FAQs

Public speaking is the act of performing a speech to an audience, traditionally face-to-face. However, with the rise of virtual communication, public speaking now also includes online platforms, such as webinars, Zoom meetings, and virtual presentations. It’s not just about formal speeches—it can also encompass small team meetings, informal pitches, or even one-on-one conversations where persuasion and clarity are key.

Great public speakers bring their authentic selves to the stage. They are passionate, prepared, and focused on connecting with their audience. A great speaker knows their material inside and out, engages through storytelling, and creates an emotional connection with listeners. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being real, relatable, and impactful.

Nerves are completely normal and can even enhance your performance if you learn to manage them. Some tips to conquer public speaking anxiety include:

• Deep breathing exercises to calm your body and mind.
• Build practical toolboxes of skills and techniques
• Reframing nerves as excitement to shift your mindset.
• Preparation and practice to build confidence.
• Visualization techniques to focus on success instead of fear.

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools a speaker can use. It creates an emotional connection, makes your message memorable, and engages your audience in a way that facts and figures alone cannot. Even simple stories, when tied to your message, can leave a lasting impression.
