To answer this question, let's look at thedefinition of public speaking first.Public speaking is the skill of:···conveying a message effectively to a group of peoplein a number of everyday situationsdepending on the purpose or intention of your speech.Public speaking is such an integral part of our lives. Many people believe that publicspeaking is the arena for professional speakers only - yet the skill of being able tospeak in public touches our lives more often than you think.Not everyone is a "born speaker". However it is veryimportant that everyone nurtures and develops thisvery important life skill.Simply put, public speaking is:······a manager leading a staff meeting of four orfive colleaguesa teacher addressing a parent academic eveningbest man presenting a speech at a weddinga salesperson promoting a new product to agroup of sales representativeproposing a toast at a 21st birthday partyand saying farewell in a eulogyEffective public speaking encompasses:···engaging your audience andspeaking knowledgeablyto convey your informative, educational or entertaining messageA great public speaker:·····approaches speaking in public positively - minimizing normal speaking nerveshas faith in themselves and the importance of their messageengages the audience and keeps their attentioninfluences the audience according to the intended purpose of their speechmakes the audience feel worthy and valuedThe ability to speak in public is a life skill that can and should be developed.

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCHAPTER TWO - INTRODUCE YOURSELF – MAKE AN IMPACTIntroduce yourself with panache!Sooner or later you will be asked to present an icebreaker introductory speech aboutyourself.GUIDELINES FOR A SAMPLE INTRODUCTION SPEECHPurposeTo introduce yourself to your fellow students / colleagues / book club / delegates.PreparationRemember, you only have a few minutes, so you cannot tell your audienceeverything about yourself.So, choose 3 or 4 main areas of your life and elaborate with a few key ideas on eachof them.Depending on your age and the composition of your audience, you may want toselect a few of the categories below to include for further discussion:·········your education and qualificationsyour work experienceyour family and backgroundwhy you are currently on this courseyour future ambitions, dreams and aspirationsfavorite hobbiesfavorite sportssignificant experiencessomething that the audience may find surprisingPractical Tip·Keep a key card and pen handy.Page 6

Find The Words – How To Say It Best·Jot down the 3 or 4 main categories in a mind map as sub-headings.·Flesh out the sub-headings with bulleted keywords [4-5] under each mainpoint.·Find a quote that is significant and meaningful to your life.·Memorize it and conclude your icebreaker speech with a powerful, relevantquote that leaves the audience with insight into YOU!Introducing yourself can also be your key to interview success. You are starting froma baseline position where the interviewees have no experience of who you are orwhat you are like.Thoughtful, structured and logical - you can't go wrong!Page 7

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCHAPTER THREE - EFFECTIVE NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATIONEffective communication skills include body language, eye-contact, andphysiological factors.It is very important to make time in your speech preparation for these importantfactors - they can make the difference between a good speech and a speech thatthe audience will never forget!BODY LANGUAGEMeaningful body language will support the verbal message of your speech.As a result, you should consider which movements will enhance your message andwhich will detract from your message.Try and eliminate disrupting mannerisms as far as possible.Consider if you have any of the mannerisms listed in the table below - then practiceyour speech and try and minimize them completely.Swaying from side to side continuously or sporadically?Swaying from heel to toe and back again?Crossing your legs - too suggestive of needing the cloakroom?Licking your lips nervously?Pacing up and down or left and right?Flicking your fringe out of your face or twirling strands of hair?Other nervous gestures that may reveal your tension?EYE CONTACTYour ability to use eye contact effectively has the potential to be one of yourgreatest assets.···Your eyes convey emotion.You can use your eyes to control, hold and even manipulate your audience.Eye contact allows you to get a sense of the audience's response to yourspeech and you can thus adjust your oratory skills accordingly.Page 8

