19. The big moment has arrived . . . you knew it would . . .
that's why you're here. You've been asked to speak to
the morning gathering of the Chamber of Commerce. At
the time they invited you it didn't seem like such a bad
idea, but now the chairperson is introducing you, will
momentarily announce your name and welcome you to
the platform amid thunderous applause.
Your stomach just did a flip flop, a strange numbness is
starting to overtake your body, and is that a little
perspiration on your forehead?
We've all been there in that very spot waiting for the
introducer to say our name and jolt us into reality.
Ninety-nine percent of all speakers have some form of
anxiety before they get up to speak.
20.
21. 1.Occasionally I get nervous or
have sweaty palms before I have
to speak.
2. I am more concerned about
"getting the speech over with"
than making sure my audience is
taking away information of value.
22. 3.I frequently lose my place
in the middle of a speech.
4.I have a tendency to
ramble on sometimes.
5. I'm often uncomfortable in
Q & A sessions.
23. 6. My presentation opening is
typically "thank you for inviting
me here" or "I'm pleased to be
here today".
7.My presentations frequently
end without a call to action or
suggestion of a next step.
24. 8. I read my presentation word
for word.
9. I never seem to know what
to do with my hands during the
presentation.
10. I would like to have better
eye contact with my audience.
26. If you scored 100,
congratulations . . . you can write
next month's column!
If you scored between 80 and
100, consider yourself to be a
pretty good, competent speaker.
You're fairly at home on the
platform and almost always get
your point across.
27. If you scored between 60 and 80, you
are an average business speaker. You
know where your shortcomings are and
have a desire to be more effective in
getting your message across. You
have a few minor kinks that can be
worked out. In today's challenging
business environment you know you
have to get better to stay competitive.
28. If you scored below 60 you have a lot
of room to grow, but with dedication
and practice you will become a better
speaker.
If you scored below 40, that indicates
a lot of 3's and 4's on your test sheet,
strongly indicating many areas on
which you need to seriously focus if
you are to improve your speaking
skills.
