As Margeret Atwood said, “A voice is a human gift; it should
be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness
and silence go together.” Indeed, we are one of the most superior creatures on
Earth being gifted with the most sophisticated form of communication. With our
intelligence and technology, we have taken it even further to an altogether
different level where communication is the key to everything. Internet is the
biggest example, which lets us communicate irrespective of our location or familiarity
with others. Communication has made every individual powerful like never before
in history.
With power comes responsibility. History vouches for it that
great communicators become great leaders. Therefore, it is important that we
use every platform and opportunity of communication sensitively and
responsibly. For, every word that we utter might influence someone, leading
them take important decisions in their lives. What we say also represents who
we are and, unless we are able to choose and put our words rightly, we might be
misjudged by others. This obviously indicates that what we speak needs to be
extremely relevant and we should really design it well; so none can play around
with our words.
Public speaking, especially, is a platform that gives us an
opportunity to speak one-to-many, and achieve visibility and popularity in our
domain, whether we are students, professionals, etc. Therefore, we should go
really prepared in line with what exactly we want to speak and who exactly is
our audience.
There are a few steps we need to follow to deliver a good
speech:
1.
Know your audience well.
2.
Understand the occasion and its objectives.
3.
Understand the topic and the current trends on
it.
4.
Find out about the time limit for your speech.
5.
Put your thoughts in a coherent manner with an
introduction, a body and a conclusion.
6.
Depending on the topic, you can end your speech
open-ended or close ended.
7.
Choose vocabulary in such a way that it is
perfectly comprehensible to your audience.
8.
Avoid repetitions of words and thoughts.
9.
Utilize the limited time given to you with new
and multiple ideas.
10. Always
greet your audience at the outset.
11. Have
the right expressions and tone.
12. End
with an impressionable statement, followed by thanking the audience.
