Last week's speaker taught us that while Public Speaking is an innate art, we can all improve by following a few simple steps such as self awareness, eye contact and various other gestures. Overall, it was also interesting that while most of us think of Public Speaking as a rigid technique, we have to alter our way of speaking depending on the audience and the duration of our speech. I would like to summarize what she taught us, in three points:
- Know who you will be talking to.
- Know how you will be talking to them.
- Know what you want them to get from your talk.
