2. Confidence: What is up, everyone? We're back for another episode today and we're going to be talking about public speaking. This is round 2, but this is the first episode where we're going to be diving into what it means to be a public speaker. So we're so excited to be with you today. We're so excited that you are here with us as well. You know, one thing people do all the time, especially when it comes to skills and acts cetera, is that they give out long drawn out surgeons about their topic. We don't exist for that. We exist to give you short to the point content that will build you as an individual. So let's get started. Today. Today we were talking about confidence. Confidence is key when it comes to public speaking, did you know that public speaking is the worst fear among individuals and the entire United States of America. That's crazy. So we're here to help build your competence. If there's one thing that you need to do before you start writing a speech or anything else, is to know your confidence. The built up in that confidence when you walk on the stage is what you have, you're ready to go. So there are three Ps when it comes to confidence in, but three Ps are this. Number one. This is the three things that you should know coming away from today. Number one, purpose, number two, presence. And number 3, last but not least, preparation. Again, number one is purpose. Number two was presence, and number three is preparation. And we're going to go over what that means right now. So number one, we're going to talk about purpose. And thirty-seconds, I would like you to tell me what your purpose in life is. You can go ahead and pause the video or just think about it to yourself. But I would encourage you to even say it out loud as you watch this. What is your purpose in life? Go ahead, say it out. Okay. What is your purpose in life? If you couldn't tell me this? I don't want to be the Debbie Downer here. But you can't do anything in public speaking until you know your purpose. Let me tell you why. Because your confidence come from with him. If you know why you're there. If you know why you're on this earth, if you know why you're doing what you're doing. That that will show to everyone else around you. And you will have the confidence in the periphery to step into this thing called public speaking and giving the speech presentation, a teaching, whatever that might be. Know, your purpose. Purpose equals performance. If you have a Ferrari, the Ferrari, you put the Ferrari in the water. How is this performance score in sub B? Probably not great, right? Because the Ferrari's performance and purpose is not supposed to be driving on water. The purpose of the Ferrari is to drive on the road. Same thing with you. If you're a Ferrari, you've got what it takes to do this. Taking this class is the first step to that. So why is your purpose in life? What triads you on the inside? What gets you up in the morning? What are you passionate about? What are you excited about? What causes or what thing that gets you? Go in, let us know that, write that down and write out one sentence and sent over, over and over to yourself. And I promise you, I promise you, that will change the game, in your confidence, that will change the game, and you will walk even more confidently than ever before. Okay? Number one is purpose. What is your purpose in life? Number 2, presence. When it before I go on stage to give a speech, to give a sermon, a taut, whatever that might be, a presentation, a teaching. One of the things that I always do is work out. I work out anyways, but I actually work out even harder that days before I do a speech. And the reason is this is not so I can look jacked out on stage or the call buffering thing adult. The reason is this is because when you work out, you all a sudden build confidence inside of you. It releases enzymes and it works in your brain and there's all the science behind it that I don't have time to get into today. But the reality is, is when you do this, all of a sudden, your mindset changes into, I don't know if I can do, I can. You've built confidence inside of a view. Go for a run. Eat healthy. Make sure you get good sleep. Make sure that you get coffee, get energized. We want to see you on the stage. When you're energized, you're ready to go for the day and you've got everything go on. You can have all the nerves in the world. But once you get on stage and that you've done your preparation of having that presence on stage. And you will own the room, and the room won't own you. So number one is purpose. Number two is presence. Let's see your presence on stage. Let's see you work out getting the gym kit ready to go. And last but not least, number three is this pre pair. Number three is your preparation. This is so important. You're an expert. So prepare like it. You're the only one in the room who's qualified to be talking about what you're talking about. So prepare lucky. You don't have to have everything under the sun speech. But the more you prepare and the more notes you take beforehand. I usually take a week beforehand to prepare whatever I have to say in a talk. Because I want to be prepared. I want to do my research kit ready. Get your notes in alignment. Also, practice makes perfect. Get your talk, talk it out, close the door. Imagine yourself in the space. Imagine yourself in the room with thousands of people listening to you. Talk it out, record yourself, go back and listen to it. All of that will go confidence. So that when the day comes that you're giving it, all of a sudden, you have a competence inside of you like I'm ready to go. Okay, so those are the three P's. Number one, again, is purpose. What is your purpose in life? What drives you? Number 2, presence. Are you working out? Are you eating right? Or you get yourself energized so that you have that presence and you're ready to go. And number three is your preparation. Did you study to show yourself approved? And did you talk it out? Did you practice it? Because practice makes perfect. We are so excited to go on this journey with you. You're gonna do awesome. We're here to support you into bills you and we're just honored to be a part of your journey. Thank you and we will see you next time.
