The 8 Qualities All Great Presenters Have by Peter Khoury

have a good knowledge in the field

Thank you Sir

In looking around to the established approach to public speaking, all I found was a series of rules:

•Good public speakers do eye contact like this

•Good public speakers don't fiddle as they're speaking

•Good public speakers don't show that you're nervous •

Good public speakers stand here

•Good public speakers say this sort of thing...

.Above all, those rules were shouting, "Don't be yourself, be someone else."

A great speaker needs:

1. Know-How Great speakers need to know what ancient wisdom and modern science have to say about the best practices in constructing and delivering talks that work. If they don't know this--the principles of rhetoric and oratory--they wander around in the dark trying to reinvent what was long ago invented.

2. Passion and Purpose A great speaker is driven to know his stuff and care about a particular topic. His passion will cause others to be convinced, not just because of his force of reasoning, but also because he is visibly enjoying the beliefs he wants his audience to accept.

3. Personality A personality is what makes a person distinct. We all get one at birth, and many of us lose ours when we set foot on a stage. It doesn't have to be a warm personality, although warmth is an attractive quality. It just needs to be real, determined, and accessible. Listeners crave intimacy with speakers.

4. Creativity A great speaker needs to create presentations and speeches. She needs to say plain things in interesting ways, and interesting things in plain ways. One can be a good speaker without creativity, but greatness comes from inventiveness, from cracking open a coconut with a feather and finding inside a little old man in a plastic chair sipping a piña colada.

Great speakers must also be able to:

5. Make Connections Listeners live on an island of their own interests. Great speakers build a bridge to that island: They can make the conflict in Ukraine rattle the dishes in your cupboard.

6. Speak Plainly Great speakers keep it simple. They use short sentences. They use everyday language to make complicated topics clear and understandable. They don't show off their expertise by using a specialized vocabulary. They use metaphors that appeal to all of us, such as, "On healthcare.gov, you can buy a Rolls Royce, a Chevrolet, or a jalopy policy, and they all cost more than they used to."

7. Not Be Afraid to Fail Like every other human being, great speakers walk forward on two legs: trial and error. There is no such thing as a perfect presentation. Every effort is a new experiment. Great speakers must be willing to fail their way to success. A speaker who is not willing to fail is not going to be great.

8. Not Be Afraid of Hard Work A great speaker will have the constitution of a horse. Laurence Olivier said this about actors. Life on the stage takes a lot out of you. You need high energy, low tension. Your adrenal glands will work overtime. You'll have to get up early, stay up late, and wake up in the middle of the night--to write, to get it right, to make it work for a different audience.

9. Not Take Things Personally Great speakers need rhino hides. You need to be tough. You've got to believe in yourself and your message, and even though your success depends on the opinions of others, you can't care too much about what people think of you. And by the way, the more popular you get, the more people dislike you. Look at the president. If 51 percent of the people like him, 49 percent don't.

10. Be Vulnerable There's nothing worse than an old workhorse of a speaker with rhino hide who loves to hear himself talk. It was Warren Harding's speechwriters who invented the word bloviate to describe the president's ability to talk much and say little. Vulnerability can help a speaker say a lot without talking much. It can make him more sensitive, real, and accessible, which are appealing traits, as long as he's not too wimpy. And I also think you should work on these "extras" to really shine: 11. An Expressive Voice The voice of a great speaker sparkles with change: changes of pitch, volume, and speed. A great speaker's voice is animatedly alpine: It goes up and down, it purrs and it roars. Since it's the only instrument in the orchestra, the voice of a great speaker is never monotonous. Its pitch, volume, and rhythm are always changing.

12. A Sense of Humor You don't have to tell jokes, but it's nice if you can come across as having a sense of warmth and ease. When asked what are the most important elements of any speech, Kennedy's speechwriter, Ted Sorenson, said, "Brevity, levity, and charity." I don't think he put them in rank order, but if you can make people laugh, you have an unfair advantage over speakers who can't.

13. A Decent Wardrobe Men first. I am not a big fan of men's pants that are wrinkled in the front. And men, unless you're built like a whippet, you look better in a jacket. You don't need a tie all the time, but a couple of really nice-fitting standard-issue suits in gray and blue will do the trick. You should be able to button your jacket and wave your arms around without busting your buttons. Leaders of large companies and large Western nations tend to wear black shoes with their conservative suits and ties. In certain regions, brown shoes are permissible. As for women, formal business attire is a business suit or pants suit, or dress and jacket. Business casual is a shirt with a collar and/or a sweater, khakis or dress pants, and nice shoes. Watch the height of the heel.

14. Stories to Tell And yes, you should tell stories--to demonstrate who you are, and to illustrate your points. They should be your own stories, not borrowed from another source. Your own stories have a sterling ring of truth.

Good speaking requires being a good sociability, a fair degree of negotiation, Interaction, a good amount of repertoire of eloquence. It also requires a strong charisma and influence through eye contact and facial expressions. Thanks for sharing your question dear.

Rhetorics can be learned; it was one of the cornerstones of the septem artem liberales, the Greek and Roman (Latin) education for free human beings. Being highly motivated and a master of the topic (out of memory) is an existential must, but to get the message over to people is a psychological task. A good speaker can reach the brains of the audience, hit into their hearts the very sensitive needle points of the problem, and activate the hands of the participants for future involvement (head-heart-hands). I guess that some prophetic qualities, in the Biblical sense, are vital to become a good speaker, but would clearly distinguish these competencies from propaganda (public relations) or marketing. The development of the rhetorical faculty comes with a high political risk, i.e. it is wise to focus on practical solutions and to limit ideology to point zero.

