GESTURES AND BODY LANGUAGE

Seven SecretsSpeakers generate a great amount of emotion and interest through the use of non-verbal 
communication, often called gestures or body language. A speaker's body can be an 
effective tool for emphasizing and clarifying the words they use, while reinforcing their 
sincerity and enthusiasm. Here are a few tips on how to use gestures effectively:
  • Eye contact establishes an immediate bond with an audience, especially when a 
speaker focuses in on individual listeners rather than just gazing over the audience as 
a whole.
  • Control mannerisms. Mannerisms are the nervous expressions a speaker 
might not be aware of such as putting their hands in their pockets, nodding their head 
excessively, or using filler words like um and ah too often.
  • Put verbs in to action when speaking to an audience by physically acting them 
out with the hands, face or entire body.
  • Avoid insincere gestures by involving the entire body as much as possible in 
the movement and matching facial expressions to it.
  • Move around the stage as topics change and move toward the audience when 
asking questions, making critical connections, or offering a revelation

VISUAL AIDS AND PROPS

Club ExperienceVisual aids and props are an effective way of supporting and supplementing
 any speech or presentation. Visual aids and props should be colorful and unique, 
but not so dazzling that they detract from the speaker's presence. Never use visual aids 
and props as a way of avoiding eye contact or interaction with an audience, such as 
reading directly from slides. Here is a list of common visual aids and props, and quick 
tips for using them effectively:
  • Diagrams, graphs and charts should always coincide with what is being said in
 the speech. Always stand to the side of a diagram, graph or chart while facing the audience.
  • Maps should be simple and easy to understand, with key places or points 
clearly plotted or marked.
  • PowerPoint slides should present main points as short sentences and bullet 
points and should never be read verbatim by the speaker or presenter.
  • Lists should be kept to a minimum. Five or six listed items are usually enough.
  • Handouts should be passed out to an audience before or after a presentation 
to avoid wasting time and causing a distraction.
  • Photographs or sketches can be powerful visual aids as long as a speaker 
maintains consistency between what is being said and what is being shown. 
  • Physical objects and props should not be too large or too small, nor too few or 
too many. They should always be relevant to the presentation or speech and should 
always be checked prior to taking the stage to make sure they are working properly.

SUCCESSFUL SPEECHES

Whether you're talking to a small group of people or speaking to a large audience,
you want to be sure your speech is memorable and enjoyable. Follow these five easy
tips to help ensure your speech delivers:
  • Be prepared. Your audience is giving you their time and consideration, 
so rehearse enough to be confident you'll leave a good impression.
  • Start strong. Begin your speech with a powerful opening that will grab 
your audience's attention, such as a startling fact or statistic, an interesting story or 
a funny joke.
  • Be conversational. Avoid reading your speech word for word. Instead, refer to 
notes or points from an outline to help your speech have a more free-flowing, 
conversational tone.
  • Speak with passion. If you're truly invested in what you're saying, you'll be
 better able to keep your audience's attention.
Seven Secrets
  • Be patient. It's easy to get frustrated 
if you make a mistake. But remember t
hat public speaking is not easy and it
 takes time to hone your skills. 
Keep practicing and you will reach 
your goals.

SPEAKING TO DIVERSE AUDIENCES

Speech ContestsGiving a speech or presentation to an audience of people who speak various languages
or have differing cultural backgrounds requires special tact on the part of the speaker.
Here are some tips and techniques on how to effectively engage a diverse audience:
  • Enunciate clearly. If possible, try to speak with a neutral accent to better include 
all audience members.
  • Don't speak too fast. Remember that the normal pace of speech in one language 
might become incomprehensible for people relatively new to that language.
  • Be careful with metaphors. Some metaphors that are appropriate in one culture 
can be offensive to another. A good example is references to sports not popular or 
practiced in a certain country, or phrases that are comical in one culture yet offensive in 
another.
  • Know the meanings of words outside your native language
Unless you are absolutely sure of the meaning and pronunciation of a word you are
 using in a given language, do not use it. In some languages, slight variations of a vowel 
will completely alter the meaning of a word.
  • Avoid slang, jargon and idiomatic expressions. Diverse audiences may not 
understand slang from a given country. English phrases such 
as "that dog don't hunt" or "cool as a cucumber" might be colorful, but the meaning
could be lost on a large part of the audience.
  • Be mindful of body language, eye contact and personal space. Posture, 
mannerisms and eye contact speak volumes and what is taken for granted in one culture
 might be considered offensive in another.

