Public Speaking
On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks about how to get over the fear of public speaking at events and how she got over her fear of public speaking.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When you speak in front of an audience you could potentially have hundreds of thousands of people listening to you and your message and you can share your message and your passion with them. So, it’s a really, really powerful thing to get more comfortable with.
- Define your speaking topics you want to speak about and make sure they align to your expertise and the experience of the target audience. Who are you speaking to? What are you speaking about? Write out who you want to speak to, who you want to help, how you can provide value to the group of people you want to speak to.
- Build a professional speaker profile that highlights your experience, credentials, why people should listen to you, any past speaking engagements no matter how small. Include testimonials or references from past speaking events.
- Offer free workshops/webinars/online session to get more comfortable speaking. You can organise these yourself about a topic you want to speak about, that you love and that you’re an expert in. Promote these events through your network and social media so that you can at least get a few people watching, listening and hopefully engaging with. It doesn’t matter how many people are there, even if there’s no one there just deliver your training as if lots of people are there and see it as practice.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Public speaking opportunities can significantly boost your profile and also your credibility.’
‘Start with local events if you’re not comfortable speaking in front of a big audience yet or if that thought petrifies and scares you.’
‘Opportunities are easier to get if they’re accessible, ask your local schools if they need you to speak on your chosen topic/area of expertise, they’re usually are looking for speakers who want to step up and speak about something.’
‘Leverage your network, let your network know that you are interested in speaking in front of an audience, that you are available for speaking gigs. Maybe they didn’t even know you wanted to speak at events or what your expertise is.’
