everything you want to say during your speech. In other
words, the body is the main content.
Discuss main points: The body should have three to five
main points. Next we present them from least important
to the most important, or vice versa. Each point needs to
be backed up with additional evidence such as quoting
facts, statistics, or quoting experts.

10. Keep an informative presentation brief and to the point. Stick
to the facts and avoid complicated information.
The main goal of an informative speech is to provide
enlightenment regarding a specific topic the audience knows
nothing about.
The topics covered in an informative speech should help the
audience to understand a subject better and to remember
what they learned later.
An informative speech should rely less on pathos.
11. Your purpose in an instructional presentation is to give
specific directions or orders
it has to cover your topic thoroughly.

• Explain the learning objectives of the instructional
program
• Provide participants the opportunity to ask questions,
give, and receive feedback.

• Have participants verbally state how they will use it
12. Your purpose in an arousing presentation is to make
people think about a certain problem or situation.
It is an inspirational presentation
You want to arouse the audience’s emotions and intellect
so that they will be receptive to your point of view.
Gain attention with a story that illustrates (and sometimes
exaggerates) the problem

the problem
13. Your purpose in a persuasive presentation to convince
your listeners to accept your proposal

service with fill their real needs
Close your persuasive presentation with a call

15. Your purpose in a decision-making presentation is

action.
A decision-making presentation presents ideas,
suggestions, and arguments strongly enough to
persuade an audience to carry out your requests.
tell the audience what to do and how to do it.
Describe your solution to bring a satisfactory
resolution to the problem
You should also let them know what will happen if
they don’t do what you ask.
16. Demonstrations not only to show someone
else how to do something, but can also
improve your knowledge and skill!
You must know about what you are going

Steps of process of anything.
Expand your ideas as much as you can in
the time available.
17. A formal discussion on a particular matter in a
public meeting in which opposing arguments
are put forward.
Know your subject.
• You should have an in-depth understanding of the
topic and think on your feet.
• Try Knock down your opponent.
• Convince the audience.
Mind your actions.
• You are not only being judged on what you say but
also on your demeanor.
• Avoid slouching or leaning.
18. Individual presentations relatively brief
spoken reports detailing one’s work can
take place in a range of settings the small
group classroom, the y have
You have less time
Choose the content wisely..
Even if you don’t have much preparation
time you should concentrate on making the
opening as good as possibl
19. Each individual in a group presentation should know their
role and stay consistent and cooperative with the other
members.
The first speaker should introduce the entire
presentation. After that, each speaker should introduce
the next and transition with a preview of their topic.
20. When preparing the presentation, the group should
check each individual's work for consistency of
information and formatting.
Group members should answer audience questions as a
team with no one member dominating

