| We all enjoy attending seminars, listening to fantastic orators, dont we. Definitely we do, for its educative, informative, instructing and entertaining. So often are we in awe of these people, looking upto them in pure admiration, and deep down in our hearts, yearn to see ourselves in their shoes. Take my word for it, trust me, its not really so much of an uphill task as it sounds, comes accross or appears to be.Hey friend, do you happen to be one among those whose nerves fret when you occupy stage and make a presentation or deliver a lecture-you become very conscious, feel incapacitated,your self esteem andconfidence severely challenged. Relax, I have greatly comfortingly news for you. The factual truth is that greatly successful speakers are made, not born.All renowned speakers-Napolean Hill, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincon, George Bernard Shaw, Margaret Thatcher and many many others all started small, low on confidence and capabilities, worked through their way up consistently and we can all see how far they made it. The right attitude and approach in combination with sincere efforts in the required direction is what sets apart making all the difference. What you need to do, is to learn simple techniques-be open, be adaptive to learn, unlearn and relearn shedding all inhibitions. This would enable voicing your choice, put the message accross convincingly, nevertheless making that objective yet emotional connect with your viewers and listeners. The only, I repeat the only and not the best way to overcome fear is to face it-more so it applies in this field. Nervousness can be overcome and stage fear can be dissolved into nothing through raising the bar on your self esteem constantly. Delve in with supreme confidence and sureness in your capabilities, empowered by faith, backed by belief. This would result in your bodily tensions being eased, quietening your anxiety, calming and relaxing you. Creative visualisation, spirituality and meditation would definetely prove beneficial as the body, mind and spirit are exercised and therby rejuvenated, making you a productive achiever realizing your dreams. Coming to delivering, your talk would be abigger hit, as in a lot more effective when if well thought out , planned, paced and spaced out. Humour would definitely break the monotony and mundaneness. It would make an enjoyable session keeping your listeners attentive span all the more grounded, captivated. How you say what you say is more important than what you say. Its a talented skill, one could gain mastery over, provided there is room for improved learning and further development, when it comes to humourous narrations. Here, at this point, I would like to throw some light on the importance of the opening lines. As the ageold saying goes, first impressions are the best-it needs to be powerfully expressed in an attractive and emphasising manner. The body of the speech should be structured in a way as to smoothly gel and rythmically flow toward a well planned and organised journey .Most of all, keep in mind to close in a way that goes on to linger in the memory of your audience long after the talk ended, making their inquisitiveness sprout and flower, hankering for more, wanting to come back to you everytime. There would of course be people wanting to pull you downin the form of hostile audiences and persistent hecklers. Now its upto you alone, to see to it that the ball still remains in your court, unnerved, unmoved. Withoot losing your focussed stream of thought, without distractedly swaying away from the topic, without letting their motives succeed,come out with flying colours, winning strides. Body language and facial gestures too speak volumes. So, apart from being presentable, you need to present that aura, give out the positive vibrational energies that you are in full control of the situation-as in-I know why I am here, what I have to doand how best to do it. You need to take, that extra care, run that extra mile. Your pauses, moments of silence are also very much needed, as they let the idea behind the message sink in and allows your listeners to reflect upon and ponder. Even at social occassions, in the spirit of the festivities, keep it lighthearted and warm, not too elaborated, and more than just to the point. While introducing a speaker, highlight upon how the audience can be rewardingly benefitted by the session when it comes to the takeaway. Even if it is a debating scenario or handling a radio, press or television interview, the secret lies in the guest and the host having mutual respect for each other. So, now there you are. Willing to try on these sure timetested tips and guidelines on your way to success?Be sure. You will. The world's your stage. Let's keep the mantrasimple: You can if you think you can. If you think you can't, you are right. |
