12. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Planning Your Talk
• Do decide what the purpose of your talk really is. What is the
"take-home" message you want to give your audience?
Organize your talk accordingly, focusing sharply on your
intended message.
• Do prepare a talk that will fit within the time limit you're
given. That includes allowing time for questions from the
audience. Rehearse with a stopwatch if necessary.

13. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Planning Your Talk
• Don't forget that studies show an audience can remember only
three or four things you present in a talk.
• Don't distract from your message by including peripheral
topics or excessive arcane detail.
• Don't forget that any lecture is a performance: you
must work to get your message across.

14. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Some Basics
• Do show some enthusiasm and energy. If you're not excited about
your topic, why should the audience be?
• Do face your audience. If you need to see your slides, then look
either at the overhead projector in front of you or at the screen on
the computer running your presentation. It's not only rude to
turn your back on your audience, but it also means you're
speaking into the screen or the wall and making it hard for them
to hear you.
• Do speak loudly enough to be heard by the entire audience, even
those in the back row.

15. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Some Basics
• Don't keep jumping back and forth through your slides.
Either reorganize your talk to avoid this or duplicate the
needed slide in the second place where it fits.
• Don't start to change a slide, then stop halfway. Either change
it or leave it.
• Don't fidget nervously in front of your audience. Make your
movements and gestures purposeful.
• Don't stick your hands in your pockets, hook your thumbs
under your belt, or engage in other creative diversions.

16. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Words, Phrases, etc.
• Do clearly define any terms that may not be familiar to
your audience. Remember, they're probably not all
from the same specialty as you!
• Do keep acronyms to an absolute minimum. They're
like speed bumps to listeners unfamiliar with them.

17. The Do’s and Don’ts in Public Speaking
Words, Phrases, etc.
• Don't start sentences with "So."
• Don't end sentences with "right?" or "OK?"
• Don't apologetically introduce a topic with "Just real
quick," "Briefly," or similar words. What that tells your
audience is that "this isn't really important or relevant,
but I'm going to inflict it on you anyway."
