| Have you ever watched a speaker and said,
| |
| | make a difference in their lives - by
|
| "Wow, I wish I could speak like that"? or
| |
| | entertaining them, warning them,
|
| "That person was just so wonderful. I
| |
| | encouraging them, or giving them
|
| could never do that." Well, I've got some
| |
| | direction or information.The great thing
|
| good news for you. You too can be a
| |
| | is - you all do have something to say
|
| public speaker. Public speaking is a
| |
| | that people would be interested in
|
| learned skill, so anyone can do it. You
| |
| | hearing. Each of you has come through
|
| just need to follow some simple steps and
| |
| | life in a different way. You may have
|
| practice, practice, practice. If you know
| |
| | encountered difficult circumstances and
|
| how to talk, you can become a public
| |
| | survived. Your experience could help
|
| speaker.Becoming really good at public
| |
| | someone else in the same situation.If you
|
| speaking requires some risk, but you have
| |
| | remember jokes or enjoy telling stories
|
| been taking risks all your life. When you
| |
| | to your friends, practice a little more
|
| were a toddler, you risked falling down
| |
| | and soon you can be telling your jokes
|
| when you took your first steps. You risk
| |
| | and stories to large audiences. If you
|
| scraping your knees or falling when you
| |
| | are really good at something, consider
|
| start roller blading. You risk falling
| |
| | sharing the steps of how you got there.By
|
| off when you start bike riding. You risk
| |
| | following the steps outlined in the
|
| being rejected when you ask someone out
| |
| | Toastmasters' manuals, and with the
|
| on a date, and you risk getting into an
| |
| | encouragement of fellow Toastmasters, you
|
| accident every time you drive your car.If
| |
| | can learn how to craft a speech and how
|
| you gave up after your first fall, you'd
| |
| | to deliver it. You can learn how to use
|
| still be crawling. If you were afraid to
| |
| | props, how to modulate your voice, and
|
| fall off your bike, you'd still be riding
| |
| | how to use words that your audience will
|
| with training wheels. If you were afraid
| |
| | understand.You will often hear the words
|
| of getting into an accident, you'd never
| |
| | "stage time" used by Toastmasters. That
|
| get behind the wheel of a car. And guess
| |
| | is the only way to get better. In order
|
| what, you're still here - you've survived
| |
| | to be good at anything, you have to
|
| all of that. You're risk takers!! You've
| |
| | practice. Winston Churchill overcame a
|
| proved that by coming to Toastmasters.
| |
| | speech impediment to become a master
|
| The greatest fear is that of public
| |
| | orator. He had to practice for hours to
|
| speaking and here you are - wanting to
| |
| | deliver a speech.You can get very
|
| learn how to do it.How many of you enjoy
| |
| | discouraged if you expect to be as good
|
| watching figure skating? Now, you
| |
| | as Zig Ziglar right away. But if you
|
| wouldn't expect to be a world class
| |
| | listen to his story, you will find that
|
| figure skater the minute you put on a
| |
| | it took a very long time before he was
|
| pair of skates, would you? No, you'd
| |
| | able to do what he does so well.The thing
|
| expect to have to practice for years
| |
| | to remember is that the only person you
|
| before becoming that good. Nor would you
| |
| | need to compare yourself to is you. You
|
| expect to make the NHL without years and
| |
| | are working for your personal best, so
|
| years of winter and summer hockey.How
| |
| | when you are preparing your speech and
|
| many of you enjoy watching racing? Would
| |
| | practicing, all you need to ask yourself
|
| you expect to be another Mario Andretti
| |
| | is - is your second speech better in some
|
| the minute you get behind the wheel? Now,
| |
| | way than your first? Did you learn
|
| I will admit that there seem to be a few
| |
| | something new as you prepared for your
|
| drivers out there who think they are
| |
| | speech? Did you learn something from the
|
| Mario, but most people would expect to
| |
| | evaluative comments of others after you
|
| have to practice for years before
| |
| | gave your speech? Then, that's all you
|
| reaching his status.Now, I think everyone
| |
| | need to do. You can use what you've
|
| here knows how to walk. When you think of
| |
| | learned to make the next speech your best
|
| walking 25 miles, it seems like a long
| |
| | to date and then use the same process for
|
| distance, but it is actually only putting
| |
| | each speech you give. Just take one step
|
| one foot in front of the other a number
| |
| | at a time.Remember, public speaking is a
|
| of times and you know how to do that. It
| |
| | skill, so anyone can learn to do it. You
|
| just takes practice to go the distance.
| |
| | just need to be taught how and then
|
| It's the same thing with public speaking.
| |
| | practice, practice, practice. Then one
|
| It just takes putting one word after
| |
| | day someone may watch you and say, "Wow,
|
| another.The key to getting up in front of
| |
| | I wish I could speak like that."Fran
