What’s in it for me? Learn how to give great speeches and presentations.

These blinks will show you how to become an effective public speaker, and the benefits to be gained from learning to speak well. Using the speeches of past world champions, these blinks explore the basics of creating great content, structuring that content well, and using strategic verbal and nonverbal delivery techniques to fully engage your audience in what you're saying. You'll also learn how your manner of speaking should fit with the setting, atmosphere, and occasion of your speech.

In these blinks, you'll find out:

how being a good public speaker can get you a job promotion, and
how the author went from stammering through his first speech to becoming a world champion.

Public speaking is a vital skill for any professional.

Have you ever had to give a speech in front of a large audience? Or have you ever had to convince others with an enticing presentation? Many jobs require you to speak in front of your fellow employees, and improving and refining these skills is critical to advancing in your career.

From the very start of your working life, in your first job interview, public speaking has been crucial. Research has shown that one of the most important skills that employers look for during interviews is the candidates’ ability to give clear speeches and presentations in front of bigger audiences.

After you've been hired, public speaking remains key to standing out at work. This is clear from the results of the Job Outlook 2013, a survey of over 240 employers. The ability to communicate verbally, inside as well as outside the company, was ranked as the most valued skill by far, rated 4.63 out of five potential points.

Good public speaking skills will also help you advance in your career. If your employers are looking to promote someone, they’re much more likely to choose someone who stands out, and good public speaking skills will get you noticed. This will give you an edge over any colleagues who might also be in consideration.

The authors of this book are living examples of this, though in quite different ways. Jeremy Donovan advanced in his career in a corporate environment, and Ryan Avery trained at Toastmasters, a club for people looking to improve their speaking abilities. Through his training with Toastmasters, Avery went on to become one of the most successful professional public speakers of our time.

Learning how to speak confidently, clearly and convincingly in front of an audience is an enormously useful skill that will be critical at all points of your career, and it can make you a highly regarded professional.

Your confidence and skills will improve as you practice public speaking and get feedback.

We all have to speak in front of audiences sometimes, whether it’s at a school presentation or a business meeting. It’s normal to feel nervous in these situations, and we can all work on improving our public speaking skills.

You’ll improve your capabilities in producing and delivering a speech as you practice public speaking. A strong speech isn’t just about a good topic and accurate facts. You'll also learn how to maintain eye contact, keep an authoritative but approachable kind of posture, project your voice well, and use humour appropriately. You'll learn how to correctly structure a speech, which will make it easier and more interesting for the audience to follow.

Choose a topic that’s interesting to both you and your audience.

The first question you’ll probably ask yourself before you have to craft a speech is: What in the world am I going to talk about? Well, the secret to creating good speech content is to find a topic that will interest your audience, but that's also interesting to you personally.

First, ask yourself who your audience will be. They're the ones you're hoping your speech will affect. For example, when you give a speech to your family at Christmas, you’ll probably talk about love or the value of a close family, not your company’s new business strategy. This way, your audience is more likely to feel appreciated and inspired.

Keep your audience engaged by making sure your speech is focused.

Sometimes a speech can have generally good content, but still seem to waver and lose the audience's attention. Why? Because speakers often put in too much unnecessary information, instead of focusing on the core of what they really want to say.

Focus is the key to a great speech. A seven minute speech, for example, really shouldn't have more than one main message. If it does, you won't have time to completely flesh out your points, and convince your audience of what you're saying. To stay focused, make sure you don't put in unnecessary information, such as irrelevant remarks or side-stories – this will make the audience's attention waver. The ultimate goal of your speech is to affect your audience, so distracting them from the message you want to send with superfluous information is counterproductive.

Build a connection with your audience using both verbal and nonverbal techniques.

Have you ever been in an audience for a speech that really stuck with you? Did you feel a powerful bond with the speaker? That strong connection between the speaker and audience is what you’ll want to strive for in your speeches. You can build and maintain this connection by using both verbal and nonverbal skills.

The first thing you’ll want to consider on your way to building that connection is how you'd like to come off to the audience. Do you want to be a well-informed educator? Do you want to move the audience emotionally?

Work with a speaking coach – they can make a huge difference to your progress and development as a speaker.

Training your public speaking skills is just like training for a sport: you need to practice continually and work with a coach who can guide you.

Working with a coach who speaks at the level you're trying to reach (or even at a higher level) will definitely help you progress. Speaking coaches are usually experienced and successful public speakers themselves, so you can work on trying to get your speaking skills up to their standard. On top of that, they've also learned the best techniques for passing their own skills onto others.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
