Willingness Leading To - How To Be A Public Speaking Star Self Help
November 23rd, 2008

Let's consider a few ideas to help you grow to be a public speaking star. During the process of writing your speech you will need the willingness to say I am not sure. You will need the ability to define terms, practice to tolerate processes and actions, understand thinking critically, seeking hot spots, and considering where your information is coming from.

While you may believe the most important part of giving the speech on stage, the fact is writing the speech is the most important since this will determine how you are viewed on stage.

One thing you want to keep in mind as you write your speech is that any debate can resolve without problems. Some of the most essential debates have claimed lives; therefore learn to define the terms of your meaning as you write your speech.

A person willing to say he is uncertain of an idea is a person willing to go out and find the facts to put a sentence together. In our society people expect you to answer questions right away, otherwise you a considered a liar or confused. Thus, a critical mind will see past these biases and judgments and think carefully anyway. The world is filled with contradictory people that pressure you to be confident, yet the world of people will tear down that confident quickly. Don't let them.

This brings us to practicing tolerance. As you write your speech you may feel frustrated along the way. If you have a difference of opinion on a truth you find, research harder to verify the truth. Just because the opinion is unbelievable doesn't mean it isn't true.

One thing you don't want to do as you write your speech is put off ideas, defend your own opinions or put down someone else's opinion. This is not a critical thinker; this is a person that likely will become a drinker. A person willing to put forth the efforts of writing his speech will respect other people's opinions regardless of how ludicrous it sounds.

Some of the most damning situations have occurred in history, which came from a bunch of uncritical losers or thinkers. For instance, slavery is a big issue today regardless that slavery was abolished. The facts are that every race at one time where slaves, yet the big focus are on blacks. The facts is always there, therefore seeking them out before calling down judgment on something you have little knowledge about.

If you have an understanding before criticizing another person's opinion, you will come up with the facts sooner and waste less time in the process. A good speaker will sum up any disagreeable statements regardless of his or her own biases.

As you write your speech stay alert to the hot spots in the speech. For instance, if while reciting and reviewing you come to an area that poses a threat to your thinking, key in on this area and find the facts to clarify or remove it from the speech.

Now we can consider the sources. As you research the information going in your speech, seeking the facts, always consider the source. If a person is a bum on the street and gives you some advice on giving a speech, it does not mean the information given to you is not facts. Bums are people too that often have more experiences than those that are not bums. These people have lived the hardcore facts of reality. Still, you want to consider. Now we can consider a checklist.

What it takes to become a public speaking star is the will and the ability to use your critical mind. You will need terms defined, facts verified, practices of tolerances, understand what is said before criticizing, sources considered, and observation to watch out of those spots of concern
