Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences; yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Together, we’ll explore science-based strategies for managing anxiety, responding to the mood of the room, and making content concise, relevant, compelling, and memorable. By the end of this class, you’ll know how to navigate the situation like a pro and bring out your very best.
Matt Abrahams, ’91, lecturer in organizational behavior, Graduate School of Business

Excellent video. The best tips for better speech I have ever heard include 1. Be knowledgeable on many topics and be a subject matter expert in your area. 2. Prepare your speech. Think about what you are going to say. There is no shame in writing your speech out. 3. Read out loud every day. Just as a singer will not improve with mouthing the words silently an orator needs to practice saying words. 4. Speak slow. 5. Smile and look very comfortable. 6. Concentrate fully on your speech to get in the zone. Don't get distracted and don't lose focus. 7. Role model a great speaking. Watch videos from Obama, Jay Leno, Josh Hawley and other great speakers. Watch their head, hands and other body movement. 8. Practice giving speeches preferrable out loud or at very least in your mind. 9. If you are given a tough question, answer it in frameworks rather than being potentially wrong with the answer. 10. Ask clarifying questions before you give your answer.

It's funny because your advices may work but are very rigid and prepared in advance. But the video was about improvisation, being in the present, truly listening to your audience 😅

This is God sent. I blush and perspire and it has really destroyed my life. I am 38 years old now and still faces this issue. Somehow as a younger person I thought, that it would go away as I grow older, but it never did. I just came home after having dinner at a friends place and while socializing my anxiety kicked in and I blushed and started perspiring again. Went home dejected, fired up my P.C and decided, my time's better spent learning Japanese then wallowing in self pity, but for some reason the app won't open. So opened KZfaq and this was in my recommendation. I will use this knowledge and better myself from this day onward. Thank You

@kadutho because being able to communicate under high stress situation is a important skill set that should have been taught when we were kids but unfortunately was not.
