What we're trying to do here is get you to be an amazing public speaker. So, how do we go about doing that? We do it by getting you to do presentations, and then a few more presentations... and a some more presentations after that. You get the idea.
Let's look at some tips from the Toastmasters website.
- I will make sure you that master these tips not by memory, but by constant work; http://www.toastmasters.org/tips.asp
- Make the right moves. Don't hold up the wall, it won't fall.. http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/FreeResources/NeedHelpGivingaSpeech/TipsTechniques/GesturesGetMoving.aspx
- Your visual support is vital to your presentation; http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/FreeResources/NeedHelpGivingaSpeech/TipsTechniques/VisualAidsPowerPoint.aspx
- Let's avoid this; http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/FreeResources/NeedHelpGivingaSpeech/TipsTechniques/10BiggestPublicSpeakingMistakes.aspx
- If you lose it and things go wrong, this link will help you; http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/FreeResources/NeedHelpGivingaSpeech/TipsTechniques/WhenThingsGoWrong.aspx
And now the rules:
- Presentation will be about YOU!
- Tell us five things we do not know about you... GET creative talk about something which most people don't talk about.
- You have to talk about your past, present and future.
- You can bring any visual support you need, except PowerPoint or any computer based projection.
- You will leave a comment, mentioning the tip you think is most helpful, and why.
- You have to talk for a minimum of two minutes and a maximum of three.
- YOU CAN NOT READ YOUR PRESENTATION.
- Presentations will be on Monday September 15th, and it is part of your grade.
