Reliable Public Speaking Strategies

We focus on public speaking skills in our Universal Events training program. Our experiences with giving speeches help us refine our marketing approach as well. These are the strategies we’ve found most helpful for becoming a more adept presenter.

One of the best things a speaker can do is establish an emotional connection with the audience. Rather than just recite our speeches verbatim when we’re behind the podium, we try to make as much eye contact as possible with listeners. We also use vocal modulations to convey emotions and lend a stronger sense of persuasion.

We use visual aids to bolster our key points during presentations as well. Studies have shown that people retain a higher percentage of information when they receive it through a mix of spoken words and visual cues. We use graphs, images, and even videos to ensure that our messages are relayed in the most effective ways.

There’s no substitute for being well prepared, no matter the situation. When it comes to making a compelling speech, this means rehearsing to get a good feel for the hand gestures and vocal inflections we want to use. Arriving early enough to get comfortable with the venue is another tactic that pays off well for members of Team Universal Events.