Many important points are communicated by some of the previous answer writers, but the most important thing they perhaps missed. As per my idea, a good speaker must be a good learner, both of his topic, his subject, related subjects, non-related subjects, stories, jokes as well as in social interactions. I know many so called 'good speaker' whose lectures are boring.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"7 Skills of Every Good Speaker

.....

The 7 skills make the acronym C.R.I.S.P.E.R:

Let’s very briefly look at each one in turn:

Clear – if you’re even slightly vague in your own mind about your core message, or you don’t deliver your message in a logical order, with clear transitions from one point to the next – your audience willbe confused. It does take time to work all this through, but it’s really important. Content is usually the reason why you and your audience are in the same room, and thinking it through well enough beforehand makes all the difference to your reception as a speaker.

Relevant – you need to know your audience, in as much detail as possible. Audiences are sophisticated, and don’t appreciate generalities. Tailor what you’re going to say by doing as much research you need to beforehand.

Insightful – dictionary.reference.com defines the word ‘insightful’ as “the ability to perceive clearly or deeply; penetration”.      And Scott Berkun in his great book Confessions of a Public Speaker (O’Reilly 2010) goes so far as to say this: “The problem with most bad presentations I see is not the speaking, the slides, the visuals, or any of the things people obsess about. Instead, it’s the lack of thinking.” (p.56) Harsh words, but I would  agree.

Succinct – when you’re listening to a speaker, no matter how interesting, isn’t it true that when they say the magic words “to sum up” or “finally”, you perk up? It just seems to be human nature, and one of the best ways to respect your audience is to be as brief as possible!

Practice – this is absolutely crucial. And it must be done out loud, at least part of the time. Yes, this is tedious, and most people don’t do it, which is why it’s a characteristic of good speakers.

Energy – your audience follows your cue: every group who doesn’t know you will be cool to start with, we’re all metaphorically taking a step back and assessing, in the early moments of hearing a new speaker. But if you show some energy, some life-force, the audience will follow you. You need to set the tone. You can also gain energy from your audience (a topic for another day!).

Respect – every member of your audience wants to feel respected by you as the speaker (don’t you, when you’re in a group?) And this applies even more as a speaker if an audience member is rude or difficult. No matter how much you want to retaliate, remember that an audience will feel “as one” to some extent, and if you get tetchy with one person, they will potentially all be offended. So even if someone hits your hottest button, continue to be pleasant. That way, you’ll gain the respect of the group, and potentially avoid  crashing in flames, too!"

Dear Elangbam,

Many experts have already provided valuable information on the topic. Those are really helpful to understand the subject. I feel, it can not be shaped in a common format. Besides the points already mentioned, some sorts of inventiveness are required in presentation of a scientific topic - It varies from person to person; mainly depends on individual thoughts on the way of presentation so that the subject becomes understandable and also enjoyable to the scientific audience.

Two main requirements - In depth knowledge on the contents of presentation, and good communication skill. People like to listen a scientific topic than reading. So talk with audience not to see or read PPT (PPT - simply a visual aid) only. A scientific presentation is a scientific story that covers introduction, methods, findings and conclusions. So, a well preparation is required to make the story convincing (with logic and evidence) to the audience. The presentation should not be casual and extemporaneous; an unprepared, slapdash talk is a waste of both the speaker's and audience's time.

Best wishes

I think good speakers speak clearly, coherently, and confidently. Listeners understand what a good speaker says. A good speaker's discourse is marked by excellent grammar and style, and their thoughts flow together into logically valid and sound arguments. And a good speaker exudes the conviction that what they're saying is true.

Good question Chitra , one of the way to connect with an audience is to tell your story or incidents ...

Personalizing some aspects of the presentation is good way of keeping them interested .

Make it interactive (case dependent) and maintain eye contact ...

Hi,

A good speaker must have the following items:

Courgeous person, able to learn from mistakes, Good planification of tasks, Passion, Power of personality, Power of creativity and synthesis. Good and clear expression, Interactivity, Funny, used texts must be short and rich, Skills in computer sciences, Know what we expect from the speaker.

Best regards!

Thank you so much Dr Asit Kumar Batabyal for adding the important concept of way of presentation according to the topic.

Also, I learn things needed to be avoided: reading/writing notes in PPT, casual, extemporaneous, unprepared and slapdash talk. Thank you again for sharing the important ideas.

With best regards

i have been delivering lectures in front of big numbers ( 100 or more) for the last 10 years or so.

i consider myself as an average speaker but still one motto suits me and practically suits for everyone's life too.

The moment you start thinking about "what others would say" you end up digging holes for yourself.

So just deliver your talk in a canny,confident and charismatic way (the way you speak to everyone else) and remember it takes time to achieve perfection So "Patience" my dear friend !!!!

Cheers :)

Good speakers have strong messages about their product, service, or brand. Great speakers are thought leaders who teach their audiences something about the industry, often things they didn't know. These leaders read a lot of books, white papers, studies, and really think hard about the broader questions facing their respective businesses. See yourself as an educator and teach your audience something new.
