Energy, vitality, and enthusiasm when speaking give an audience the impression that you are a confident speaker.
If you take the advice offered on this website you will become a more confident, more compelling speaker as your energy and enthusiasm are released and the audience for your talk or presentation will believe that you are confident.
In fact anxiety and fear give you an energy that you can turn into confidence when you speak. Very often it is those that care the most that feel the most nervous.
The structure and the writing part of speaking, the words to be used, are the part that most people spend all their time agonizing over, especially someone who feels nervous and lacks confidence.
“What if I forget what to say?”, “I’ll never remember everything!”, and,”what order should I say it?” are the things you often hear people say.
The great thing is that if you know what it is that you are to deliver this slight nervousness can be a great source of strength adding to that high impact energy and enthusiasm.
Preparation beforehand is an important part of speaking but being overly concerned with getting the words exactly ‘right’ leads to looking too much at notes or results in the speech being done in an over-rehearsed way.
What you need is to have something which enables you to focus on your delivery, energy, and enthusiasm.
Clearly, if it’s easy to remember what you want to say, then you will not be chasing the words and will be less nervous, be in control, and have confidence.
Knowing what you’re going to say will leave you free to concentrate on that high impact energy and enthusiasm so the question is; how can I know what to say?
The ‘Memory Map’ technique gives you the structure of your speech providing you with the ability to know both your core message and your content when speaking.
When you are delivering your talk or presentation the Map enables you to very quickly glance down and see what you want to say, the location for each part of your talk is clear on the Map and is therefore clear for when you speak. Alternatively the Map can be visualised.
The Map locations for what you want to say will become fixed in your mind thereby increasing your confidence when delivering your talk or presentation.
By using Memory Maps you will know what to say and the order in which you want to say it and your confidence in delivering a talk, presentation or speech will grow and grow.
Other parts of this site explain Memory Mapping in detail, please go to these pages and learn all about how Memory Maps can transform your speaking.
If you follow the advice of this website you are much more likely to become a more confident, more compelling speaker; your energy and enthusiasm will be released as you know what you want to say and when to say it.
And what’s really important is that your audience will see, hear, and believe that you are a confident speaker.
