You have a message to share, a story to tell, a solution to suggest! You know something amazing that will change others’ lives and make them happier, healthier, safer, and smarter. People need to hear what you have to say!
Yet, as confident as you are with what you want to say, you still can’t figure out how to say it effectively. You are unsure how to express your ideas in an interesting and entertaining way, how to persuade your audience to your way of thinking, and how to motivate them to take your advice. You are afraid you will fail or look stupid.
That is understandable, because public speaking considered to be our #1 fear, even a greater than our fear of death. So, as Jerry Seinfeld pointed out, “This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Why is public speaking an important skill to master? Think about it: every time you talk to someone, you are speaking in public. You want to convince your customer to buy your product. You want to encourage your friend to look for a new job. You want to prove to your boss that your proposal is best. You want to dissuade your child from quitting the soccer team. You are presenting your findings to your coworkers. You are sharing a life story of your own that others will benefit from hearing.
The way you speak affects the way your audience listens to and interprets your message. The way your audience responds to you affects the way you speak. It’s like a dance: each partner’s moves affect the other partner’s moves. If you are nervous, unorganized, or dull, your audience will be unimpressed, bored, and unreceptive.
Knowing how to speak confidently in public is essential in interpersonal communication as well as in professional settings. Being poised, proficient, and self-assured will help you gain visibility, influence, and status in your field. You will be seen as more competent, more professional, and more articulate.
