Public Speaking Tip from Rod Laver.

 

“The next point – that’s all you must think about.”

Those are the words of tennis legend Rod Laver.  We thought the quotation particularly appropriate with the Wimbledon tennis championships having just been completed.

And while Laver was talking about how to win a tennis match, his words also apply to giving a presentation.  Too often people get flustered by small mistakes when speaking.  Keep moving to the next point, regardless of your errors. Usually your audience won't notice.

In our workshops, we focus on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is tight, simple and focused on audience needs. Speechworks teaches a simple Formula for focusing on listener needs.  We believe that if you have strong content, you will be more confident when you get up to speak.
  • How to deliver the message in a style that connects with the listeners.  We focus on eye contact, gestures, voice energy, and facial energy. Our coaches will give you private feedback on where you most need to improve.

Consider attending an upcoming workshop.  We’ll help you focus on your next point.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net.
