We make public speaking skills an ongoing focal point of our Atlas Promotions developmental strategy. The ability to effectively communicate important information to a large audience is a key tool in reaching our growth potential. Here are a few simple techniques we use to speak with greater confidence. 

We’ve found that opening with a joke is typically a good way to get off to a confident start. If we can put smiles on our listeners’ faces right off the bat, we feel more at ease getting into our key points. A self-directed joke is especially helpful, because it breaks down whatever invisible wall might separate us from our audience. 

Finding attentive people in the crowd also helps us make more assured speeches on behalf of Atlas Promotions. When we revisit these friendly faces throughout our presentations, we get quick confidence boosts. Our vocal deliveries become more effective when we feel that our points are being heard and appreciated. 

Practise also helps us go into every speech with confidence, because we don’t have to worry about stumbling over our words. We rehearse every presentation with a practise audience, sometimes consisting of trusted colleagues. They give us honest feedback that helps us refine our messaging and streamline our deliveries. 

These strategies help us leave positive impressions on our listeners every time we take the stage. Check out the Atlas Promotions Facebook for more of our public speaking advice.
