Hi, everyone. In this video, I shall be

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

sharing with you 5 important tips on how

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

you can become a powerful and impactful speaker.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

First up, knowing your audience. It is extremely

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

important and critical that you know who your

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

audience is. What is their background? Their age?

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

Their demographic? Their gender? All of this is

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

extremely important and critical in order for you

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

to tailor your message to resonate with the

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

needs and interests of your audience.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

In a professional setup, you might also want

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

to know additionally whether you're going speak to

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

a specific department

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

or to a particular level of management, perhaps

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

the senior level or the mid level or

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

the junior level. All of these information is

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

critical for you to customize the message to

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

meet the needs and interest of your audience.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

Secondly,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

confidence is the key.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

It's extremely important that whenever you speak on

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

a subject, you're well versed and well rehearsed.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

The clarity with which you speak is going

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

to give assurance to your audience and will

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

help your audience to engage more with you

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

during your course of conversation.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

3rd and extremely important is to use the

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

storytelling

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

approach. The more you use the storytelling and

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

illustration approach, the audience are able to remember

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

the content.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

It becomes memorable for them. They're able to

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

recall your message.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

4th, and extremely important again, is the use

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

of body language.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

Perhaps one of the most important thing and

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

often overlooked is the importance of using your

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

body language as well as the tonality of

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

your voice. You need to ensure that you're

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

able to modulate the tone of your voice.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

You're able to use the right body language

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

to communicate your message.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

Last but not the least, practice.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

Practice makes a man perfect, and that holds

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

good when it comes to public speaking and

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

presentation as well. The more you practice, the

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

more you rehearse, the multiple times when you

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

stand up in front of a mirror and

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

deliver a lecture, you become a critic of

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

yourself. You're able to identify where you're going

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

wrong and you're able to refine your message,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

your body language, your tonality

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05

in order to meet the needs and interest

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

of your audience.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

These are the 5 important tips that I

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

wanted to share with you. First up, know

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

your audience.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:12

Secondly,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

confidence and clarity.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

Thirdly, the use of storytelling and illustrations.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

Fourthly,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

the importance of using body language and tonality

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

of voice. And lastly,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

practice and practice and practice. Thank you for
