1 Know your audience

Before you start crafting your speech, you need to understand who you are speaking to and what they expect from you. Research your audience's background, interests, needs, and preferences, and tailor your message accordingly. Use appropriate language, tone, and examples that resonate with them. Knowing your audience will help you avoid irrelevant or inappropriate content and create a connection with them.

Struggling with confidence in public speaking is common but conquerable. I always say that firstly acknowledge it's a skill, not inherent. Practice regularly, start small, like speaking in front of friends or joining groups like Toastmasters. Prepare meticulously; know your material inside out. Visualize success and focus on your message, not perfection. Embrace nerves as energy. Seek feedback and learn from each experience. With persistence and patience, confidence will grow and so will you.

2 Plan your speech

A well-structured speech will help you deliver your message effectively and confidently. Start with a clear and catchy introduction that grabs your audience's attention and outlines your main points. Then, develop each point with supporting evidence, facts, or stories. Use transitions to link your ideas and guide your audience. Finally, end with a strong and memorable conclusion that summarizes your message and calls your audience to action.

3 Practice your speech

Practicing your speech will help you improve your fluency, accuracy, and confidence. Record yourself and listen to your voice, pace, tone, and pronunciation. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and work on them. Seek feedback from someone you trust and incorporate their suggestions. Repeat your speech until you feel comfortable and confident. You can also practice in front of a mirror, a friend, or a small group to simulate the real situation.

Practice. It taught me how to make a good presentation, capture everyone's attention, and led me to obtain some of my professional certifications. Besides that, receiving feedback is another way to improve your speech.

4 Manage your nerves

It is normal to feel nervous before or during a public speech, but you can manage your anxiety and use it to your advantage. Some ways to cope with your nerves are: breathing deeply and slowly, visualizing a positive outcome, focusing on your message and not on yourself, smiling and making eye contact with your audience, and using positive affirmations. Remember that your audience wants you to succeed and that you have something valuable to share.

5 Engage your audience

One of the keys to a successful public speech is to engage your audience and keep them interested. You can do this by: using rhetorical questions, anecdotes, or humor to spark their curiosity, using gestures, facial expressions, and vocal variety to convey your emotions and enthusiasm, using props, visuals, or multimedia to support your message and make it more appealing, and inviting your audience to participate, comment, or ask questions.

6 Learn from your experience

After your speech, reflect on your performance and learn from your experience. Celebrate your achievements and acknowledge your areas of improvement. Ask for feedback from your audience or a mentor and listen to their opinions. Identify what worked well and what did not and how you can improve next time. Keep practicing and challenging yourself to become a better and more confident public speaker.
