Step 11 in Becoming a Better Public Speaker

Steal from the Greats
You can learn a ton from great orators. The idea isn’t to imitate their techniques but to incorporate the tools they use that may work for you. The next step is to make it your own.
Some speakers use humor, while others have mastered the art of incorporating stories. I’ve seen some of my favorites emphasize certain words or phrases to really drive a point home. Others only move on stage when they have a transitional thought.
But what all great speakers do is deliver from a place of honesty. They really believe in what they’re saying.
Passion is just as contagious as indifference. Audiences know when they’re being duped.

Authenticity is key.
