Great Speech

Some people are born knowing how to deliver a speech. For the rest of us, it’s a bit more of a challenge. Most people would rather scrub themselves with sandpaper and bathe in a vat of vinegar than speak in front of a group. But the time comes for almost everyone when they have to deliver a speech.

Here’s a fact that might make the chore less scary: the audience wants you to succeed.

When you are up there at the podium, all eyes are on you and it can feel like the everyone is searching for every flaw. That feeling is a left over from our ancient past when lions were looking at us trying to find weakness. In most instances, that is not the case when you’re giving a speech. The audience wants you to good. They want to be entertained or informed. No one wants to be uncomfortable speech and they’ll forgive a lot. If you make a mistake, just keep going. Don’t forget to practice. It really helps!
