Orators are artists. Delivering a good speech is not an easier task but learning a few tips would make it so. These tips are collected from the horse’s mouth i.e. experts and motivational speakers themselves.
Whether speaking to a few coworkers or an auditorium of hundreds, these few simple secrets from motivational speakers will make or break you.
Don’t focus on yourself
Here is the key to good networking: Think about what you can do for others, not what they can do for you. When you meet new people, don’t make the mistake of marketing yourself. Instead, think about someone you know who would be helpful to them.
Don’t let the unanticipated stop you
Last spring, I was giving a speech in a multiplex theater, and the power died. It could have been terrible, but it was great. First one person turned on his phones flashlight to light me up. Then everyone did. And I just kept going. These are the words of an orator.
Educate yourself
Never before have we had more power to educate ourselves
Delivery matters
When I have an important speech, I record it and listen to it repeatedly so there will be no mistakes whatsoever.
Smaller audiences are murder
Because people lose focus. The sweet spot is any group of about 150 to 200 people; that size allows you to establish a collective crowd reaction.
Be prepared to start from scratch
You have no idea what they do to us backstage. One time I had keynote speech that was cut from half an hour of talking time to seven minutes because the speakers in front of me were going on too long. So I ripped up the speech I had, wrote a few notes, and winged it.
When I am speaking, I can see you. Really
If you are texting, I know. If you have got buds in your ears, I know. Usually I let it go. But if you are distracting the people around you, I may have to call you out.
