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.
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
Facts
1. You are not unique in your fear of
speaking in public
2. A certain amount of stage fright is useful!
3. Many professional speakers admitted
that they never completely lose all stage
fright
4. The chief cause of fear of public
speaking is due to your being
unaccustomed to speak in public
A certain amount is useful!
• When you notice your pulse beating faster,
don’t become alarmed
• Your body is getting ready to go into action
akin to revving up of a racing car
• If held within limits You will be capable of
• thinking faster
• talking more fluently
• and with greater intensity
You never completely lose it all
• It may persist through your first few
sentences
• This is the price –
For being like RACE HORSES,
Not like draft horses
• Speakers who are “cool as cucumber”Thick-skinned as a cucumber
About as inspiring as a cucumber
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
