My Public Speaking Lesson Plans

By Ronald Myers

I'm here to share with you some of my public speaking lesson plans that should help you with your speeches. Most people are scared to do this, but I think it really boils down to a combination of not learning it as a child and embarrassing yourself in front of a group. I hope these will help you improve your skills, so you can start to enjoy the skill of public speaking.

Positive Body Language: I know when you're up in front of an audience, this is the last thing on your mind, but try to make a conscious effort to do it. The words you say only make up about 10% of communication, that means your tonality and body language are making up the rest. Make you're standing up straight and not slouching. Also smile. If you're up there with the body language that this is a nightmare, than your audience is going to feel like your speech is a nightmare.

Simplify Your Speech: The topic you choose your speech on probably has a million different points you can talk on. Unfortunately, your speech won't have enough time for them and your audience won't care to hear them. That is why it is important to have one main thesis and three points to make. This allows you to break up your speech into intro, point1, point2, point3, and conclusion. It keeps the flow simple and allows you to stick to the point.

Eye Contact: You have to look out at the audience, no matter how unpleasant it feels. You don't actually have to make eye contact with people, you can just look at whatever you want. I find it is easier to follow a triangle of things out in the audience, so people get the impression that I look at all parts of the audience.

Becoming a charismatic and moving speaker is in the grasp of all people. If you're looking to learn to transform yourself from an ordinary speaker to extraordinary speaker, check out Public Speaking Ebooks.
