Public Speaking Tips That Make A Lasting Connection

Have you been taught that speaking intellectually is all that is needed while presenting to your audience?   We’ve all heard a number of people who are not connected to their hearts while speaking, and sadly, the great disconnect happens.  If you are a speaker who is “disconnected” this will be evident to your audience as well.

Here are some questions to determine how well you hold the attention of your audience as a public speaker.

1. When you take a break do people applaud your return in a rousing way?

2. Are audience members drawn to you during breaks or after you are done speaking?

3. How many of them want to become your student, client or member after your presentation?

4. How many calls do you receive to do another presentation or to tell you how much they enjoyed your presentation?

If you are connected to your heart, you will be connected to your audience.  If you are connected to your audience, they will be connected to you.

Below are ways in which you can take time to connect to your heart before you present.

1. Spend time in quiet relaxation and reflection before speaking.   Clear your mind to where you can hear yourself breathe.

2. Feel your topic.  Remember how it can help others and how it’s helped you. Feel how others will increase by what you are going to share with them and see it happening in your mind’s eye.

3. Be grateful and happy that you have studied it, learned it and now you can teach it to others.  Have a faith that brings about a new burst of confidence.

4. Be yourself, whether dry or funny, just be who you are and speak from your heart.

5. Appreciate the opportunity to be there and openly show your appreciation to your audience.

The great disconnect is non-discriminating and it expands around the globe. This is why there are so many would-be great speakers disconnected from the abundance in their lives as well as their audiences. Without a heart connection,  the brain will have intellectual challenges because the brain is the control center that shoots your emotions into action.

It’s time for you to gain more supportive actions by moving into your heart to become the best possible speaker or presenter you can be.  If you learn to connect to your heart, it’ll change much more than just your speaking ability, it can change your life.
