But do not confuse rehearsal with memorization because they are two entirely different things and doing the latter would most probably mess up your presentation. So put your earplugs in and get ready to get insights about good public speaking habits!

Victor Ahipene: Speaker nation what’s happening. Welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets. I’m your host, victor, and as always, thank you so much for joining me. I want to talk to you about something that has been a bugbear of mine since I learned how to effectively public speak and it’s that we need to stop memorizing things. Okay. A lot of you. A lot of us, we learn to do one of two things when we learned about public speaking and usually it’s from someone who’s under qualified to teach.

He just free climbed it. And it was one of the biggest successes of, uh, the climbing world ever. And it’s basically a vertical wall there. He managed to climb up and he talks to her and I highly recommend you go and have a look at it. It’s called how I climbed a 3000-foot vertical cliff, a highly recommend watching it because there’s some key messages in there when it comes to skill acquisition. So he started off climbing when he was younger. He climbs, I’m different, you know, different types of train from not yet, obviously vertical summit’s to get his skills in, to become a more confident cli
