Introduction

“The art of dealing with people is the foremost secret of successful men. A man’s success in handling people is the very yardstick by which the outcome of his whole life’s work is measured.”

– Paul C. Packe

When she spoke before crowds, her approach was to say to herself: “I am the way I am; I look the way I look; I am my age.”

-Mrs. Eugene McCarthy

Both of these statements are at the core of great public speaking. The secret of presentation excellence is to know your audience, understand what they want, and give it to them…all the while forgetting about our own insecurities.

Since most of us have a fear of public speaking second only to our fear of death, isn’t being self-conscious a natural part of that fear? How do we overcome it? How do we put the spotlight on the audience when, in actuality, the spotlight is on us as the speaker? Believe it or not, there’s a formula that everyone can follow, a formula that will take you from frightened novice to accomplished pro. After doing a lot of research on this subject, I can tell you that all the expert speakers agree on this basic formula. It isn’t difficult to follow, but following it makes all the difference between success and failure as a speaker.

After you’ve read this eBook, even before you’ve given an actual speech, I think you’ll come to two conclusions: first, this formula isn’t hard to follow, and second, it will work! Let’s give it a try.
