Your experience of public speaking?
Remember one of your experiences of speaking
in public
Think of / write down two words or short phrases that you remember about the
experience?

• Plan: create a structure for your presentation: beginning,
middle and end
• Know your audience: who, age, expertise, languages … tailor
• Include in your notes: SLOW DOWN or BREATHE
• Practice your presentation: time yourself
1) Out loud on your own (record / video if possible)
2) In front of a friend / colleague
Prepare yourself

Turn to the nearest 3-4 people around you –
form a small group
Spend 10 minutes talking quietly about:
• Introduce yourself : your name, where you work?
• What do you personally dislike about speaking in public?
• What do you really like about the best presentations you’ve
seen before?
• What new opportunities could you consider to practice your
skills?
***Nominate 1 person who could share some of your examples to
the room later on…practice makes perfect ***

Tips: before, during and after
• Go for a walk: 10 minutes of fresh air to clear your head up to an hour beforehand
• Visualise: somewhere calming
• Deep ‘belly’ breaths: count 3,2,1 relax, relax, relax
• Smile and use hand gestures: release those ‘happy’ hormones e.g. dopamine
• Eye contact: look around
• Place a back-up question: in the audience
