Most of us
are afraid of public speaking! But, don't we all hear public speakers speaking
so effortlessly at an event and dream to become like them? But if you search
online the qualities of a speaker, you will see most of them saying: public
speakers should not be nervous, use more powerful words, etc. But don't you
think that this pre-defined set of rules makes us harsher and more unrealistic
rather than human-like? So, what are the qualities that a public speaker must
possess?
Qualities Of a Successful Public Speaker
●
Be unapologetically yourself
This is an
important quality a women motivational speaker should follow. Of course, there are specific rules that you have to
abide by, but then, be authentically you! For example, there is a rule that
says- " Don't wear bold lipstick." But you must dress the way you
want to, and in that way, you will motivate someone to wear something they
love! As a motivational speaker, that will be your greatest achievement.
●
Share your experiences
Do you
dream of becoming a leadership speaker?
If so, then you must share your real-life experiences with your audience. That
way, they will feel connected to you. They will see you as a real person with
emotions and life experience, not a perfect human being, unable to relate with!
●
Engage with your audience
How can you
expect your audience to be interested in you when the speech you are delivering
is all boring? In order to become a successful public speaker, your speech must
be conversational and engage your
viewers. This is all the more essential for a keynote speaker. You can engage with your audience by weaving a
story around the theme of the event, or can even sparkle a little humour on
your speech as well to spice it up a bit!
● All fresh and lively
Being fresh
and lively is the key to becoming successful as a public speaker. Nobody likes
to listen to a dull person with no energy and enthusiasm! Being all cheerful
and fresh adds life to your talk and you will always be remembered for your
enthusiasm and zeal!
Conclusion
If your dream is to be a successful
inspirational speaker, be irresistible and unstoppable. Be bold and lead the
game of your life! Only then you will be able to inspire and motivate others!
