Lie # 1:


Focus on a Spot at the
  Back of the Room
Lie: To avoid feeling nervous,
   stare at the wall at the
            back…

 and pretend the audience
       doesn’t exist.
Truth is, the quickest way to
  lose your audience is to
        ignore them.
Instead, make eye contact
with your audience members.

 This will help you create a
deeper connection with your
          audience.
Lie # 2:


Memorize Your
   Script
Lie: To avoid making
mistakes, memorize your
script and deliver it like a
           robot.
Truth is, if you are concentrating
on your script instead of focusing
       on your audience…

your audience is going to sense
             it…

…and they’re going to tune out of
         your speech.
Instead, know your main
points and your subject so
     well that you can

….talk comfortably without
 having to memorize your
          script.
Lie # 3


  Keep Your Hands
Straight by Your Side
Lie: Stand still, don’t move
around too much and keep
your hands firmly glued to
         your sides.
Truth is, your non-verbal
  communication is at as
essential as the words you
           speak.
Instead, let your hands move
              naturally.

Your hand gestures should help show
       what you are saying.

For example, if you are describing a
man in your story who is taller than
you, then use your hand gestures to
      indicate how tall he was!
