Public Speaking & Presentation Skills - 2 Critical Points
Public Speaking & Presentation Skills - 2 Critical Points
If you're going to do any kind of public speaking at all, and if you only do one thing to improve your skill and get much better results, that you need to pay attention to 2 critical points in your presentation:
The very first words that come out of your mouth, and - you guessed it! - the very last words you say.
The first words you speak, according to a very strong strategy, should be what is known as a "grabber". Think of this like the headline of a newspaper or magazine article - you're flipping pages looking for something that "grabs" your attention.
Your grabber needs to make people say to themselves "that can't be true!" or "you've got to be kidding me!" or "that can't be true" or "what!? I didn't know that!".
An opening grabber right up front means people are sitting up and paying attention.
Just as important - and perhaps even more important - are your last words. Don't fall apart here with some weak drivel like most speakers do. Clearly and concisely outline exactly what action you want people to take.
It's best if you can close with a strong incentive to take some action, and your close should follow a very tight summary of your presentation.
Now, go to www.SeminarAcademy.com and sign up for my weekly Success Quick Tips because you'll get all kinds of juicy tips for free and automatically sent to you without you having to lift a finger.
