Successful public speaking
consists of 3 elements: 3 C’s
1. Content
Your message must be packed
with practical information,
presented in a memorable and
entertaining way.
2. Confidence
You must believe that your speech
can make a difference.
3. Connection
You must be able to make a
connection with the audience so
that they respect you, admire you,
and are willing to learn from you.
EYE CONTACT
• VERY important skill to master, result: confident
and personable.
– Start by watching others: dart around the room,
look at their slides or the ceiling, look at the tables
in front of their audience.
– Confident speakers look right at the people they
are speaking to, deliberately and smoothly.
– Practice making eye contact for three to
five seconds per person, long
enough to really connect with them, but not long
enough to get "stuck" or make them feel
uncomfortable.
– A great way to practice eye contact is to practice
your presentation in a meeting room, looking at all
the chairs, one at a time, for three to five seconds
each.
• It takes time and practice to learn any new set of
skills, and learning how to present successfully
is no exception.
4 P’s: PATIENCE, PRACTICE X 3
Courage & Confidence
c.f. Fear, fright, Dale Carnegie
• Once fear is conquered
– impressive poise and self-assurance
• Executive skills increase
– Due to expressiveness and confidence
• Public speaking
– nature’s own method of overcoming selfconsciousness and build up courage and
self-confidence
– speaking in public makes us come to grip
with our fears
Chief cause – unaccustomed to.
Solution: 3 P’s
• “Fear
is misbegotten of
ignorance and uncertainty”
– Some people never did
– Beginners – complex series of situations
• Solution :
Practice, Practice, Practice
– Then public speaking can be made a JOY, not agony
– Create a record of successful speaking experiences – a repertoire
Assessment: PTK6

Volume, pitch, rate, quality

 Achieve pleasing natural vocal quality when speaking

INDIVIDUAL IMAGE
• There is power in perception. To those
you meet, how you are perceived is who
you are.
• Your image is the combined total of your
appearance and your behavior. It
includes your attitudes and how you
approach the world, the work you do
and the pride you take in it. Everywhere
you go, your image speaks loudly and
clearly, for your image is you in the eyes
and minds of others.
IMAGE
• It is important to be aware of the image you
project, for only then can you work on your
strengths and weaknesses to create the best
you.
• Your image includes the following components:
 Self concept
 Standards of excellence
 Personal attitudes
 Etiquette
 Verbal communication skills
 Body language
 Paralanguage (How you sound)
 Appearance
