I love giving people public speaking tips as I want to help them improve how they present themselves and their businesses.  Many people who attend networking events still do not know how to deliver a one-minute pitch effectively. 

A definite no-no in public speaking is to read from a script.  This indicates one of a number of issues which are going on:

poor preparation - the person doesn’t know what they want to say.  If you have insufficient time to prepare then you have two options - 1) don’t speak at all 2) keep it extremely simple and 3) use cue cards with key words

a lack of confidence

Either way, what happens is the audience doesn’t believe what you’re saying because what you are saying and how you are saying are unlikely to be congruent.

In summary, never read from a script - it will likely do you more harm than good.

Confidence building is vital as confidence is everything.  In fact, it’s the bedrock of success.  Without it, nothing works properly.  So what does confidence mean?  It simply means with faith, so self-confidence means with faith in self.  One of the things I do when working with people is to help them with confidence building and lead them back to their inner self-confidence so whether they need to stand up and speak at a networking meeting or create and achieve their heart-felt desires and goals, I am  their partner.

In short, I am a powerful catalyst for positive change.  Let me help you help yourself.  Call me on 01202 743961.
