How to dominate a room when speaking in public.
It is very difficult to give the impression that you control the situation when you do not seem very sure of what you are going to say. Many speakers are crushed under pressure and look down to protect themselves from the audience.
They do not master the techniques. When you speak in public, do so firmly, with conviction, with determination.
From the moment you enter the stage or auditorium, walk naturally, upright and looking at the audience with a kind and confident smile, no weakness. You have to inspire confidence, even if you are sweating in panic. When you stand in front of the audience, watch them calmly and with fire in your eyes.
Speak as if you were an authority on the matter, if you are wrong, do not say it, people will not know it if you do not prove it to them. It is only a matter of training and practice. Until a new episode.
How to inspire confidence when speaking in public.
From a psychological point of view, looking down indicates insecurity and shyness. If you have the public in front of you, look at them all without fear. Your goal is to show great confidence and make the public want to meet you and listen to what you have to say.
If you want to do it quickly, try what I call “Sweep the room”. For example, if you are in front of 300 people, before you start talking, sweep them with your gaze from right to left or vice versa. Try to make everyone see you, it is important because the public needs to see you and get to know you before speaking.
Look into the eyes of those who are in the front row and all those who are behind, sweep them away with your eyes. Speak with aplomb, move, walk lightly, make firm and eloquent gestures for everyone to know that you are an expert in the matter. It is only a matter of training and practice. Until a new episode.
How to appear floating in a room before speaking in public.
It is time for you to learn to attract public attention immediately. Magicians, professional actors, great leaders and expert lecturers have been using this technique for many years. It is very simple and will help you build confidence when you make your entry on the scene. Before appearing before an audience, take a deep breath.
Fill your lungs with oxygen until you swell. Once you feel the air have filled your rib cage to the top, hold your breath. Then, and only then, make your appearance. As you walk safely towards the center of the room, look at the audience smiling.
When you are right in front of the audience, start talking with energy. An entry like this will be much stronger than one in which your lungs are empty. It is only a matter of training and practice. Until a new episode.
