2. Why we wanted training in public
speaking
To overcome our nervousness
To be able to think on their feet and to speak with self-
confidence and ease before a group and size
3. Every person can develop his own
latent capacity if he has desire to
do so
the ability to do this is not difficult to acquire. It is not
a gift by providence on only a few rarely endowed
individuals.
It is like the ability to play golf any man or women.
4. Many experienced speakers can think better and talk
better when facing a group then they can in
conversation with an individual.
The presence of the larger number proves to be a
stimulus, an inspiration.
5. Many men who afterward became famous speakers
were at the outset of their careers, beset with self
consciousness and almost paralyzed with audience
fright.
This was the experience of BRYAN,JEAN JAURES,
LIOYD GEORGE, CHARLES STEWART PARNELL,
JOHN BRIGHT, etc.
6. No matter how often you speak, you may always
experience this self confidence just before you begin.
In a few seconds after you have gotten on your feet, it
will vanish completely
7. There are four things about developing courage and
self confidence:
8. Start with a strong and persistent
desire
There are innumerable benefits of this effort
Arouse your enthusiasm for it
It can mean to you financially, socially in term of
influence and leadership
The depth of your desire will depend the swiftness of
your progress
9. Know thoroughly what you are
going to talk about
Prepare your self about what are you going to say
You can’t feel confident unless you know what you are
going to say
10. Act confident
To feel brave
You can conquer your fear of audiences by taking
advantage of this psychological fact that is
Act as if we were brave, use all of your will to that end
and a courage fit will likely replace the fit of fear
11. Practice
Fear is a result of a lack of confidence, and lack of
confidence is the result of not knowing what you can
do , and that is the result of not knowing what you can
do, and that is caused by a lack of experience
Get a record of successful experience behind you, your
fear will vanish

13. The Right Way to Prepare
What is preparation?
The setting down of some mechanical sentences on paper?
Real preparation consists in digging
something out of yourself, in assembling and arranging
your own thoughts, in cherisrung and nurturing your own
convictions
when he thought out his own ideas, developed his own
illustrations
14. What Preparation Really Is
It means the assembling of your thoughts, Your ideas,
your convictions, your urges.
Preparation means thinking, brooding, recalling,
selecting the ones that appeal to you most, polishing
them, working them into a pattern. A mosaic of your
own.
15. How Lincoln Prepared His
Speeches
Do not sit down and try to manufacture a speech in
thirty minutes.
A speech can't be cooked to order like a steak.
A speech must grow. Select your topic early in the
week,
Ask yourself all possible questions concerning it.
That was Lincoln's method. It has been the method of
almost all successful speakers.
16. How to Prepare Your Talk
Determine your subject in advance, so that you will
have time to think it over in odd moments.
After you have done a bit of independent thinking, go
to the library and do some reading on your topic.
17. The Secret of Reserve Power
Collect more material, more information, than there is
any possibility of employing.
Assemble a hundred thoughts; discard ninety.
The way to develop reserve power is to know far more
than you can use,
