Five elements

1. Who2. What

3. To whom

4. Medium

5. What Effect "who is saying whatto whom using what medium

with what effects?" The purpose of public speaking can range from

simply transmitting information, to motivating

people to act, to simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to change the

emotions of their listeners, not just inform them.

Hints and Tips contd.. Tell stories

Stories make you a real person not just a deliverer of information. Use personal experiences to bring your material to life. No matter how dry your material is, you can always find a way to

humanise it. How to use the public speaking environment

Try not to get stuck in one place. Use all the space that's available to you. Move around. If your space is confined (say a meeting room or even presenting

at a table) use stronger body language to convey your message. Technology

Speak to your audience not your slides. Your slides are there to support you not the other way around. Ideally, slides should be graphics and not words (people read

faster than they hear and will be impatient for you to get to thenext point).

If all the technology on offer fails, it's still you they've come tohear.
