Words from a Master Communicator

On my first day of school, I was as nervous as any 4-year-old would be. I wondered; Will I make new friends? Will my mom still get me ice cream if my grades are bad? Then I found out that I would need to translate these difficult questions…IN FRENCH! I didn’t even know how to spell it, let alone speak it. I pleaded and I yelled, but it didn’t matter. My parents did as any immigrant parents would and invested in a better future for me, by obligating me to learn the French language and its culture.

Years later, French is one of the best gifts I’ve been given.

Communication and the ability to do so effectively is critical. There’s no point in having a great idea if you can’t share it with others. When I began my university studies,

I seized the opportunity to refine my communication skills through business competitions.

Throughout my journey, I came across students who reminded me of my old self, the non-native speakers being asked to give presentations.

I met individuals with great ideas that were too encumbered to present and communicate with others.

I felt their anguish, and I wanted to help them reach their full potential.

I launched MasterTalk, a YouTube channel dedicated to providing those aspiring individuals every tool they need to know in order to communicate effectively.

I believe that anyone who learns to master their talk will become a better version of themselves in all aspects of life.

Here are some words from a Master Communicator and some tips to help you along the way. I would love to give you a few tips. Here are three public speaking lessons that can help you master your talk.

1. Master Silences

When you pause in a presentation, do you worry the audience thinks you don’t know your subject, and you start to panic?

Don't. Exceptional public speakers use moments of silence to enhance their presentations, rather than seeing them as a sign of weakness.

Great speakers in the world (think TED Talk speaker level) use silence as a tool to give audience members time to think about their key presentation points, and draw them in.

2. Master Ums & Ahs

How do you get rid of them?

Exceptional speakers replace their ums and ahs with SILENCES!

When you practice this, you’ll have trouble completing full sentences without breaking in between them, but trust me, it is crucial that you keep at it.

3. Master Your Audience

The quality of your presentation is directly related to the number of people in the audience that remember and share your ideas.

Therefore, the starting point of any presentation is crafting it in a way that your audience will love.

Think about the ultimate goal of your presentation. Who is your audience and what are their needs and expectations from your presentation?

How do you address those needs and expectations in a way that will get them excited to share your message with the world?

Mastering public speaking isn’t child’s play. It’s like trying to learn a new language in a foreign school. However, if you keep at it and improve, you will WOW yourself and your audience.
