Many public speakers perceive the public presentation podium as a signal to talk, and to talk ad nauseum. In truth, a conversational approach is much more natural and allows for the absorption of the information being presented. This means allowing for spaces of silence during the presentation.
Linda Ellis attempts to present her Live Your Dash message, originating from her enormously successful poem The Dash, in her most audience friendly style, retaining the fire and passion she feels for helping others live a full life. In order to make the presentations as impactive and inspiring as possible, Ellis may strive to improve her presentation skills through practice, speaking instruction, feedback and studies of her own performance on video.
Frightening at first, the interjection of moments of silence in an oral presentation is empowering for effective speakers; pauses which permit listeners to consider important points, and for speakers to take a deep, calming breath. The more confident the speaker, the more appreciative of silences he or she becomes, and the more adept at using them to improve the message. Public speakers like motivational speaker and author Linda Ellis, who regularly presents her Live Your Dash inspirational talk (based upon her world-famous poem The Dash), recognize the self-affirming power of congratulating themselves on a job well done.
Recalling the successful moments of an oration buoy one over even while using mistakes as a springboard for improvement. Nonprofit organizations, such as Toastmasters, are also enormously supportive for speakers, providing training in speaking and leadership abilities.
