Excerpt
Congratulations!
You’ve taken the first step to becoming one of a very select group of speakers in the world — those who have what is known in the speaking industry as "The Skills". People who get paid well to speak all share one of two traits: either they're famous, or they own "The Skills". To be able to move your audience, you must know how to keep them focused on you, engaged in your message, and thinking on the same page, every step of the way.
Keeping an audience with you every step of the way is simply not possible with the way most speakers behave when in front of a group. Most of us have been taught from an early age to speak in a way that sends the wrong signals to your audience — in many cases exactly the opposite of what you would like to signal. Worse, these standard behaviors actually reduce your cognitive capacity at the time you most desperately need it.
At PublicSpeakingSkills.com, we have been training people from business, politics, the military, and the clergy for over 15 years in The Skills you are about to discover. During that time, we have had the privilege to work with over 30,000 people from all walks of life, and here is what we have learned: 99% of speakers engage in exactly the same behaviors, and consequently produce similar results. In fact, in our onsite programs, we begin with an exercise that "benchmarks" how each student speaks before training. In every one of these exercises, we are able to predict to the second what each participant will do during their initial delivery. To the second!
The Skills can be learned
Most people present the way they do simply because they've never been shown the proper way. And though many people have learned public speaking in high school or college, that education tends to focus on content rather than behaviors. If you have taken such a class, it is likely your assignments were to create a series of speeches: The Informative, The Inspirational, The Motivational, etc. Sound familiar? But you likely were taught nothing about the actual delivery, other than to look at everyone in the audience and watch your umms and ahhs. Worse, you may even have received positive feedback for your speaking behaviors by people either too polite or simply not knowledgeable enough to tell you otherwise.
The good news is that you can learn to do it right. This book is about learning The Skills to deliver in a way that, no matter what the topic or tone or reason for your speaking, people will listen. This book will teach new speakers the right way, and it will help veteran speakers, who have not been effective, to vastly improve their presentation results.
This book will teach you to:
• Speak with authority
• Eliminate your natural anxiety, completely
• Understand what the audience expects from you
• Embrace the idea that it’s okay to go into a presentation unrehearsed
• Feel comfortable with not knowing what you’re going to say until just before you say it
• Accept that the most powerful thing you can say is sometimes nothing at all
In other words, this book will teach you The Skills.
