Public Speaking
I did well in is the speeches done in the past, and not so well in some. The ability to do well in the speeches was based on being able to apply the positive and strong elements of an effective public speech. First, I did well in ensuring that I overcame fear and therefore delivered the speeches with a high level of confidence (Adler 2016). I also did well in that I knew my audience, and therefore knew their likes and dislikes. I also understood their content and therefore based my speech to suit their expectations. Another area of strength was in the ability to master the topic well in relation to the event under consideration, and therefore remaining relevant throughout.
I feel that public speaking is one form of communication that requires some form of preparation. It is not as normal communication where one does not need to get prepared in advance. In public speaking, one ought to understand the audience effectively before addressing them. It is necessary to understand the kind of event and the expectations that people have. The ability to involve the audience in the speech is one of the best strategies to make a moving speech.
I am particularly worried about the ability to involve the audience in the speech. It is one of the best strategies to ensure that the audience follows on the speech. However, I have the difficulty of getting them on board and involving them from time to time. This could make the speech quite ineffective. The best advice on this could be to train as much as possible and to engage the audience when it is necessary. There is no point of engaging them all through (Adler 2016). The best story is a great experience that I have had in public speaking. The long experience has enabled me to become a better public speaker and win the confidence of my audience. Experience is a good teacher in public speaking.
