What if you could shed the misgivings and fear of public speaking forever? How would that change your life, your career, your self-esteem and confidence? Finding the way to ease in front of an audience, large or small, can be the key that unlocks your true potential as a communicator. 

After I’ve entertained a group at one of my keynote presentations, more than one member of the audience will approach afterwards with some version of the following question. “You look so comfortable on stage, how did you learn to do that?” The answer is multi-faceted, like trying to explain why you enjoy a chocolate sundae. Is it the ice-cream or the hot fudge sauce? The nuts or the cherry on top? There are several keys to gaining the confidence to speak in public, whether it’s for business or pleasure. Here are the three most important things to know before you stand up and take the microphone.

1. Let them know the real you. Somehow, many speakers fall prey to the temptation to become television newscasters when they open their mouths. Voices drop an octave or two, and faces take on the worried demeanor of the local nightly news anchor reporting on a car crash or house fire. Having survived both of those types of incidents in my own life, I can tell you they’re no laughing matter. Still, “playing” the serious role means you’re not coming completely clean with the people who came to hear you speak. Keep your regional accent, your drawl and your unique personality intact when the microphone is passed your way.
