One easy fix to make your following public speech more enjoyable.

Enjoy the silence.

You know the feeling of going on the stage. You feel stressed, your body shakes, and the room is entirely silent - everyone observes you. You have an urgent need to speak aloud. Speak to break that annoying sound of nothing. So you start. You start talking with a first step on the stage. That is the first big mistake.

People like to observe other people.

The honest truth is that people like to watch you going on stage. People want to see you walking and smiling at them.?People like to see that you are confident and calm. People like to see that you take the time to look at them and focus before starting your speech. Please don't take that pleasure away from them.

Take the time to approach the stage, anchor to the place, and look at the audience before saying the first word.

The moment of silence at the beginning of your talk is an unlimited energy source. The energy you can take from the audience, amplify it with your talk, and give it back to your audience. It is hard to amplify something you don't have. Take the time and absorber the energy from the crowd. Show people that you are enjoying it. Show them that you know what you are doing. This is what they want to see. This is what you need to show before you start talking.

Wise people are not always silent, but they know when to be.

Cheers,