3. Preparation/ Reasearch: What is up, guys? We're back for another episode today. Last episode, if you remember, we talked about competence, how to instill competence inside of us so that when we get the opportunity that we have to wait for, we can kill it on stage. Today we're talking about the very simple, practical information of creating a talk. I'm super excited, we're going to jump right into it today. So there's three things you need to know and creating the top number one is research. Number 2 is implementation. Number three. Practice. Again. Number one, it's research. Number 2 is implementation. In number three. It's practiced if you like acronyms, like for me, this forms the acronym RIP because rest in peace to your competition is trying to do with our speech. No, I'm kidding. But seriously, this is what we need to be doing. So it's a three-part series. Let's jump right on in and not waste your time today. So number one is research and we create a talk. We need to do our due diligence and research the topic as best as we can. Personally, what I do when I get invited to talk somewhere or give a presentation is I take one to two days. I'm thinking and research. For example, if I'm going to try to sell you this pen classic business example right? Now. I'm going to try to sell you this pen. I'm going to go to the retailer, ask them questions, go to the producer, ask them questions. I'm gonna go online and do as much research as I can't online about this pen. If I try and teach you how to sell 10, I will talk to a salesperson about how to sell them. I will do as much research as I can. One of the things I do is on the first day I create what's called a word splash, which is a Google document where I just take us much notice as possible on the given topic. For example, I'm doing selling this pen that I'm going to not even have a organization at all. But my dogs can be filled with bullet points and as much notice as possible about information about this pen, about selling this pen, and how it produces income as possible. This is a great way. Do any, any different, any organization or a thing. This is a great way to formulate your thoughts. The second day what I do is I come back to, well, I've just created, which was the word splash. And I get an idea of how I want to outline my talk. I get kind of an idea of what's going to make the cut, the information that's gonna make the cut into my talk. And which information is irrelevant. We don't need to have within the confines of this talk. So that is the research I take one to two days to do it. And what I would like you to do right now is come up with that main point and main idea that you want to do a talk on. Okay, that could be selling a pen, that could be maybe create a hat, creating a brand. That could even be how to do something, how to build a woodshed or something like that. It doesn't matter. But then do research, find three to five main points on the internet, write it down, and then we will go into the next session with that information. Okay. Thank you. Let's get going.
4. Implementation: All right guys, welcome back to Part 2. We're going to show right on into it today we were talking about implementation. Remember we have our three-step process for creating a good talk and speech. Number 1 is research, number 2 is implementation. Number three is practice forms, the acronym R I peek, research, implementation and practice. So today you're going to be talking about implementation. We're actually forming the outlet, okay? We have our research done. You have everything. Here we go. For me, the outline. One of the most important things that you can do is have the strong intro and a strong conclusion. But I personally do when I write my talk out is now I write that May at the very top the hand of my outline so that I always know what I'm talking about. Research shows that especially and millennials and Gen Z, our attention span is lower than any time in history. If you can't capture your audience within the first five to ten seconds, you're going to lose them for the rest of your talk. But if you can make so clear, I can find that way to word words so well. You can keep them for the rest of your talk. So a strong intro and a strong altro. Can you capture them in the beginning? And can you drive your main point home as the last thing that they remember in your talk. So what we're gonna do today is this. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about creating an intro and outro, as well as the means of it. When you create an intro, always drive your main point O. If there's anything that you remember when you walk away from this talk, it's fast selling a pen. One of the best ways to improve your sales, reputation and skill set. Boat easy done. That's it. That's all you need to know. Everything else I talk about is garbage. You don't need to know anything else. Because death literally the main point, which is why we have at the top of the outline that selling this pen will improve the way you sell things for her. Okay, guys, what you should do, find that main point, find that thesis statement, that mission statement of what you're talking about and implement it into your outline. Strong intro, strong, altro. Now the meat of it is going to have a lot of different things. Okay, there's three different systems. I have actually personally created. There's different names for them. Other people have created different names for them, but these are three different ways that I actually personally are present. The what's in between the intro and the outro. And so there's three different ways you can do this. There is a classic three-point system which everyone on the face of the earth that knows about public speaking, but it's okay. Let me go over this with you, what that is. So you have your intro. For this three-point system, you would have your intro, you would have your main statement, your thesis statement, right? So seller to pin can change your life. And then you're going to have three pieces of evidence that support that, that main thesis statements. So selling a pen can change your