SkyQuestCom's Success Blog: Learn how to become a better speaker!
Being able to speak well in public virtually guarantees your career and personal success. Every time you speak in front of an audience, you must be able to radiate confidence and create an impact. If you do, you’ll win them over! In this article, Gerald Green – Asia ’s top public speaking coach, shares 5 powerful principles based on the acronym M.A.G.I.C that will help you to sell yourself and your ideas even if you’ve never sold a single thing before.
M – Myth. There’s no such thing as a born speaker. Anyone can be a good speaker. All it takes is a strong desire to be a good speaker and the actions you take to become one.
A– Audience. Remember, speaking is like fishing; you bait the book with what the fish likes, not what you like! So talk in terms of your audience’s interests because that’s what they are here for.
G– Be Genuine. Be sincere. Be yourself. Don’t try to be somebody else. You can emulate, but not imitate good speakers. Adapt their skills and mannerisms, but don’t adopt everything.
I– Be Interesting. It’s a cardinal sin to be uninteresting. Grab your audience’s interest with an unusual story, provocative question, or a famous quote that relates to everyone.
C – Clarity. Always be clear. Keep it simple. Don’t use bombastic words. Can you imagine at the end of the day if somebody comes up and says, “Ladies and gentlemen, it is customary to extinguish all the illumination before you vacate the premises.” To put things simply, the person could have said, “'Please turn off the lights when we leave this room.”
