Oral Practice • Public speech = Private fear. • Are you fear of making a public speech in your company or in front of your boss? • How to cope with your stage fright? WHAT’S YOUR STORY???
Tips for you to prepare a speech or a talk: • Make sure you know your audience and then write with them in mind • Think in terms of narrative, such as personal stories that bring subjects alive, and repetition • Prepare more material than you need • Practice • Do not read off a script • Recognise the difference between formal and informal communication • Make the signposting very clear • Anticipate questions your audience might have and address them during your talk • Don’t rely too much on the PowerPoint presentation. • You need a strong finish
Thanks for Listening! Goodnight!
