Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
__1.__,so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. _2.__, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
__3.__
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. _4.__. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. __5._. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A.You aren't like anybody else
B.You already do lots of things well
C.Turn your back on too many rules
D.Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F.The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
