The best public speaking tip of all time?

On February 16, 2025 By thesuccessmanual Topic: Remarkable

It is a toss-off between two habits. The first all-timer tip is something we all have been told before - IMAGINE THEY ARE ALL NAKED.

That one doesn't work for you. Well. how about this one
Videotape yourself speaking and watch it.

Things to watch your public speaking tape for:

- Lazy speaking habits, like ummms and aaaaws.
- Lack of eye contact (reading isn’t presenting) and presence.
- Body language issues and distractions.
- Moments when you’re confused by your own material.
- Energy level (do you seem to care about what you’re saying?).
- Personality: are you indistinguishable from a presentation robot?


Which one works for you?
