Last week I, as a member of my Rostrum Club, was asked to give a training session on public speaking. Now, roughly, there are five skills in public speaking:
- Purpose
- Content
- Structure
- Vocal Skills
- Body Language
My training session was on ‘purpose’ of the speech. Unfortunately I ran out of time (!) in giving my speech, but I have decided to publish the content and material on the blog. There is a good checksheet on how to address purpose in your speech, and how to integrate it into the other four skills, but it is provided here in all its glory:
The Rostrum Club meets weekly and it’s essential for anyone who is not a natural public speaker to learn to speak with confidence. Details on Rostrum are available online at: www.rostrum.com.au
Incidentally, no-one noticed my little joke in the powerpoint. A coffee to the first person who spots it.
