6 Incredibly Simple But Vital Public Speaking Tips

We all need a reminder from time to time;

1. Speak clearly and slowly,
2. Focus on three people in the audience ,
3. Put one foot in front, so you don’t rock,
4. Use hand gestures to better engage your listeners ,
5. Use short slides and explain them (people either listen to you or read your slides),
6. Don’t say ‘am’ or ‘um’ when thinking what to say next. Finish on point that can be pondered by your listeners, pause, and formulate your next sentence.

Confidence is key, believe in your content and you will feel confident.
