Our Top Ten Tips for public speaking at meetings and conferences!

Know your subject
Only give a speech if you really do know the subject you are talking about - never give someone else's speech. If you do have to this, rewrite it in your own words.
Use notes
Don't worry about using notes - it's the speech that's important not your memory! If you do use notes, then write bullet points on post cards in large felt tip pen. Don't read notes word for word, they are just there as a prompt.
Take your time
Talk more slowly than you think you are - everyone tends to speed up as the adrenalin starts to pump!
Use slides with caution
If you use slides to support your speech then don't have a list of bullet points that your read - the audience will read them faster than you can say them and be waiting for the next slide. Use images or examples on the slides. Don't forget to consider what you would do if the slide projector/PC wasn't working!
Don't give out notes
Don't give the audience notes of your speech before you give it - they will be looking at them rather than you and probably be a few sides ahead!
Appear confident
Look at the audience, not at your notes all the time. Remember to smile!
Engage your audience
Try to engage the audience by making it interactive - more like a conversation rather than a one way presentation.
Get mobile
If possible use a lapel wireless microphone so that you can move around and not get stuck behind a lectern. Use the whole stage area and present to all areas of the audience.
Do your homework
Learn a speech by rewriting it using fewer and fewer words until you are just left with bullet points
Don't worry if you go wrong!
If you dry up, take a deep breath, look at your prompt cards and pick up the next point. Don't apologise - they may not have noticed!
