Emergency communication is as much about delivering information as it is about receiving input that can enhance your messages to help people stay safe and well. In addition to collecting direct feedback, you can also monitor traditional and social media to get a sense of how the public feels about an emergency.

Why is it important to talk to supervisors, colleagues, or customers when finding and evaluating information for an audience you are unfamiliar with? People are often judged based on the way they dress. Adopting the “you” attitude is part of developing an audience-centered approach to communication.

Connecting to your audience will allow you to understand their reactions, wants, and needs. Since many audiences are constantly changing, it’s a great idea to get connected and stay connected with your audience. This way, you keep up with your target audience and adapt whatever you need to in order to stay relevant.

Here’s how to handle that larger audience:

1. Move from a facilitated conversation to standing behind your “message”. If you find ‘your message’ – the thing that you want to stand behind, you will be able to speak to any number of people.
2. Ask them to “Come to me”
3. Go Large.
4. Think ‘character’
5. Get crystal clear.
6. Be universal.

Design an effective introduction

1. Describe a scene or a character.
2. Tell a story.
3. Share a personal experience.
4. Relate to a recent event.
5. Piggyback on a previous speaker’s remark or theme.
6. Point out something important about the audience or the current setting.
7. Show a compelling visual image.
8. Ask a provocative question.

How To Be A Better Public Speaker

1. Admit you’re nervous. Don’t be afraid to freak out.
2. Redefine your audience. Don’t imagine everyone in front of you is naked or that they’re all just friendly pigs, because that’s absurd.
3. Visual aids are your friends.
4. Know your speech.
5. Speak to one person at a time.
6. Blow off steam beforehand.

Here are 7 tips I have come up with for giving a speech to the grieving.

2. Avoid platitudes.
3. Memorialize the lost.
4. Unless the audience is denominational, be nondenominational.
5. Provide hope.
6. Allow a change of mood.
7. Don’t expect results.

Speech rate guidelines: Slow: less than 110 wpm. Conversational: between 120 wpm and 150 wpm. Fast: more than 160 wpm.

Follow the “Rule of Three.” If you’re new at public speaking, pick three specific people to focus on – one in the middle, one on the right, and one on the left of the room. These audience members will be your eye-contact landmarks as you scan the room.

How To Make Public Speaking Easy And Painless

1. Preparation. Instead of stressing out about giving a presentation in front of a large group, turn that negative energy into a positive.
2. Less is more.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice.
4. Dress The Part.
5. Engage Your Audience.
6. Act Natural.
7. Don’t play hide and seek.
8. Strike A Pose!

If you want to be a great presenter or just want to make it through your next presentation without lukewarm feedback, you need to: [1] know your material, [2] be confident, [3] be self-aware, [4] be passionate, and [5] be memorable. Watch world-class presenters and you can always find these five traits present.

Public speaking is a talent before it becomes a skill. A talent is a latent ability, something that is dormant inside you. When you work at it, it becomes a skill.

Aristotle

Calling public speaking a “soft skill” diminishes its value in a world that cherishes the hard sciences. Public speaking isn’t soft. It’s the equivalent of cold, hard cash.

Great public speakers aren’t just born that way, they work at it. While natural talent and confidence can play a big part, so much more goes into being a great public speaker. While it’s true that not everyone is a natural public speaker, at Rule the Room, we believe natural public speakers can be made.

Some folks are good public speakers; others, not so much. But it’s a rare treat to see somebody who’s truly extraordinary. These are people like Brené Brown, Martin Luther King Jr., Malala Yousafzai, Sheryl Sandberg, and many others who know how to hook their audience, reel them in, and leave them fired up.

The following five essential qualities of all public speakers will bolster your presentations to inspire, influence and make a consequential impact on your audience.

• Confidence.
• Passion.
• Introspection and Self Awareness.
• Being Yourself.
• Engagement with your Audience.
