演讲：如何提升我公众演讲的能力

How can I improve my public speaking skills?Dushka Zapata, Avid learner.Written May 28, 2016 · Featured in IncI do presentation training for a living.In the years that I have done this I have noticed a theme.People feel they are not presenting well because they are not good presenters.Instead, people are not presenting well because the content of their presentation is disconnected from who they are.The presentation, for example, has been done over and over so their brain is on automatic.If your brain is on automatic you are going through the motions but are not really there.How can you demand from yourself that you be a good presenter for something you are not present for?Another common example to this same point: the slides were copied and pasted from other presentations, so there is a lack of cohesion and order.If I was in front of a large group of people and my slides were barely hanging together I would not feel comfortable either.Another example: the presenter is making claims or promises on behalf of their company and they are not in full agreement or don’t feel like they are telling the truth.Or, they are using “marketing-speak” and don’t feel like what they are saying makes sense or is accurate.How can you connect with a presentation if you don’t believe in the words that are coming out of your mouth?How can you “connect with your audience” if you yourself are unplugged?For me, the best part about presentation training is that it is a metaphor for life.The way you present will change if you, instead of being on automatic, wake up.If you take responsibility for what you say.If you, rather than forcing yourself to be like someone else, step fully into the person you already are.
