Public Speaking Masterclass

Practical techniques for confident, compelling delivery

Interactive session — participate live

Why Most People Fear Public Speaking

Glossophobia affects up to 75% of the population. But fear and excitement feel almost identical in the body — the difference is how you interpret the sensation.

😰

Loss of Control

Uncertainty about how the audience will react.

🧠

Negative Self-Talk

The inner critic predicting failure before you start.

👀

Spotlight Effect

Overestimating how much others notice your mistakes.

The Three Pillars of Great Delivery

1

Clarity

Say one thing per sentence. Pause between ideas. Let your point land.

2

Confidence

Stand tall, breathe from your diaphragm, hold eye contact for three seconds.

3

Connection

Use stories, not statistics. Audiences remember emotion, not data.

Quick Poll — What Matters Most?

📊 What do you think audiences value most in a speaker?

What you say (content)
How you say it (delivery)
Your credibility (expertise)
Your stories (emotion)

Structuring Your Talk

Open with a hook — a question, surprising fact, or 30-second story
State your one big idea in a single sentence
Support it with three points, each backed by a real example
Anticipate the audience's main objection and address it head-on
Close by returning to your opening hook — make it feel complete

Your Action Plan

This week

Record a 2-minute talk on your phone. Watch it once without sound, then once without video.

Next opportunity

Volunteer to speak first — the longer you wait, the bigger the fear grows.

Common trap

Memorising word-for-word. Know your structure, not your script.
