Have you ever had the opportunity to speak in front of a large group? Like most of us, you probably get nervous. This is normal. Speaking about how you help others can effectively help grow your business.
Here are 8 valuable speaking tips I’ve learned from Toastmasters.
• Relax by taking a deep breath off stage before you begin.
• Use the power of the pause. It gives your audience time to process.
• Be prepared. Practice, practice, practice your speech.
• Time yourself. A 5-7 minute speech equals 600-720 written words.
• Speak appropriately for your audience.
• Learn from your evaluators as they offer ways to improve a speech.
• Use body language and gestures.
• Be expressive. Add vocal variety and tonality.
