If you want to become a great speaker or trainer, a major public speaking tip is that you must know WHAT to do and WHAT not to do.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

And there are some small (yet impactful) differences that separate world’s best speakers and those who struggle and unfortunately never make it. <\/span><\/p>\n

For example, winging your talk is not a good idea. If someone tells you should do this and just “learn from the experience,” you should probably run from this person and yes, not listen to a word they say. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because that\u2019s just bad advice. Winging it is a disservice to everyone who is spending their precious time (and maybe even money) with you. <\/span><\/p>\n

So if you know WHAT to do and WHAT not to do, becoming a successful speaker and trainer is much easier. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019ve put together 6 tips that will make a HUGE impact on any future talks you give in person or online. Enjoy!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Be Yourself <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

One of the biggest mistakes I find most trainers make is that they pretend to be someone else. They assume they aren\u2019t \u201cnatural\u201d and try to act like someone completely different. Someone more energized or who speaks perfectly. There\u2019s just one problem: It doesn\u2019t work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what happens when you give a speech or presentation that\u2019s looks \u201cperfect\u201d: people get uncomfortable.<\/strong> They don\u2019t like you and they aren\u2019t sure why. They know you can\u2019t possibly be like this in real life, so they wonder what\u2019s hiding behind the mask of your perfect appearance, perfect words and perfect smile.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one cares that you\u2019re not perfect. In fact, most people love it! Because they aren\u2019t perfect either. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re on stage or in any setting where you\u2019re teaching a group of people, be the REAL you<\/a><\/span> despite some of your imperfections or weaknesses.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s important is what you are teaching, the knowledge and information you provide and what result it\u2019s going to have for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Have Notes For Your Script\u2026 DON\u2019T Memorize It <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

This is another bit of advice that people tend to find surprising. They think that memorizing their script makes their training more polished and professional. But the truth is, again, this just ends up looking and feeling inauthentic<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Personally, I need my notes right in front of me any time I teach. It\u2019s okay to slip in some \u201cums\u201d and \u201cahs.\u201d It\u2019s okay to stumble over your words from time to time. It\u2019s even okay to lose your place! All of these \u201cmistakes\u201d show your audience that you\u2019re a real person, just like them. And when people relate to you, it makes your training much more powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, notes help you stay on track and stay consistent with what you are talking about. It puts less stress on you and only works in your favor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Use Other Materials To Enhance Your Training Or Speech, Not As The Focus <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Have you ever sat through a lecture where the speaker just reads directly off of the slides or a \u00a0PowerPoint at the front of the room? Boring, right? <\/span><\/p>\n

What you want to do is actually engage<\/i> your audience \u2013 so<\/strong> use the slides as a way to move the training forward<\/b> and reinforce important information, but don\u2019t rely on it to deliver your training for you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask yourself what you would like if you were in the audience. This will help you with the delivery of your talk both online or offline. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are specific techniques to do this that I teach on my web class, <\/span>\u201cTeach And Get Rich<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span>. You can find more information about my free class at the bottom of this lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Do What Works For You Instead Of Following The \u201cRules\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Is your voice cracking? Did you lose your place in your notes? Are you visibly nervous? So what?! You\u2019re human! You don\u2019t need to master your delivery, body language or speech to capture your audience and be effective in this business. <\/span><\/p>\n

An important public speaking tip is knowing there\u2019s no \u201cright way\u201d to be when you train other people<\/strong>, so don\u2019t believe everything you learn about how to present or teach well. <\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, formal training on how to teach, train, or speak well isn\u2019t worth your time or money. Why? Because again\u2026 you leave your session being less authentic than ever, with tons of so-called “correct” postures, gestures, and speech.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember…<\/span><\/p>\n

Your audience might be able to learn the information you\u2019re presenting elsewhere, but they\u2019re choosing you for your unique approach and perspective\u2026 so do what works for you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nWhen it comes to training others, remember that your audience might be able to learn the information you\u2019re presenting elsewhere, BUT they\u2019re choosing YOU for your unique approach and perspective\u2026 so do what works for you! <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

5. Have Great Information That Will Help Other People<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

This one feels like it should go without saying, but don\u2019t give a presentation if you aren\u2019t going to freaking HELP people! Is the information you\u2019re teaching going to be useful in their lives? Are you going to teach them a new skill<\/a>,<\/span> or help them better understand a difficult subject?<\/span><\/p>\n

If the answer to those questions is \u201cno\u201d\u2026 stop what you\u2019re doing right now. Go back and think about how you can approach your topic in a way that will help people in the best and most valuable way possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ask yourself: Would I be THRILLED to be in the audience listening to my talk? Would it help ME in my life?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Again if not, you need to go back to the drawing board and work on your talk.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Involve Your Audience<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

So often I see people assume training just means reciting information to a crowd. But that\u2019s not the reason you\u2019re there \u2013 you\u2019re there to help your audience learn something. Involving them makes it more fun and it brings up the energy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ask questions. Make jokes. Make the training a conversation between yourself and your students. Not only will this make your training more engaging and keep the audience\u2019s attention, but you\u2019ll also be creating a deeper relationship with your students and enhancing your business<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s one method I use to do this with my audience. It\u2019s considered “super learning” and I teach you how to use it on my brand new web class, \u201c<\/a><\/span>Teach And Get Rich<\/i><\/span><\/a>,\u201d<\/span> that you can attend for free when you <\/span>click here.<\/span><\/p>\n