life. For three pieces of evidence says, Harvard Business study says this was a movie that's made about it called Wolf of Wall Street. And there is evidence to show that those in business classes that do learn those skills to bear in the workforce. Finally, my conclusion is learn how to solve pen can change your life. Bill. That's a three-point system. And under those three points, unlike so harvests, Harvard Business School says this list will, Harvard Business School says, You say why that's relevant, why that's important for us. Next point, okay? There's a movie made about it, which means that this is a popular idea. Here's y, here's y, here's y. Next point. This has been proven to change people's lives. This is what business students learn. Here's why mobile, mobile learn this and so imports, That's your report speech never to the four-point system. Okay, this is a little bit more creative. So you're gonna have your main point, selling a pen if you change your life, here's four thoughts about selling the pen. Here's what I think. So this is a little bit more what I think, not necessarily what research shows. Okay, you can bring your research in, but this is a little bit more of your own thoughts and here's the research to back it up. So selling the pen can change your life? I think so because of this. I think so because of this. I think so because of this. I think so because of this. So under each one of those, because it has the evidence to show, because I think this, this is what the Harvard Business School says or whatever. It's kinda like for thoughts on what you've done or what your expert in within the confines of your mapo. It last but not least, is the one-point system. This is a very classic one. But what happens is you keep your main point through the entirety of the speech. So a lot of guys will do, and actually I had done this a couple times. If you say your main point at the very beginning, you tell a story and that story connects to the main point. And then you talk about that main point. And you go back and tell a story. Or maybe you have some sort of thing on stage, like like a water glass and it shows how it connects to selling a pen. I don't know. It tells us off the top my head. But you get what I'm going on here, right? And then all of a sudden, that little analogy connects to sell in Japan and all that kinda stuff. Those are things that will change the game for you when it comes to creating your outline. So what you're gonna do is you're going to choose one of those two. It's one of those three things. It's going to be the three-point system, the fourth thoughts system, your four thoughts about this, or the one-point system. Create a story in interweave some sort of analogy or you could do to stores, to analogies. But it all circles back to the main point throughout the entirety of the talk. Choose one, use your research, create your outline, and then we'll go over it and it's going to be absolutely perfect. And I'm excited to see what you guys come up with. All right, let's go do it. We're going to create communication experts and we're excited to see what you come up with.
5. Practice: What is up You guys Welcome to part 3 today of our series of how to form a talk. Today, we're gonna be talking about practice and the previous two, if you haven't watched them yet, go back and watch them, is research, implementation. And then today we're talking about practice and forms the acronym, our IP, research, implementation and practice. Those steps you must take to create an effective talk. In a minute, you're going to see me go to my living room and I'm going to show you how to practice a talk that will absolutely in thrall your audience. You have to command the stage when you're giving a talk. What am I mentors used to tell me this, that he would go to the actual value that he was speaking before anybody would enter, he would present his entire talk to the stance to mt stands, but envisioned thousands of people in that way that you are ready to command the stage and not let the stage command G. And that is so important. We can't always, I can't always go to the venue beforehand and do all that, but we can do our best with what we have to to reenact the same thing. So you're going to see me go to my living room and let's go there. Let's see how to practice our speech. Own the room. Alright, so when you're practicing your speech, one of the things you want to do is make it relatable and engaging. One of the ways you can do this is by getting up, clearing out your living room like I did in recording yourself. So you can see what you do well and what you need to work on. One of the things that I do a lot is I'm moved when I talk as I do my talk and my speech. Too many people have just like the standard like this, can give their speech. And Reid author note screen and then finish the day. You want to move. Be relatable and show that you are excited about what you have to present to us. You will see me a lot when I do my speeches. I will move over here for point number 1, then over here for point number 2. But if I'm doing steps of a process on my say, Okay, Step 1 is this thing, step two is this thing, and step three is this thing. And you will see me moving throughout the entire t of my speech in my talk. These are just a few things that will help you make sure you smile. They actually make good eye contact. Sometimes one of the things you can do that's really good. Just stage advice is when you make a joke, step back, get big, get the audience rolling. But going to make a point, it close to the audience, lower your voice. It's effective and more than Package relatable and it connects with your audience. These are just a few things you can practice as you do your speech. So go ahead and practice those things and we'll come back together. All right, Those are just a few things that you can do. Go ahead, get your speech together, practicing in your room, do the best you can to physically talk it out, walk through it, and I'm sure you're gonna do great. I'm super excited to see how the speech of yours turns out. We will see you next time.
