Description
You just recently found out you have to give a speech. Then this short, concise guide is perfect for you.
As a result your legs have turned to rubber, your mouth has been drier than the Sahara for better than a week now, and to put it delicately you wonder if your bathroom routine will ever go back to normal.
Statistics show that most people would rather have a root canal than speak in public. Amazing as it may sound, some have admitted fearing public speaking more than death!
So you are not alone in your panic attack. You have lots of company.
But help is here. Our book, how to give a killer speech, is going to take you through the process of finalizing a topic, writing the words, and presenting like a pro as is if you have been doing this for years and years.
Whether you're giving your speech to hundreds, or even thousands of fellow executives, or simply to a couple of dozen people at a family wedding, I can help you each step of the way.
I have been a corporate meeting producer for over 30 years now and I have run meetings with audiences as low as 10 people, and up to 5,000 plus attendees.
I have worked extensively with first time speakers, seasoned executives, and professional "For Hire" presenters as well. I have been able to sit with the best of the best and pick their brains on what works, and what doesn't work when delivering a speech.
It is this advice, along with my own personal experiences that I hope to pass along to you in this guide.
The secret is not that different from the old joke how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
It is the same of public speaking.
If you break things down into a series of steps, and complete each step before moving on, the next thing you know you'll be standing in the middle of the stage bowing to thunderous applause.
What you must remember above all else is someone thinks enough of you that they have asked you to speak in front of an audience.
It may not make sense right now but the audience you will be speaking to is just as eager for you to succeed. Either they know you as a friend, or family member, or they are fellow workers eager to hear you share your success.
If you keep that in mind, along with our step-by-step process to writing and presenting your speech, yes, (even like the pros), you will still be nervous, but you will learn to convert that nervousness into an energy onstage that will both inform and impress.
Follow these steps and you're quickly on your way to a standing ovation.