27. 7th
Do not apologize
Do not apologize for anything
Audience probably never notice your nervousness
28. 8th
Concentrate on your message then your medium
Get your attention off your anxieties
Focus instead on getting your message to the audience
30. Don’t Start Until You’re Ready
Pausing allows you to calm down your nerves
Take couple of deep belly-breaths to calm yourself down.
Pausing allows everyone to get on the same
vibration/energy-level.
If you’re facing a noisy audience , wait until the room is
silent and focusing on you
31. When you get nervous, shift your mindset.
The speech is not about you. It’s about your audience
yourself, focus on your audience
Once you tap into that positive, value-giving mindset,
you’ll find it easier to speak without being self-conscious.
32. It’s okay to be nervous.
However, scientifically, there is no difference between
nervousness and excitement. It’s what you choose to
label it.
Are you telling yourself, “I’m excited” or are you telling
yourself, “I’m nervous”?
It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
33. If you’re nervous, stand in the confidence posture.
What’s the confidence posture?
• Simply, stand with your back straight, your shoulders held back, your
chest front and your head up.
• Your physiology (how you stand and sit) affects how you feel, so if you
want to feel confident make sure you stand in a posture that conveys
confidence.
34. Start with a Personal Story
• Start with Question to create a Knowledge Gap
• Start with a Quote
• Start with an Interesting/Startling Statement
• Start with a Shocking Statistic
35. Don’t apologize or admit you’re nervous at the start of a
session.
Don’t say, “I’m sorry, I haven’t prepared…”
Don’t say, “I’m sorry, I’m so nervous…I’ve had a terrible
day”
Once you admit you’re nervous, it’s a self-fulfilling
prophecy…your mind and your body will act in
congruence with what you say
Moreover, if you admit you’re nervous, your audience will
start looking for signs of your nervousness…
36. Use the word “Let’s” to soften your commands.
For example, instead of saying “Keep quiet”, say “Let’s
keep quiet ”or “Let’s focus on this please.”
37. Don’t Dilute the Power of Your Words with “Try to…”
Don’t say:“Try to imagine yourself…”Instead say
“Imagine yourself…”
Don’t say: “Try to feel…”Instead say, “Feel…”
38. The sweetest sound in any language is the person’s name.
Try and meet some of your audience members before your
speech or presentation.
Use the audience’s names during the presentation. For
example, you can say, “I was talking to Asif before the
presentation, and he told me that…”
Incorporate what Asif (or another audience member) told you
into your presentation. This will make your audience feel that
you’ve customized this speech specifically for them.
39. Use visual words to paint pictures in your audience’s
mind.
For example, don’t say: “You will learn three strategies”.
Instead, say “You will pick up three tools ” or “You will
pick up three keys”
Visual words and imaginery make your message
memorable because your audience doesn’t just hear
your message, they also see it in their mind’s eye.
40. Incorporate humor into your sessions
• “For those of you who know Hamza , his name is
Chota P. And for those of you who do not know him,
his name is Hamza”
Exaggerated facial expressions also make people laugh,
so make sure that your facial expressions match your
humor
41. When you’re standing, stand with your feet shoulder-
width apart…it conveys confidence.
Don’t stand with your feet too close together because it
conveys lack of security
Having your feet too far apart conveys aggressiveness
Swaying back and forth gives your audience the
impression that you’re unsure of your self and as a result
they won’t buy into your message.
42. When you take a step forward towards your audience, it
creates intimacy...so step forward when you have an
important point to make.
Taking a step backwards creates a negative feeling in
your audience members…almost like you’re lying or
trying to hide something.
Avoid rocking back and forth on your feet…it’s
distracting.
43. Make eye contact with all sides of the room
Be sure not to isolate any side of the room by not making
eye contact with that section.
Use the “ Scan and Stop ” technique for eye contact.
Scan the room when you speak, making eye contact with
students for about a second or so.
When you come to a very important point, stop and make
eye contact with one person and deliver your line to that
person.
44. If you forget what you were saying, simply ask your
students: “Where was I?”or “What was I saying?”
If you forget where you were.
You can recover simply by asking your students where
you were.
45. “Public speaking ” is simply having a conversation with
one person…with 99 other people listening in.
Focus on having a conversation with the audience…one
person at a time…
Once you realize that public speaking is simply an
enlarged conversation with many people, you’ll become
much more relaxed during your next “ public speaking ”
event.
46. Keep your sentences short, simple and conversational.
Avoid using multiple conjunctions in one sentence (i.e.
“and….and…and”)
Shorter sentences aid comprehension.
47. Don’t keep your hands glued to your sides or behind your
back.
Use your hands naturally to show what you’re saying.
You can start off speaking with your hands mid-way up
(not down by your sides) and your hands will
automatically move naturally once as gain confidence
during your presentation.
48. Work on decreasing your um’s and errs…
Slow down your speaking rate and don’t be afraid to
pause
Instead of erring, PAUSE!
This technique will take a lot of practice…
You’ll have to overcome the power of habit…
But if you keep reminding yourself to pause, you will
eventually be “um”-free!
49. Stories are POWERFUL!
The essence of public speaking is to “tell a story and
make a point”.
“People can resist a sales message…but no one can
resist a well told story”–Patricia Fripp
51. If an audience member is laughing/talking during your
speech or presentation, make eye contact with him or
her.
This will indirectly send the message that you want them
to keep quiet. Most likely, that person will stop talking.
52. If an audience member is talking during your
presentation, subtly move closer to him/her
The proximity will alert the “ offender ” that you want
them to stop talking.
53. If a particular audience member keeps chatting during
the presentation, talk the person privately during the
break.
Don’t humiliate the person publicly because it’s likely that
he/she will feel very insulted.
54. Don’t wait until a behavior gets out of control
Address it early on and it’ll be much easier to change it.
Speak louder to grab your audience’s attention.
55. When asking people to change their behavior, always
give the why before the what
Give a reason as to why you want the student to change
their behavior
56. If an audience member challenges during your during
presentation, don’t go into a heated discussion.
Simply tell the audience member why you believe what
you believe…
Tell them that they are welcome to continue this
discussion after class.
Finish off with, “From my experience, I’ve found it to be
true that…
57. If your presentation is getting out of hand (e.g. the
audience is beginning to chat) then…
Speak softer to grab your audience’s attention
Lowering your volume causes your listeners to lean in
to hear what you’re saying –they have to work harder
to listen to what you have to say.
So, should you speak louder or speak softer?
Depends on the situation.
Try out both strategies to see what works for you.
58. One of the mistakes I’ve seen speakers make is that they
continue talking even when the audience is chatting and
not listening to them.
If your audience members begin chatting, be silent and
make eye contact with a couple of the people who are
paying attention to you.
Wait until everyone is listening to you before you go on
speaking
