13 Public Speaking Pros Share Their Best Tips and Horror Stories – Shopify

13 Public Speaking Pros Share Their Best Tips and Horror Stories – Shopify | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.shopify.com - August 8, 2016 11:23 PM

What are you scared of?

If you ask most people, they might say public speaking. In fact, nearly ¾ of people are terrified of getting up in front of a crowd and talking.

As your business picks up, you’ll probably have to start facing your fears of public speaking more and more often. You can send as many cold emails and calls as you want, but big deals get done in person. From investor meetings to team presentations, business owners need to project confidence while convincing people to think their way on a regular basis.

While public speaking might be one of the most common fears out there, there are lots of people who do it all the time. Whether they’re musicians, TV hosts, or entrepreneurs, commanding a crowd is a key skill set for ambitious people in every industry.

I asked 13 professional public speakers for their advice. Here's what they had to say....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Lots of good ideas about speaking better from these experts. And some great horror stories.

7 Common Public Speaking Tips You Should Ignore | Fast Company

7 Common Public Speaking Tips You Should Ignore | Fast Company | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - December 4, 2015 11:40 PM

Lots of people dread public speaking. It’s also something most professionals will need to attempt at some point. Consequently, there’s a lot of advice out there on how to conquer your fears and engage the audience. Unfortunately, a lot of this advice will do nothing of the sort, and may make the situation worse. I asked frequent speakers for the worst advice they’ve been given. If you want to feel comfortable on stage, ignore anyone who tells you these gems....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Yes, it's time to put these old chestnuts to bed.

How to Design an Awesome Presentation (Even if You’re Not a Designer) | Design Shack

How to Design an Awesome Presentation (Even if You’re Not a Designer) | Design Shack | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From designshack.net - September 2, 2015 3:05 AM

The problem with presentation design is often more about time than actual design. But you must take time in crafting stellar presentations. This might include building a template that you use for presentations or honing in your public speaking skills.


Here, we’ll walk through a few ways to design a great presentation that will engage your audience. (While most of these tips are structured around creating a digital presentation, using software such as PowerPoint, the concepts can also be applied to posterboard style presentations as well.)

8 Easy ideas to make your presentation memorable | Mark Schaefer

8 Easy ideas to make your presentation memorable | Mark Schaefer | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.businessesgrow.com - April 14, 2015 1:03 AM

Let’s take a step back and consider how people actually learn from a speech. A few years ago, a research team led by Stephen Kosslyn and composed of experts from three universities studied how presenters could improve their public speaking.


They discovered three steps that must occur to make your presentation memorable:

1. Information needs to be Acquired

2. Information needs to be Processed

3. Information needs to be Connected to Knowledge


If there is any disconnect with these steps your presentation will fall flat. Let’s look at each of these steps and come up with some ideas to help you connect with your audience in a lasting and memorable way....

TED Talk Takeaways: 8 Ways to Hook Your Audience

TED Talk Takeaways: 8 Ways to Hook Your Audience | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From blog.slideshare.net - October 7, 2016 2:05 AM

“You will live 7.5 minutes longer than you would have otherwise, just because you watched this talk.

 

”This was the claim that video game designer Jane McGonigal presented to the crowd during her June 2012 TED talk. As the camera panned over the members of the audience, their faces showed universal skepticism: Was this lady serious?

 

There was something else interesting about that crowd. Despite their doubtful visages, everyone in the audience was drawn in by McGonigal’s words. No one was checking their email, talking to their neighbor or looking at the camera circling in front of them; all eyes were fixated on the (potentially crazy) speaker.

 

Great hooks, like McGonigal’s provocative opening statement, get audiences on the edge of their seats and give them a sense of what’s coming. They allow you to win a crowd’s attention right away and give you a legitimate chance to have a lasting impact....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Great openings create great expectations.

7 solutions to make slick presentations

7 solutions to make slick presentations | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.alphagamma.eu - April 3, 2015 10:08 AM

Speed and agility are traits that define our society today.We avoid reading extensive articles, watching long how-to videos on YouTube or checking websites that are hard to navigate as we usually look for quick and easy solutions. While a technological progress provides us with plenty of utilities, now finding the right one with user-friendly interface and relevant functions becomes a challenge.


Presenting information in a crisp and concise way is something that we need daily needs such utilities as well. So we took our time to find tools that are time-efficient and offer some class in presenting yourself and/or your project....

Speaking and presentation tools you can really use. Recommended reading. 9/10
