Here are some skills that every Professional Speaker must Hone in order to Book High Dollar Speaking Engagements
?? Proper Body Language
People are visual and they will judge you based on what you show them. If you are going to speak to a group of people, make sure that you have proper body language and gestures. Don’t overly use your hands when talking. Use hand gestures only to make a specific point. Don’t forget to use expressive facial expressions when delivering a message. It can entice people to listen to you more.?
?? Don’t Boast Too Much
Be humble if you will be telling your story. Don’t use the stage to brag about your accomplishments and declaring that you are better than everyone else. Position yourself as an expert and allow people to see the value in your work.
?? Be Genuine
Do not just copy other speakers but let the audience know the real you when you share your message. Be sure to allow your personality to shine on stage. Find that thing that sets you apart from the 100s of speakers who focus on similar topics.
?? Make Eye Contact
Don’t shy away but make some eye contact with your listeners. It makes a difference if you can connect with people in the audience. Your audience will feel connected to you if you will do it.?
?? Practice before having the speech
“Practice makes perfect.” That is exactly true. Make sure that you are well equipped and prepared for your message before you will be facing a lot of people. Being prepared for your talk will enable you to have confidence in speaking on stage and it will lessen your stage fright.