Find The Words – How To Say It BestLook at individual members of the audience - don't look at the walls or the ceiling.Pinpoint specific people and communicate directly - don't gaze at your audience in amisty, general way.Learn your speech and speak to your audience - being too note-bound affects youreye contact negatively.Practice, practice, practice - you will soon feel at easePHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORSYou need to create a first impression that reels your audience in and keepstheir attention focused on you and your speech.Effective public speaking is underscored by a professional and polishedappearance. You must "look the part".Lee Mildon says, "People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.Professionals say . wear a big smile [an important aspect of non-verbalcommunication] and look fantastic.It doesn't mean that you have to look like a movie star. It simply means that youhave to spend time making yourself look presentable.····your hair should be neatclothes clean and neatly pressedyour shoes should be polished and in a good conditiondress appropriately and be mindful of any dress codes that are consideredrespectful in terms of religion and tradition.CHOOSE YOUR CLOTHES CAREFULLYWhere will you be speaking? Is it in the classroom, theclubhouse or at a celebration with confetti?The event or occasion of your key note address willdetermine the clothing choices that would be mostappropriate.···your attire needs to be more formal if you arepresenting, for example, a high schoolgraduation addressmore casual, but still smart sportswear, for atennis clubhouse speechand possibly formal or semi-formal attire for awedding speechPage 9

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCONSIDER YOUR AUDIENCEIt is also important to spend some time considering your audience when selectingyour clothes before your speech:·will you be talking to captains, a corporation or college graduates?Coordinate your clothing choices to coincide with the composition of youraudience.If your audience is the guests at the captain's dinner banquet, you will need towear black tie.Should you be addressing corporate delegates at a conference, then your dress codeis likely to be semi-formal or possibly business casual - the same is likely toapply to an auditorium of guests at a graduation ceremony.DressCodeCode ExplainedSportswear Long pants and a collared shirt [call the clubhouse prior to yourspeaking engagement just to be sure]CasualTasteful jeans and long pants, smart T-shirts and sandals, shirts with orwithout sleeves or collars [similar to a smarter barbeque occasion]BusinessCasualTrousers, blouses and modest skirts are in - jeans are out. For the men- no tie required, but a collared shirt is a must.SemiFormalFor both men and women, a conservative business suit in muted colorswould be appropriate. Men should wear a tie and the ladies shouldwear closed shoes.CocktailLadies - this is your opportunity to show off your little black dress withsandals. Gentlemen - formal business attire with a jacket and tie.FormalElegant dresses or formal pants suits in a smarter fabric for ladies withhigh heels [open or closed] and the gentlemen will need a dark suitwith a conservative tieBlack TieThis one is nice and easy. Ladies - a long dress and Gentlemen - atuxedo.White TieMen - long white or black tailcoats with matching trousers. Ladies long formal evening owns with gloves.Page 10

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCOLOR CONNOISSEUR FOR CONVINCING COMMUNICATIONWhen it comes to public speaking it is also worthwhile tokeep in mind the inherent message that may becommunicated through the color choices of your clothing.These are by no means definitive, but they are definitelyworth considering.A knock out presentation will give due cognizance toeffective presentation, appropriate dress code, the use ofvisual aids to enhance your message and effectiveimplementation of body language and gestures.ColorPossible Underlying Connotationblackauthority, credible, power - [added bonus - slimming]bluepeaceful, calm, tranquilbrowndependable, solid, reliable, trustworthygraywise, intelligent, clever, diligentgreenwholesome, nurturing, caringpinkempathetic, compassionate, encouragingpurplestylish, sophisticated, affluent, achieverredcaptivating, inspiring, exuberant, creative, passionatewhitelight, uncomplicated, fresh, peaceful, cleansingyellowoptimistic, charismatic, bright, encouraging, warm, energeticPage 11

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCHAPTER FOUR - PREPARING AND PRESENTING A TOASTIt is a privilege and an honor to present a toast and you need to make sure that it ismemorable and befitting of the trust that has been placed in you.It may be wedding toasts, retirement toasts, birthday toasts or funny toasts thathave your heart rate elevated and your mind spinning. Relax.As with most things inpractice, practice, practice.life - prepare well, follow the guidelines andThen stand back and wait for the applause!The great thing about toasts is that, all they really need are an outline and. a KISS- so keep it short and simple!HOW TO PREPARE AND PRESENT A TOAST OF NOTEBEFORE – BRAINSTORM, PLAN, WRITE AND LEARN:Make reference of your relationship to the person you will be honoring with yourtoast.Tell a suitable and relevant story that you recall or may have shared with thetoastee.Remember to consider your audience - the story mustbe appropriate.Have empathy for toastee's feelings - no one likes to beembarrassed - especially in front of a big group. If you areaiming at a funny toast, be mindful of the differencebetween laughing at someone and laughing with someone.Learn your toast - pretty much off-by-heart. Your cuecards are there to help you if necessary, but you shouldn'trely on them.Check that the microphone is working and that youknow how to adjust it to suit your height.Ensure that the podium is visible to the entire audience and that you have easyaccess to it.Make sure that everyone has champagne or wine and a glass to fill.Oh - remember the KISS! [keep it short and simple]Page 12

