DESCRIPTION

Public speaking is an art. However, some tips and tricks will help get your message more impactful. It's not rocket science, just make those tips yours, and they may transform the way you are presenting. These tips come from various sources and from 6 years of experience at Toastmasters, and 3 national public speaking contests I won. The one source of inspiration to create this deck has been Douglas Kruger, the 5 times winner of the Southern African Championship for Public Speaking. I met Douglas in Mauritius during our national convention in June 2013 and learned a lot in just one hour. So here are some wisdom from Douglas and me.

A chair is a great prop. You can climb on it to simulate stepping on something. You can sit on it just to rest if you are speaking for a long time or to play a scene of one of your stories. You can turn it and horse-ride it. A chair is simple and very useful. 8

Of course most of the time, you will be facing your audience. But if you want to play showing a point on the horizon, you can turn three quarters from the audience and point to the imaginary dot. All eyes, including yours, will be looking in the same direction, and this will include the audience into your acting.
