Public Speaking Strategies for success

Here are a few public speaking strategies for success that will help you become a more interesting presenter:

Public speaking strategy #1

Start your speech ‘high’ or ‘low.’  These are two ways that you can start a speech that will help you make your point, depending on the subject matter.  For example, a motivational speaker will take the approach of starting their speech with what is known as a ‘wake-up call.’  A wake-up call is usually delivered in the form of funny props and loud noises that literally jolt the audience and grabs their attention.

The Notebook Mall

I wanted to have a flat screen monitor for my old PC. I searched www.thenotebookmall.com and found someone willing to sell it at half of the price of a new monitor. He bought the monitor at a PC show and did not use it. The owner was glad to find a buyer. I was glad to have a flat screen monitor at a good price.

Buy or rent a property?

This article gives the advantages and disadvantages of owning a property. Many people have the option to rent a property when the prices are too high.

Need to stabilize property prices

A country can be prosperous when the property prices increase, reflecting confidence of the citizens and foreigners in the country. However, this situation can get out of hand, resulting in an asset bubble and property that became priced out of reach of the citizens. This harmful impact is recognized in China, and steps are being taken to address this problem.  Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said, "“It is the key responsibility of all levels of governments to stabilize housing prices and to guarantee availability of housing”. He did not say that this matter is beyond the control of the government and can be left to the market forces.

A property bubble can also be caused by excessive speculation as the speculators made big profits at the expense of the desperate home owners.

Singapore's prosperity is also largely built on an asset bubble. We have to be prepared for the economic consequences when the bubble burst.

Free Public Speaking Tips | Public Speaking Tips Online | Presentation Skills Course

Here are a few free public speaking tips you can use right now in everyday situations:

1.  Use humor to diffuse a situation

Speech coaches will tell you to use humor in a speech to get the audience’s attention, but you can also use humor in a tense situation (as long as it is tasteful) to lighten the mood.  Most people are more open to your ideas when you come across as easy-going.

2.   Visualize your audience in their underwear

This is another one of the older public speaking tips, but it does work.  It doesn’t mean that you should picture your coworkers in their underwear – just realize that everyone in human; and you shouldn’t be intimidated by someone’s outward demeanor.  This is one of the free speaking tips that you can use to build confidence in yourself.
