Pentingnya flow of mind dalam public speaking

Appearing in public as a student is nothing more than making a presentation.Presentations can be said to be "obligatory food" and are always present at every change of new courses in each semester.This has been a common experience since I entered the world of college.As I usually call Sonia, I am a sixth semester student who is actively seeking knowledge to obtain a bachelor's degree in Political Science or Government at one of the state universities in Depok, West Java. From semester one to semester six, I have had many valuable experiences, starting from working in groups, writing dozens of pages of papers and journals, as well as training myself in expressing opinions and making presentations both in groups and individually.

Presenting socio-political material is not easy.It takes quite a lot of memory to be able to understand the various kinds of reading material and analysis that I or my group have done.This is what sometimes makes the speaking style in presentations become chaotic, let's say, a lotwith blankhis.So, like it or not, I look at the screen a lotPowerPointpresentations or papers that I have made as a guide in delivering the material.I know that what I am doing is wrong and will not create an attractive figure in the eyes of my friends because the way I deliver my presentation tends to be stiff and seeks safety by reading while occasionally looking ataudience, but I myself didn't feel the essence of the presentation.

It turns out to be true, presenting very heavy material is not easy for me personally, in fact during high school I was quite often appointed to be an MC and host formal events at my school.Then I started to think, how can I deliver a presentation well, flowing like when someone is telling a story without stopping, balanced with intonation and body language that seems to bewitch the audience to continue following my flow in delivering the material.

In the end, when I felt that something was wrong with the way I was presenting, I immediately looked for information about doing a coursebenefitnya adalah membuat saya menjadi percaya diri, tidak with blank pada saat menyampaikan materi, tetapi tetap enak didengar suaranya oleh teman-teman maupun dosen yang sedang mendengarkan presentasi saya. Lalu, saya teringat ketika saya masih duduk di bangku SMP saya pernah membeli sebuah majalah remaja yang didalamnya berisikan kumpulan foto-foto kegiatan karantina pemilihan model sampul majalah remaja tersebut. Kemudian setelah mengingat-ngingat kembali, ada suatu momen dimana mereka diajarkan untuk melakukan public speaking yang diawali dengan pengenalan diri hingga cara mereka menentukan sikap pada saat berbicara di depan umum. Nama dari sebuah agensi public speakingis namedTalk Inc.Therefore, I immediately discussed it with my parents and in the end they agreed for me to take part in the class programpublic speakingto support my confidence in speaking in public.

Class after class, of course, I never miss a single one, remembering that by taking this course I am sure I will be much more confident when I have to present material in front of the class with a clear and precise flow.The first meeting began with an introduction to public speaking, followed by video mapping, where one by one we had to speak in front of the camera by presenting free material that we had mastered.Continued with the next meeting, until we arrived at a meeting entitled "Flow of Mind."What came to my mind was, I would learn how to regulate my way of thinking when giving a presentation and I was quite challenged when I saw the title of the material which was always displayed on the front of the classroom door accompanied by the teacher or facilitator.

Facilitator for classFlow of Mindon Saturday, his full name was Boy Kelana Soebroto or more familiarly called "Mas Boy".In this class, apart from us going forward one by one to present presentations according to the correct line of thinking, we are also given various ways of presenting material using that line of thinking, starting fromproblem-solution, cause-effect, chronological, theory-practice, acronym, numerical order, dan yang terakhit psycological effect.These various lines of thought certainly opened my mind regarding ways to organize my way of thinking when practicing for a presentation, which of course will make it easier for me to remember quite a lot of the presentation material that will be delivered.

After I studied this line of thinking, I started practicing on my own to prepare my performance in distributing the material that I had packaged in such a way through a paper that included theory and analysis.I try to write down my train of thought so that it resembles a story so as not to bore the listeners.Even though at that time I was still using key notes, I was starting to be able to organize my way of thinking which of course would influence what I would convey word for word.Apart from the flow of thinking, Mas Boy also did not forget to remind me and my classmates to always read a lot to enrich our vocabulary so that there are no more words.nge-blankin our dictionary when giving a presentation.

Setelah sembilan pertemuan saya lalui sebagai murid kelas public speaking membuat saya memiliki pengalaman baru. Mulai dari bertemu para fasilitator yang sudah handal di bidangnya, selalu memberikan penilaian dan masukan-masukan positif, dan juga ilmu-ilmu baru yang sesungguhnya tidak banyak didapatkan di sekolah formal, karena public speakingis a talent that I personally think all humans are able to hone and get used to speaking in public with a good line of thinking will indicate that we arepublic speakerwho are smart in choosing good word-for-word matches and giving a warm impression to the audience who are listening to us deliver material that they certainly want to hear.So it can be concluded that betweenpresenterThere is a reciprocal relationship with the audience that exists as long as the material is being delivered in a coherent and good way of thinking.
