Stop thinking of your less-than-stellar public speaking moments as "failures." These are learning moments. Go back and use them to assess. What did you not like? What can you do better? Failure is an opportunity to grow. Then practice relentlessly. Know your content, and be able to explain things simply. They say if you can't explain something simply, you don't know it at all. Don't overdo verbose language and confuse yourself. Keep things simple, speak in plain language. Do not quit. You'll never be a better speaker if you stop now. Keep going! We've all failed, but it's what we learn and how we rebound that will make us better.

You first have to forget how many people you're speaking to. For me it doesn't matter if I'm doing a talk to 10 people or 10,000 people. Either way, I speak in plain language as if it is just you and I talking. Give opinions and do not be afraid of having some in the audience disagree with you. No matter what your position is, some people will disagree. It doesn't matter. Speak with conviction and be prepared to defend your position. Keep it light and don't be afraid to include humor.

2 Practice Relentlessly

Consistent practice is the cornerstone of mastering public speaking. Rehearse your speech multiple times to get comfortable with the content and flow. This will help you maintain eye contact with your audience instead of reading from your notes. Practicing in front of a mirror or recording yourself can provide insights into your body language and vocal variety. You can then make adjustments to ensure that your delivery is as compelling as it can be. Remember, practice not only makes perfect but also helps to minimize the anxiety that often leads to public speaking failures.

3 Engage Your Audience

Engagement is crucial for a successful public speaking event. Start by understanding who your audience is and what they expect from your presentation. Use storytelling, questions, or relevant anecdotes to make your speech more relatable and interesting. This approach helps maintain the audience's attention and makes the experience more interactive. If your audience is engaged, they are more likely to forgive minor slip-ups and stay focused on the message you are conveying.

4 Manage Anxiety

Anxiety before a public speaking engagement is normal, but letting it control you can lead to failure. Learn techniques to manage your nerves, such as deep breathing exercises , positive visualization , or even a brief physical warm-up before taking the stage. These strategies can help calm your mind and reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. When you manage your anxiety effectively, you're able to deliver your speech with greater clarity and confidence.

There is power in positive affirmation to calm nerves and anxiety. Before any conversation, presentation, speech or public speaking engagement - I will take a few minutes to take a couple of big breaths. Then I will mediate on a positive thought like 'everything is going to be okay, you are safe, you are worthy of leading this conversation'.

5 Learn from Mistakes

Every public speaker, no matter how experienced, makes mistakes. What separates the good from the great is their ability to learn from these experiences. After each speaking event, reflect on what went well and what didn't. Seek constructive feedback from trusted colleagues or audience members. Use this information to make improvements for your next speech. Remember, every failure is an opportunity to grow and become a more effective speaker.

"You yourself should be your greatest motivator & critique" 1. Listen to your presentation recording if any 2. Look for areas for improvement 3. Think of yourself as one amongst the audience and listen to yourself speaking, what did you understand, and what did you not. 4. Look at your body language, are you nervous, moving around too much on stage, your hands are constantly moving (sometimes too much movement can be irritating to the audiences) 5. Look for word mannerisms, people tend to use the same set of verbiage throughout the presentation and that can get boring. Keep it very authentic and creative.

6 Adapt and Evolve

The world of public speaking is always changing, and so should you. Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies that can enhance your presentations. Be open to trying new techniques or incorporating different media into your speeches. Adaptability also means being able to adjust your speech on the fly based on the audience's reaction or unforeseen circumstances. By evolving as a speaker, you ensure that your skills remain sharp and your speeches continue to resonate with audiences.
