How to Deliver a Remarkable Speech
Introduction
Having owned a National Speakers Bureau, I’ve learned invaluable lessons from thousands of professional speakers on delivering impactful speeches. Here are key techniques that I share with clients aspiring to become paid speakers or business professionals aiming to deliver exceptional presentations.
1. Speak from the Heart
Believe wholeheartedly in your message. If you’re passionate about your topic, the words will flow naturally. Share your fundamental beliefs and the truths you hold dear.
2. Define Your Objectives
Identify two to three specific goals for your speech. Consider what you want your audience to do: think differently, act differently, or implement changes.
3. Write and Simplify
Ensure your message is necessary and clear enough that even an eight-year-old could understand. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with your content?"enough to speak confidently without relying on notes.
4. Engage Your Audience
Establish a connection within the first 60 seconds and maintain engagement throughout. Pay attention to audience reactions and expand on points that resonate well.
5. Know Your Audience
Research who will be attending and their expectations. Understand their demographics and the conference theme. Your purpose should align with theirs, providing not just what they want, but also what they need to hear.
6. Prepare the Room
Familiarize yourself with the presentation space ahead of time. Ensure lighting allows you to see your audience, fostering a more connected and engaging atmosphere.
7. Adopt a Natural Approach
Speak conversationally, as if in a living room with a smaller group. For larger audiences, establish eye contact with different individuals to create a sense of connection.
8. Minimize Filler Words
Filler words like “um” and “ah” stem from uncertainty. Master your topic and rehearse diligently. Practice with a mirror or a friendly audience without focusing on memorizing exact wording.
9. Share Personal Stories
Personal stories foster relatability and trust. Share your experiences openly, enhancing your message with humor and visuals, and treating the audience as friends.
10. Conclude with Impact
Develop a clear action plan. Encourage audience members to share their key takeaways and actionable ideas for immediate and future implementation. Summarize your speech and provide a compelling call to action.
