W: What makes a good speaker in public?
M: I have seen people who have something to say be terribly boring and others without anything to say but really entertaining. I would say the way the message is delivered is more important than the content itself. Public speaking is about entertaining an audience. If you’re entertaining, the room will love you already.
W: So the first thing to bear in mind is to be funny?
M: Yes. But unfortunately this one is way too often forgotten. Make the audience smile. Make fun of yourself. There is even a whole conference and business to add humor in your talks.
W: What is your second suggestion then?
M: Capable of improvising and getting out of a script. Reading your talk is boring. Best speakers memorize the talk or just memorize the outline and then improvise on it.
W: Would it be too much if the speaker talks about his personal experience?
M: Only if it is fascinating. Adventure is always entertaining. Making people dream always works. An astronaut telling his space story for example. Unusual experience easily captures people’s attention.
W: True. How about some new knowledge in the speech?
M: That is a good way to seize attention too. A good speaker often teaches you something you don’t know. For example, when I give a talk myself I always try to wonder what the audience will remember of what I said. I gave a few talks about meditation for example, and they always went great because most people are curious and want to learn about it.
