Know your content. Know what you are talking about. Know when to open yourself up and join the content and yourself. Know when to separate yourself from the content. This is a great starting point for speaking. If you are presenting difficult information, or information that will not be received well, Use other sources for how to present. Body language is incredibly important for your presentation.

[@tooreal8968]

No offense but I don't consider this exactly good "public speaking". He isn't providing any information in his speech, there is no information being convoy besides words that "sound good". All he does is talk in circles about the same idea while "acting" confidently in front of an audience that will eat up anything he says. Go take a good look at those business conference speakers or technology conference speakers. They might not be the most confidence "public speaker" but their speeches provide substance

When does he reveal his lightsabers?

[@montybonza879]

Good tips. I would add one more which is equally important: Don't move too much while presenting. I have seen many people making that mistake. It is extremely distracting for the audience.

[@Zetsuke4]

Moving a lot is fine but disturbing if the movement is annoying especially when the moving is a anxious nervous tick. Lots of strong speakers have movements it's just powerful and expressive. Movements are only bad if they communicate what they dont intend that doesnt support what they are saying, such as showing their anxiety

[@austinmccracken5924]

Totally agree with the points you make - when you say feel comfortable with the stage, for me it's important to use the stage as a solid foundation from which to deliver and also build confidence. Now's the time to put into practice your recommendations!! Thank you.

[@Azami0001]

I feel like some of these are exaggerated. In my class, I noticed that the ones that are "confident" have their hands hanging low. Does that mean they are are brave because their arms are not folded? Or are they too scared stiff? What I'm trying to get at is, why can't we just talk and present how we want to present? I fold my arms mostly because it relaxes me. Nervous? Sure. However, I could say the same when I put my hands behind my back when I'm nervous. And this happens sometimes.

What if I’m in an interview and of course there’s a table there. Do I keep my palms open in their air? Just take a second and imagine how dumb that would be lmao

[@joelman1989]

Just be natural... not sure why that’s so hard lol. You can still talk with your hands and show your palms without waving them in the air. Don’t worry about the table, don’t be pressed up against the table, absolutely don’t hide your hands underneath the table. better to have your elbows on the table than that. Otherwise these tips apply but obviously they are more geared towards standing and speaking in from of a crowd.

[@marvingarcia8268]

Great Speakers will always be open to an audience and will never be close to them, so they can't look away while the speaker is speaking and will have your attention while you speak anywhere. Another way is to get comfortable with the stage or anywhere you are at to move around, this way the audience with their eyes will follow you where ever you go. When you have a podium do not touch in order to not get nervous. keep your arms out and never crossed, because it will seem like you are closing yourself off from the audience.

[@381811]

I was recently taught that we stand on podiums. Your point is referring to the lecturn.

[@aljensen5912]

I can't believe that a World Champion of Public Speaking (Toastmasters International top honor) suggests that we, as speakers, keep our hands off of the podium. That's almost automatic unless you speak while lying or sitting on the stage. You see, the podium is what we walk upon while delivering our speech; a platform used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings The lectern is what we might be tempted to place our hands upon. A lectern is the slant-topped high desk that you as the speaker stand behind and use when reading your presentation notes. To remember lectern, think the desk that holds your lecture notes. A podium is a raised platform on which a speaker stands during a presentation. To remember podium think podiatrist - which is a foot doctor. Dananjaya Hettiarachchi, you're a great speaker...good enough to win the WCPS. I admire that. You fall short when you show you don't know the difference between a podium and a lectern. I haven't won the WCPS, so I defer to you on that. I have made a nice living speaking and coaching emerging speakers, and I happen to know the difference. (And I teach that difference to my students.) Now (if you even come around to see this message) you know the difference too.

[@SaffariRose]

Technically speaking, yes, you're right. However, podium and podium-stand are now used interchangeably to mean Lectern. The average person doesn't know the distinction and as he's speaking to the general public, I'm guessing he opted to use a common word to enable clarity (than having to explain the meaning of the right word).

[@aljensen5912]

Both "Podium" and "Lectern" are common words. A speaker worth their salt should know that. Where in the world did you come up with "podium and podium-stand are now used interchangeably to mean Lectern"? @@SaffariRose

[@SaffariRose]
