103 // Public Speaking Tips

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of The Mindful Kind podcast and the third episode in the mini-series about communication! In this episode, I've shared all my top tips for public speaking (by the way, I was terrified of public speaking for a really long time!). 1 // Feel whatever you need to feel and try to be non-judgemental 2 // Make decisions in advance (such as what you'll wear, how you'll travel to the event etc) 3 // Prepare for the possibility of forgetting your words 4 // Use memory tools, such as note cards, slides, or a workbook 5 // Use a mnemonic device 6 // Include interactive sections 7 // Start with something simple to talk about 8 // Use your hands 9 // Make eye contact 10 // Don't worry if people aren't paying attention 11 // Breathe 12 // Exercise the morning of your presentation 13 // Remember that you probably don't appear as nervous as you feel 14 // Balance out negative thoughts with positive thoughts 15 // Know that what you say matters! I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!
