The importance of public speaking in communicating
We often find ourselves, when offered a mic to speak or give an opinion at a seminar or class, who suddenly stutter.Wherever we are, whether in a group or presenting in front of an audience, we are often required to have skills in public speaking.We often find that in presentations or seminars, participation in asking questions is still low.Either he is not confident enough or is lazy about speaking up... Having the courage to ask questions at a seminar is an easy way to increase your confidence in speaking in public.Without trying, we will never know our true abilities.
Apart from learning and practicing from the simple example above to increase your self-confidence.Public speaking also requires interesting content that is not only interesting, but also provides value that can be easily remembered by the audience.Speakers must have the ability to read keywords and examples that suit their audience.“Teach them something new!”It is a challenge for speakers to have good public speaking.
Anda pasti pernah mendengar istilah“Mata adalah jendela jiwa”. Artinya mata merupakan organ tubuh yang paling jujur dan memiliki kemampuan dalam memberikan koneksi jujur secara alami. Maka itu, mata menjadi hal yang penting dalam menjalin koneksi antar individu. Begitupula pada public speaking, eye contact menjadi hal yang sangat penting untuk komunikasi non verbal seseorang dalam mentransfer pengetahuannya kepada audience. Tak hanya eye contact, body language pun sangat penting dalam public speaking. Seperti posisi berdiri speaker sampai posisi tangan dalam menjelaskan presentasi. Hal ini penting diingat karena dalam berkomunikasi memiliki bermacam bentuk, seperti kata, suara, tone of sound, gesture sampe touch.
When the content is good, eye contact is made, body language is good.So are you still nervous?This is of course a normal thing, because everyone will be able to do it once they get used to it.So continuous practice in public speaking is needed.If you are still nervous, we must be able to allow time during the presentation to take a breath first.Usually, when nervousness strikes, the intonation and speed of the speaker's voice change, so a moment is needed.Eye contact is also important for speakers to know the enthusiasm of the audience and whether ice breaking is needed or not.Apart from that, self-motivation is also very important to motivate yourself.Say Yes to "Yes, I can do it and am excited" and avoid the words "I think I can't".Because basically self-motivation is an important key in having good public speaking skills.
