1 Know Your Stuff

Thorough preparation is the bedrock of confidence in public speaking. Familiarize yourself with your topic inside and out. This doesn't just mean understanding your subject matter, but also anticipating questions and having well-thought-out answers at the ready. Practice your presentation multiple times to ensure you're comfortable with the material. The more you know about what you're talking about, the less likely you are to be thrown off by unexpected queries or issues during your presentation.

In my few years of public speaking, I have come to realize that the audience is able to detect whether the speaker has full knowledge of what he is speaking to. How? The knowledge the speaker intends to communicate to his listeners is measurable by depth. One sure way to build your confidence in public speaking is knowing your stuff well. Upon catching the attention of your listeners with a few hooks that are true, you will have it throughout your presentation!

Like Lily Waters said, The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge you send but by what the listener receives. When you know your business (be it product or service), you will be able to communicate in a way that will be easy for any kind of audience to understand. In fact having a good knowledge of your product is the most important thing you need because even when you feel nervous, you are still making a point and the audience flow with your presentation. I would say knowing your stuff is the first victory. However, remember, the whole purpose is to enable people to learn. Your mission is not to transmit information but to transform learners.

2 Practice Regularly

Consistent practice is key to becoming a confident speaker. Take every opportunity to speak in front of others, whether it's at small team meetings or larger gatherings. Use these opportunities to refine your delivery and receive feedback. You can also record yourself to identify areas for improvement. The more you practice, the more natural public speaking will feel, and the less anxiety you'll experience when it's time to deliver a high-stakes presentation.

3 Engage with Stories

Storytelling is a powerful tool in public speaking, especially for entrepreneurs who often have compelling stories about their business journey. Incorporate personal anecdotes and case studies that resonate with your audience. This not only makes your presentation more interesting but also helps you connect with your audience on an emotional level, making your message more memorable and impactful.

4 Body Language Matters

Your body language can greatly influence how your message is received. Use open gestures, maintain eye contact, and move with purpose on stage to convey confidence and command attention. Avoid closed-off postures or fidgeting, which can signal nervousness. Good posture and purposeful movements can help you feel more in control and present, which in turn boosts your confidence.

I think each presenter should understand that people need realness, reality. People can sense when someone is being pretentious or fake. It's because you feel it; you see it in someone's body language. I think body language is more important than actual language. I mean, once you know your onions and you have prepared well. It shows in every part of you. When you think you're showing effort, and your body language is showing that, then you're really playing your best, and then nobody will be able to talk bad about your game.

5 Manage Your Nerves

Feeling nervous before a public speaking engagement is normal, but there are strategies to manage these nerves. Deep breathing exercises can help calm your mind and reduce stress. Visualize a successful presentation to create a positive mindset. Remember, a certain level of adrenaline can be beneficial; it keeps you alert and can enhance your performance.

6 Learn from Feedback

Finally, embrace feedback as a tool for growth. After each presentation, seek out constructive criticism from trusted colleagues or mentors. Reflect on what went well and what could be improved. Use this feedback to make adjustments and continue developing your skills. With each presentation, you'll find that your confidence grows as you learn and improve.

Some entrepreneurs will get upset if some one criticizes them, but feedback and criticism is a great resource for you to improve your work to the highest quality

Whenever it comes to giving my opinion on feedback, I always like to start with what Elbert words, "to avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing." Feedback may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. I always try to separate the communicator from the communication (the sender from the message) because if i look at the sender, I will misinterpret the message.
