You're new to public speaking. How can you establish credibility and authority in your field?
Embarking on a journey in public speaking can be both exhilarating and daunting. As you step onto the stage for the first time, you may wonder how to convince your audience that you are an authority in your field. Establishing credibility isn't just about what you say; it's how you say it and the preparation that goes into your presentation. Whether you're addressing a conference room or an auditorium, the principles of authority apply universally. You need to articulate your ideas clearly, exude confidence, and connect with your audience on a level that transcends the spoken word. Remember, every speaker was once a beginner, and with the right approach, you can quickly establish yourself as a credible and authoritative figure in your domain.
