Public Speaking - A 1-Step Formula To Success!

Excuse me, but will everybody just slow down a little please!

One of the biggest problems I witness over and over again when people speak in front of others publicly is the frantic pace they speak at. It doesn't seem to matter if these people are men or women, old or young, new or very experienced but speaking too fast brings all sorts of problems to you as a public speaker.

Now, you could argue that I'm just a little slow, but considering I am probably one of the youngest
qualified coaches about, teaching modern public speaking courses for modern audiences, I know that this is not the case!

Then, you could argue that you have a lot to say in a small time frame, and that's when ill tell you quite bluntly that you can say all the cool, interesting things in the world, but if you say them too fast, nobody is listening or understanding, sorry!!

I recently gave a presentation to an audience of around 150 people I guess, and as some of you know by now, I like to test my public speaking tips before I write about them and include the material in my public speaking training guides. So on this occasion, surrounded by what I call 'fast talkers', I decided to be a 'slow talker', and while doing this I discovered the most incredible benefit that you will want to know about.

You see, when you slow down to what you feel is an uncomfortably slow pace, your nerves will almost disappear (and yes, I do still get nervous and you should too, it's a natural reaction and it shouldn't go away) because you don't have to think about and choose your words at speed anymore. Then, you will notice that your breathing will become natural and normal, not shallow and kind of 'puffy', which means that you get more power and volume.

But wait, there's more! As you slow down you will naturally attract attention to your main points because they are not cluttered with words. Your face will move with expression because it has time to react to the words you are speaking and at about point, you will notice that your audience is actually listening to you, watching you closely because of your believable expressions and OMG they understand what you are saying, oh dear, they might actually go ahead and act on what you say this time!

And don't worry, if you are not ready for this kind of result, it's OK, just speed up again and everything will go back to normal - Good luck!
