Public Speaking Success Tip – Creating a confident first impression
Before you open your mouth to say the first word of your speech, you are communicating with the audience. Your stance, facial expression and body language are a picture that paints a thousand words. Make it calm, confident and pleasant, and you start “on the right foot!” So plant both of your feet, stand up straight and smile at them. You’ll feel confident, sincere and professional and the audience will know. Then you can play with them.
Ah, you never have a second chance to make a first impression. It’s so true that your confidence when you take the stage can affect how the audience views you. This was one of the things that Darren LaCroix claimed helped him win the world championship of public speaking.
