How often have you come out of a seminar and overheard someone say, "Wow, she was great! Did you see how effectively she used her hand gestures?" That said, here are some ideas to help you become a better speaker. 1. Keep it simple 2. Be impassioned 3. Balance the format of your information 4. Build the relationships beforehand if possible 5. Get the audience to participate at varying levels if effective 6. Show, don't tell. That is, use stories, not facts and figures 7. Get rid of distracting idiosyncrasies 8.
