JLBC Title: Public Speaking


JLBC Title: Public Speaking

Aim (why this session?):

• To get practical tips and tools to support better speaking skills

• To build confidence when it comes to talking in front of a group

• To practice speaking skills

• To find out the reasons why people are afraid of public speaking and how to defeat

nervousness

Description (what happened?):

We started with some games and energizers to get comfortable with the other participants. In the beginning, everybody explained their expectations for the workshop and told their own experience. All were listening to the person who had the ‘’key’’ to talk, and others had no opportunity to comment. After this, we discussed what skills you must have to become a good speaker and how to prepare a speech (manuscript, presentation, room, handout, clothes, etc.). At the end of the workshop, we did an exercise as a public speakers. We prepared our speech and presented it to other members of the group. The participants gave feedback about our strengths and weaknesses.

Outcomes (what have you learned?):

From this session, we learned that during public speaking and performing, it is essential how you look, what kind of body language you use, etc. If you want to be sure about yourself, about what you have to say, you need good preparation before the speech. Do not be afraid of public speaking; just be prepared and feel confident. Prepare for the worst but believe in the best!

What can you bring back home from this day?

More skills and self-confidence to speak publicly and become a better speaker.
