Public Speaking Training
 
Public speaking is one of the essential skills forsuccess. Not only in your career but also in almost everyaspect of life, from communicating at home to persuadingothers to help you in a cause you believe in. So, , we got aman who knows how to deliver a message – Mr.
JohnCummings
.Many know John for his tireless support of the chapter,but many don
’
t realize he is the Public Spokesman forOahu Civil Defense. He
’
s entrusted with telling the publicwhat
’
s happening in times of great stress. John developedhis ability to deliver the news, not only on the job but also through his own efforts to constantly improve.A full room came to get the benefit of his training and they weren
’
t disappointed. The most tellingmoment came when John
’
s PowerPoint presentation died in the middle of his talk. Not only did he keepgoing, he did it smoothly and without hesitation. It was the best possible lesson in public speaking.Reading this you might be hoping for some of the tips and techniques we learned that night. Lucky foryou, we
’
ve got some:
•
 
DON’T apologize for being nervous. No one will know you are unless you call attention to it.
•
 
KNOW your material. The better you know it, the less anxious you’ll be about presenting it.
•
 
PRACTICE your speech, your gestures, eye contact & volume. It will pay off at speech time.
•
 
VISUALIZE your speaking success. Create expectation in yourself that you’ll do well.
•
 
PAUSE for effect occasionally, especially when you make important points that you want remembered. 
There was more gold given to us that night, but we can
’
t fit it all in here. Suffice it to say that you misseda great evening. Who knows – maybe we
’
ll do follow up with deeper Public Speaking techniques. What doyou think, John?
