    Tip #9: Have a Clear Point in Mind Before Practicing Your Story | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  As we learned in the tip yesterday, stories can be one of the most powerful tools in a speakers tool belt. However, it's completely possible to make a story hurt your presentation.  Even if the story is told well, if it's not at all related or able to be related back to the point of your presentation, it can leave everyone even more confused and uninterested than they would have been without the story. So make sure to go into every story with a clear point and a clear way to connect it back to your general presentation.

    Tip #8: Become a Great Storyteller | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  One of the absolute most powerful tools in a public speakers tool belt is the story. There's nothing that incites us, keeps us engaged, like a good story. Even if the presentation is over a topic that really interests us, just showing graphs, stats, and data won't keep anyone's attention for long.  Learning how to communicate everything in the form of a story (and a good story at that) is one of the absolute fastest ways to start excelling as a presenter.

    Tip #7 Stand Up When You Speak? | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  And tip number 7 of November is entirely about your physicality. How you present yourself to the audience can be just as important as the words that you say. So if you are trying to be clear and evident in your appeals for attention, the very least you can do is stand up in a room of people seated.  Standing also has other benefits that come with it like allowing you to move around the stage, change your speed for emphasis, and project your voice better.

    Tip #6: Speak on Topics You Are an Expert On? | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  Tip number 6 of this month is to speak on topics that you are actually an expert on. No matter if you're an excellent presenter or a terrible presenter, audiences are really good at sniffing out who knows what they're talking about.  A great presenter trying to lie their way through a speech on a topic they know absolutely nothing about will usually be worse than an average presenter speaking passionately and knowledgeably about what they know. So choose your topics carefully.

    Tip #5: Look for a Friendly Face? | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. One of the biggest falsehoods people hold whenever they get up to give a speech is that the audience doesn't want to listen to you. "Why would these people want to listen to me, they're clearly against me from the moment I start speaking.". The truth is though, if you have an audience listening to you, it's obviously because they actually do want to know what you have to say.  Now you can absolutely lose that interest through a bad speech, but looking for interested audience members to boost your self confidence from the beginning is a great way to keep confidence throughout a speech.

Not all tips have to be some crazy secret you've never heard before. Some tips are simple things that people often overlook or think won't help much. In the case of having a good breathing exercise before going on stage, it is one of the quickest and easiest ways to diminish nerves. So just start doing it!

    Tip #3: Don't Try to Memorize Your Entire Speech? | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  Tip 3 is building off of yesterday's tip. Reciting a speech word for word is a waste of effort as so much of your energy that should be focused on the delivery of the speech is spent on remembering the words. And if anything happens, your speech completely falls apart.

    Tip #2: Don't Write Your Speech Word-for-Word? | 30 Public Speaking Tips

    Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.  Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.  Our second tip this month is to never write your speech word-for-word. Speeches are about passion and clear knowledge about a topic. Writing your speech word-for-word allows for little of that passion to come out in the actual presentation of the speech. It also can be quite a waste as writing a speech word for word leads to you remembering it word for word which, as you'll learn tomorrow is also a mistake.  Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech (https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)
