ATTITUDE
Attitude matters a great deal withdelivery.
A confident presence is an aspect of yourcredibility and persuasiveness.
Yet people have speaker apprehension,fear of speaking in front of an audience.
This fear can become a self-fulfillingprophecy: We can make ourselves fail . .. or succeed.

Youre just the messenger.
Dont stay focused on yourself or howpeople are regarding you. Its not justabout you.
Of the three elements necessary to thespeaking process: a message, anaudience for which the message is
designed, and a messenger, themessenger is less important.

DO
Be conversational. A public speakingsituation is still personal, if you speaknaturally and make eye contact. Look at
people. Theyll relate to you. Move like you do in normal life, but much
less.
Stay focused on your material. Youre justthe messenger, not the point of themessage. If youve chosen topics well, itsvital that you get this information toaudience.

DO NOT
Give up on yourself. Theressomething you do well you that may
not know yet. Get help when you need it. Dont go
away and try to get it perfect onyour own before you let anyone see it.
Wait until the last minute. Its a lousyhabit anyway that holds you backfrom your goals.

a week early and say them out loudevery day.

looks good on the page, but doesnt fitthe tongue.
It will remind you to keep languagetight.

Vocal Expression
Be appropriate in tone. Sometimeswhen we get nervous we laughinappropriately during serious moments.We may even become self-satirizing whennervous, playing as if it werentimportant.
While you dont want to take yourself soseriously that you pressure yourself intoerrors, you should treat the processwith respect.

Nonverbal Expression
The nonverbal frames the verbalin this sense: Whichever behavior
interrupts the other is the one thattakes audience focus.
If I move to draw their attention -
gesture or take a step - then speak,theyll hear me.
If I start to speak, then move
aimlessly, theyll watch but not hear.

Nonverbal Expression
Stand still for a moment and makeeye contact with your audience.
Then start. Speak only once youvemade contact.

pace around through the speech.Choose 2 or 3 places whereyoull take a step or two.
