Public Speaking – The Confidence and Flair!

By Abhishek Haridasan

Many people label it as art, while some consider it to be an inherent talent. Let’s not forget, some people develop it in due course of time, as it becomes a business need or an occupational lift.

Public speaking is probably the greatest art that hardly gets any applause or confetti rain. It’s one of the most essential traits a human must possess to have their views heard, ideas taken seriously or in general put their voice out in the cosmos.

It’s also a method to gauge the confidence level of an individual through their methods of putting across a point, without breaking a sweat! Public speaking is that moment of joy, that’s a trinity blend of acumen, insights and human possibilities.

CEOs, brand managers, and innovation promoters; if you’ve ever seen a TEDTalk or watched other leaders take the stage to have their point heard by millions, you will notice their body language goes into a zen-like zone as they drive their point, make data speak and have others jump off their seats.

Whether it’s a virtual meet or addressing thousands in person, a confident public speaker will:

1. Make the audience comfortable with their voice and pitch selected
2. Define a narrative that engages and captivates the imagination of millions
3. Present themselves in the most normal manner possible, without being too jargon-heavy
4. Provide insights to everyone by cutting across livelihoods and age groups
5. Leave the audience wanting more, and deliver with precision

Being a public speaker for the ages is a task that one takes up, especially when they have reached a certain level of mastery and indulges themselves in giving back to society. However, public speaking can get better if an individual understands the pulse of the audience through practice, which eventually leads to perfection!

Start today, start tomorrow and build your followership by delivering speeches that are mesmerising and memorable!
