What makes people remember what we speak? What creates that impact amongst the listeners? Words, speaker or both? What we speak reflects most about the kind of people we are. Our words define us. We underestimate the power of words, but words can be stronger than physical strength. We all remember some historic speech once made by a famous speaker. But is it only the famous people who can make memorable speeches? No. It’s not correct. Anybody today can be an influential speaker. Today there are so many sources you can use to make yourself good at speaking. A person no longer can say he or she can never speak well. Why not, is the question? Yes, you can definitely do what you aim for.
When we read a speech by a famous person, or hear it, we imagine ourselves standing in the same position and delivering the speech. It’s always easy to imagine and be a hero. The real task is to stand in front of unknown people and put your point and make them agree with you. That’s where your words decide if you are effective or not. Now imagine, you are to make a presentation in front of a number of people. You have great material for the audience, but not the right tone. How will it look? Your tone, your gestures, your confidence, your level of connection with the audience, your overall presentation and so many things can affect the impact of your speech.
People today go for keynote training; to learn how to deliver the best speeches or presentations they have always dreamt of. It just gives you an extra edge over the others if you know exactly which word needs to be presented how. There is a famous phrase which says that- right word, at the right time and to the right person creates the best effect. So keep it as the mantra of your life, it will help you anywhere you are.
After your keynote training, you will know how to amuse your audience, how to engage them, when to use humor, and how to speak the least by explaining maximum etc. Speaking is an art, and like any other art it can also be learnt, if it is not innate in you. Just be willing like a curious student and accept the art of speaking. Be natural, be you and then you can be the best. Finally you can say that a Good orator can make or mar the environment of a room. So be your best and make it a presentation or a speech to remember for a long time.
