Public Speaking ABC

 

Public Speaking - Understanding Your Audience

 

Successful public speaking requires an understanding of what factors you can and cannot control. You can control your own behaviors, but you cannot control the audience’s reaction to your presentation. If one person in an audience of 100 does not seem to enjoy your presentation, this is not your fault. Perhaps the man who is fidgeting in the front row is merely worried about his own upcoming presentation. The women in the back row who seems to be falling asleep may have been up all night with a sick child.

People who dread public speaking often believe that the audience wants them to fail. However, this assumption is entirely untrue. Your audience will undoubtedly apply a much more lenient standard to your performance. Since public speaking is one of the most common fears among adults, many people in the audience will admire you for having the courage to express your thoughts.