6. Strategies for Success: What is up, guys? This is the last episode. Congratulations, you have made it. We have done that. We have created your speech or a talk, and it looks amazing. Looks all pearly white polished but mobile money. And we are excited to jump into this last part, which is tips and tricks, strategies for success when it comes to your presentations, your talk, and elsewhere. So we are excited to jump into today. Let's get started. Won't take us at all. It honestly, this is my favorite part of the whole thing. If I could do it, ask for all of this, would matter of fact, don't be surprised if you see one. Be sure to like it, subscribe, go do it, is going to be awesome. But besides that, we're going to jump into a rehab today. The content for you to get you better to be in a communication expert. All right, so let's jump right on it. I hope you have your speech handy because I'd love to go over these strategies with you for success. A lot of these are things I personally use and I find themselves so helpful. But there's only a few that we're going to cover today. And these are some of the most effective things that you can use when you're giving your business TO your presentation or your talk. So there's three things. You know, I love threes. There's three things I want to go over with you today. One is this, know your audience. That's right. Know your audience. There were two. How you order your outline matters. It matters, it matters how you present it matters. What you do about is how it's going to come across to the view. Number 3. Use tactics. Yes, there are tactics, speech tactics, the way you can get your audience engaged, use them to your advantage. I promise you, you will see it way better results than you could ever even imagine. So let's go to number one. Number one is know your audience. I'm going to ask you some questions. And these are the questions that you should ask yourself whenever you start a top, okay? Whenever you're preparing for one. Number one, who is your audience? To? What interests does your audience have? Number 3, why are they here? Why are they in this room? Are they talking today? What is the point of them being here? And number four, how older? Again, your, your questions, who are they? What interests does your audience have? How old are they? And why on earth are they in this room? Why are they here listed to you today? Those questions are so important when you're preparing your outline, when preparing your talk. Because if you can't tell me where your audiences from, why they're here, why they're doing what they're doing, and why they're sin here to listen to you today then is going to be tough for you to connect with your audience. One of the most important things you can do is get off of being the guy on the stage and being personable and being connected book, you've gotta make your talk personal. Gotta get them to engage and say, May I use one of us, not just an outsider speaking, this guy or this girl knows me. That's what you want. You can get that. You have sold your audience. So make sure you do that. Make sure you can connect with them. Get personal, tell a joke, tell story that's related pool, but note them from the inside out. Know who you're talking to. And it did if you know them and it changed the game for you, it will change the game. Number two, is this. Your outline matters. Okay? You're a storyteller. So tell the story. What does the story have? A good story hasn't beginning and ending. It has rising tension at a climax, it has folly, intention, has multiple moments of strife and struggle. Think you'll like this. Star Wars. George Lucas is known as one of the greatest storytellers of all time. He could easily ordered the events Anyway, he wanted to, but he ordered them specifically throughout the movie so that he would reach a climax and that we would have something that hits us right at the right moment after rising up until the tension all the way to the moment on the Death Star. Sorry if you haven't seen Star Wars, but the way to the moon on the desktop where everything's happening and they have to retreat and runaway and retreat back to the Rebel Base. It was a climax. Similarly, in your talks, have to have a climax. You have to have this rising tension. If you can play with that and play with your audience's emotions, by the way, you order your points by what you say when you say it, how you say it. If your outline reflects that, you will be able to move your audience, which is what every speaker dreams of doing, is not just presenting what they have to say, but actually moving their audience. While last but not least is tactics. This is so important for us to understand that I'm going to take a little bit more time talking about this, but I want you to practice this with your own speech, okay? Think about speech tactics. We talked about this before. Being able to speed up your voice and getting really excited for something. And then slowing down talking to your audience and getting them to engage to a still small voice. That's one speech tactic you can use, which is amazing. One of the things I love to do is I like to call it the bait. This is something I do a lot in talks and it's the way I order my talks actually is that you'll have a main point at the very, very top here. But the rising tension kinda goes like this on a graph. So what I mean by that is you start here, you creep along with the story. Then you make a point and you clip a little bit more with the story and make a point. And it's building that up. And you do that over and over again until you reach the main points. But usually the main point comes out of left field, but it totally connects to the story you just talked about. Does that make sense? I hope that does because that is such a powerful way to present your information to people. One last thing that I love to do too, is use humor as a good transition. Your transitions in your talk are going to be so important. Listen to very, very educated and experienced speakers. Listen to how they trans, transition from point to point, from thing to thing, from next point. Next point is that if a flows well, oh my goodness, it will be absolutely amazing for you. It will sound so good that wherever this thing is gonna go, oh my goodness, he's the best bursa the error. So make sure your transitions down and make sure it sounds good. You, some speech tactics also use some tactics that, that you see that other speakers use. I love that we got to spend some time.
