Begin When You’re Ready
A common mistake I see among less
polished speakers is beginning when they’re not quite ready. As a result, they
allow nerves to dictate the entirety of the speech.
Conversely, seasoned speakers begin when they’re set.
Use the walk on
stage as a way to compose yourself. Take a deep breath, claim your space, and
don’t be afraid to wait a moment before beginning. The benefits are twofold:
you’ll be starting from a place of empowerment, while conveying poise to the
audience. This instantly puts them at ease as well.