INTRODUCING SPEAKERS

If you host a special event, you may be required to introduce speakers. 
Try these quick tips for delivering thoughtful speaker introductions:
  • Don't steal the show by making the introduction too long (60 seconds or less is 
sufficient), or by speaking on a topic that is in no way related to the speaker.
  • Grab the audience's attention 
with a great opening. This can be an inspiring quote, a humorous anecdote, or an 
impressive milestone the speaker has achieved.
  • Briefly mention the topic the speaker is addressing, but don't reveal too much 
about his or her speech.
  • Establish the speaker's 
  • authority and expertise. This information will help solidify with the audience 
the speaker's credibility as a subject matter expert.
Club Meeting Roles

GIVING SALES PITCHES

District Leader TutorialsA sales pitch or proposal seeks to persuade. The objective of the presentation is
to sell a product, concept or idea. The ability to present sales pitches and proposals
 effectively can open the door to professional opportunities.
To organize ideas into an effective sales pitch or proposal, use the “inverted pyramid”
 approach, which gives an audience the most important information in the first few
sentences (how much money might be saved, how lives might be improved, etc.).
Support claims with logic and evidence, and end every sales pitch or proposal 
with a call to action. If an audience agrees with the initial message or point,
the supporting material that follows will reinforce that agreement. If an audience
disagrees, logic and evidence may win them over.
Use high-quality yet simple visual aids, such as charts or slides, to help clarify
any sales pitch or proposal. Make sure the visual aids can be seen by every person
 in the audience, and limit each chart or slide to a single main point.
Offer a question-and-answer period following a sales pitch or proposal,
which can supply you with valuable feedback about the effectiveness of the pitch.
It also gives an audience the opportunity to further clarify specific points or data
that was presented. Below are a few ways toeffectively answer questions 
from an audience:
  • Anticipate possible questions by rehearsing with colleagues or friends.
  • Provide answers that support the sales pitch or proposal.
  • Disarm loaded questions (those based on false premises or irrelevant 
assumptions) by being polite and asking the questioner to further explain his or her question.
  • Divide complicated questions into several parts before answering them.

DELIVERING TECHNICAL BRIEFINGS

Speech Contest TutorialsA technical briefing is a speech that conveys technical information to a specific
audience, usually in a workplace.
Technical briefings should be presented in a way that allows an audience to understand 
and apply critical information. Technical briefings can range from an engineer
briefing a group of managers on a current project, to a retail supervisor explaining
 a new company policy to the store employees. Follow the steps below to ensure
your technical briefings are as effective as they can be:
  • Know your audience. Avoid using too much industry jargon or material that is 
too technical for your colleagues to easily understand.
  • State the purpose of the technical briefing in one or two sentences and use this 
summary as the focal point for the entire presentation.
  • Arrange the material into an outline containing an introduction, 
main points and a conclusion.
  • Summarize the main points of the technical briefing during the conclusion.

ACCEPTING AWARDS

Public Speaking TipsAccepting an award graciously requires thought and preparation. The tips listed below can help:
  • Write your award acceptance speech in the form of a script and memorize it.
  • Practice frequently and rehearse with a timer.
  • Pause, smile and count to three before speaking.
  • Be gracious. Refrain from apologizing for any reason.
  • Avoid filler words such as "um", "ah", "so," "but" and "you know".
  • Keep names to a minimum and pronounce all names correctly.
  • Make the last line of an award acceptance speech expendable in case time runs out.


PRESENTING AWARDS

Who We AreWhen recognizing someone for a job well done, it's important to highlight the
value of both the award and the recipient. To create a memorable presentation,
explain the criteria for the award and how the recipient met those criteria.
Here are a few additional guidelines:
  • Tell a story about the significance of the award.
  • Pronounce names of the recipients correctly.
  • Provide background on the recipient.
  • Hold the award respectfully and hand it to the recipient as if it were a treasure.
  • Wait to invite the recipient to the lectern until you formally introduce them.
  • Stand so the audience can see the recipient and the award clearly.
