Have you seen people driving with Disability Parking Permits hanging from their rear vision mirror? It is illegal to obstruct you vision. So why do people do it?

Trying to totally memorise your talk is fraught with danger. However, there is a place for memorising your lines. TRANSCRIPT; I have a rule when coaching Public Speaking - don’t try to memorise your speech it is doomed to failure - but there is a small exception. and this advice is for those who are struggling to overcome the fear of facing an audience. The advice is to memorise the first 60 seconds of your address - not the whole lot - just the first minute. The first 60 seconds is the most critical time in your talk - where you either have them hanging on to your every word or looking towards the exit signs By memorising the opening will help you overcome stumbling and mumbling your way until you settle down - after that strong foundation you can go to your bullet point confident in the knowledge that the ground work has been laid. Another thing to consider if you’re a nervous speaker is this - the audience is there to hear what’s in it for them - how they can profit, get ahead, gain an edge. You are just the messenger - the audience isn’t there to critique you so get over yourself and deliver your message. Remember its not about you its about them. The quicker you develop that mentality the quicker you will overcome stage anxiety

Do modern xenon car headlights dazzle you when driving at night? How do manufacturers get away with this when law says you should not dazzle oncoming drivers?

An important point to note about public speaking is to remember it is a performance but it isn't acting. So don' try to unless you are an actor of course. TRANSCRIPT; Public Speaking is a performance but it isn’t acting. Many speakers I have seen over the years take to the stage and play the role of a public speaker. You can see they have seen a good PS and are trying to imitate them. This is the worst possible thing you can do. By all means learn from the great public speakers - watch TED talks - but don’t try to be them. It’s better to be a 100% original than a 50% copy Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde If you are playing the role of a PS The audience will see you’re a phoney and no matter how good your content is you will have already lost them. When an actor takes to the stage they become another person - that is part of the actors craft - but in public speaking you must always be you - to communicate you must project honesty, authenticity and credibility - don’t mask it by acting your role. Mind you taking an acting course can enhance your PS skills - controlling body language, facial expressions, voice control and projection. All elements to help you better communicate with your audience. Remember good public speaking is a cocktail made up of great content - and brilliant delivery It’s the combination of your words and the way you deliver them that will set you apart as a compelling public speaker.

Don't you just hate it when bakeries microwave their pastries and turn a crispy flaky crust into a sopping mess?

Your audience may have made up their minds about you before you even say a word. It's all about body language. TRANSCRIPT; Body language in public speaking is every bit as important as what you have to say. You can have the most powerful well crafted talk prepared but if you delivery it without visually commanding your audience you’re doomed to failure. BL is so important in fact that your audience has often made up their minds about you before you’ve even uttered a word. It’s about how you look, how you dress, how you take to the stage, your posture, your presence. So once you’ve prepared your winning address take time to make sure you project the right body image. What don’t you do - take to the stage like your walking to the gallows, shoulders slumped and chest caved in. Walk to the podium with energy and a smile like you really want to be there - shoulders back and stand tall;. The 2nd no no is avoiding eye contact - we’ve all seen them speakers who talk only to their notes. to the floor, the back of the room or their powerpoint slides - never the audience. Eye contact is the most powerful weapon in building trust with your audience. don’t create a barrier or wall between you and your audience - things like standing with arms crossed, wringing your hands church steepling your fingers are all barriers to building a rapport and trust with your audience. If you don’t know what to do with your hands just try to keep them by your sides with occasional appropriate gestures. Don’t be rooted to the spot If you’re on a stage try to make use of it move away from the lecture to make a major point - remember like it or not you are giving a performance don’t be a statute. Work on your gestures the right hand movements at the right time can send a powerful message. Do not relate negatively to your audience - you’ve seen it - someone is asking a question and half way through the speaker begins nodding impatiently as if to say hurry up my turn, pointing a rigid finger at the next questioner. looking down at the floor while considering an answer. These factors all add up to a speaker who’d rather be somewhere else. The audience is lost. Also don’t be caught doing unnecessary things - hand in pocket jingling keys while talking, repeatedly throwing and catching a piece of chalk into the air, twirling with a pen. All annoying and distracting. Put your audience first - see your talk as a performance, be passionate and watch the body language.
