Great public speakers are able to inspire and teach. They can take a message and sprinkle in humor and wise words. Over the years there have been many great orators. These individuals can make you think about your life, those around you and any number of issues that are going on in the world. Many of these individuals use their abilities to help spread the word on social and economic issues that affect everyone.

To be a truly wonderful public speaker, you will need to understand how to bring people to a common understanding. You do not want to be too inflammatory in your speech.

Question by : How to get over fear of public speaking?
I have public speaking this next semester and I don’t know if I am ready for it. It’s a college class with at least 25 people so it may be even more nerve wrecking. There was an optional section for people who fear public speaking but my schedule was full around that time and I could not change it. The main problem I have is that I care too much what people think and even if I have an ok presentation and have all the information needed, I am still embarassed because I am not a funny or humorous public speaker. So basically, I am not entertaining when giving a speech which makes it awkward while everyone else is. Also, sometimes I shake when it really gets awkward and I realize it is.

So does anyone have any tips to get over this? Thank you

If you’re looking for a speaker to help your company improve teamwork, productivity and morale, then you will probably be looking for a motivational speaker. If you want somebody to speak at your event, or fundraising dinner, then a public speaker will probably be more appropriate. How would you differentiate between the two types of speaker?

A motivational speaker will become interested in your business, find out more about what you do, and how you operate. This will allow them to create the right sort of presentation that is designed to be unique to you. There is unlikely to be a “one size fits all” presentation, as all companies are different.

There are certain major properties of communication that when broken down, is all about the person that is talking, what the person is saying, the person or group of persons that he or she is talking to, the means or medium he or she is using to reach out to those persons being talked to and finally, how the talk affects the listeners or group of persons that were talked to.

A good speaker is one who is able to, through his speaking, not only notify, update or persuade but also influence or alter the sentiments of his listeners. For one to be a motivational speaker, to be a leader, to spear head individual growth, to effectively manage a business, to run and effective company or individual customer service, to create and maintain an extensive group communiqué, you need to be a good speaker.