Find The Words – How To Say It BestDURING – SCAN, SETTLE, SEARCH, SAY AND SIPScan the audience to confirm that the honored guest is currently in the room andthat they haven't popped out for a few minutes.Settle the guests by clinking purposefully and audibly on your glass to geteveryone's attention. [no bonus points awarded for breaking the glass by clinkingtoo enthusiastically]Search for your guest's face as you start speaking and when you end.Say your toast with the glass on the table until it is needed. We all tend to talk withour hands [no credit for spilling your champagne with over-exuberant gesturing].Raise your glass to your face height, invite the other guests to charge their glassesand to stand, re-establish eye contact with the toastee as you say the words"to.". The audience will mirror this action and phrasing.Sip - don't down - your glass of bubbly.AFTER – RELAX AND CELEBRATEThat's it – you’ll have presented a toast to be proud of.Page 13

Find The Words – How To Say It BestCHAPTER FIVE - GUIDELINES FOR INCORPORATING HUMORGreat funny speeches should aim to engage and entertain your audience. Itdoesn't matter if it is a funny retirement speech, funny wedding speeches or evenfunny speech topics - we love them.Humor can be such a great stepping stone to captivate your audience and keep theirattention. If you have their attention, you’ll get your message across and thatculminates in a successful speech - mission accomplished!However, humor also has the potential to alienate your audience. Used incorrectlyor inappropriately, humor can be an obstacle to a successful speech.Alienated audience 's poor listening skills 's message lost.So keep the humor coming - but do so wisely and judiciously. Keep our steppingstones and obstacles advice in mind and you'll get the balance just right!HUMOR AS A STEPPING STONE TO GREAT FUNNY SPEECHESA - Analyze yourself and your audience. You need to be relatively comfortable withhumor and making people laugh. Try to be as objectiveas possible - do you normally make your friends laughwhen you tell a story? Similarly, is your audience going tobe able to relate to your "style" of humor?B - Be brief. Keep your story interesting but relativelyshort. Your story should be long enough to include vividvisual descriptions, but not that long that the audiencekeeps hoping for the punch line.C - Current and common can help you to introducehumor into your speech. Universally "funny" situationswill appeal to more audience members and so too willissues that are more current and news worthy.D - Delve into your own experience. Very often truth isfunnier than fiction. So, don’t be afraid to draw on your own experience. We all lovetelling funny stories about ourselves and our own experiences. If you have anappropriate anecdote and you think it is funny - go for it. If you think it is funny, youwill tell the story enthusiastically, the laughter will creep into your voice and mostpeople will appreciate the spirit of your story - and that can be pretty infectious.E - Everyday, local exaggeration can be an effective tool to include humor inyour speech. The audience must "get" the humor and be able to relate to it. A usefulhint is to "localize" your story by using local jargon and phrasing. Exaggeration andPage 14

Find The Words – How To Say It Bestover-acting [within reason] can send the message home more effectively and youraudience will "get" it."Laugh and the world laughs with you. but "HUMOR AS AN OBSTACLE TO GREAT FUNNY SPEECHESA - Avoid telling jokes unless you have told the joke to an appreciative audiencebefore and you know that you will get the timing of the punch line spot-on.B - Be selective. Your humorous story should relate to the overall theme of yourpresentation. A random, unrelated story will result in the audience concentratingon, "What has this story got to do with the topic?" And if they are not listening, thepunch line will not be as effective.C - Carefully reconsider using humor based on politics, religion or social status.They can all be potential mine-fields to tiptoe around in and they won't facilitate arelaxed presentation or toast.D - Don't be tempted to "overkill" a particular line that gets a laugh. By all means use it once or twice with appropriate exaggeration - and then stick to the "less ismore" approach."Cry and you cry alone."Ok.so did you hear the one about. - just kidding!Go on - you've got work to do - make the world laugh. Such an amazing gift andtalent!Page 15
