Public speaking is one of the largest fears

Public speaking is one of the largest fears that people face. Whether a toast at a wedding or as business meeting facilitator- public speaking can be a nuisance. Some balk at embarrassment while others fear hesitating. Even for the most learned or the professional speaker, public speaking is difficult.

Presentations are not as difficult as they seem; they require structure and framework. Get help with your next presentation with PRACTICE?.

Preparation - No presentation can begin or even end properly without proper preparation. All speakers require a framework that must include 1) your audience analysis, 2) your purpose or motive for the presentation, 3) your 3 or 4 main points 4) any stories or statistics required 5) your call to action. These five MBT Kimondo, components are essential to every presentation. Meetings today are run too haphazardly. Productive meetings must have purpose.

When possible, stop for questions, engage participants with case studies, exercises, charts, etc. If you relax your audience you too will relax.
