WellCast’s “Triple-P Method”
Are you lacking confidence when even thinking about public speaking?
Never fear, the WellCast Triple-P Method is here!
WellCast published this video in 2012 to help you “Be a More Confident Public Speaker” and accompanied the video with this worksheet to help you out with your speaking points and extras to include in your speech. The following is a summary of their video.
The “Triple-P Method” to Being a More Confident Public Speaker:
- Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
- It is important to know your subject backwards and forwards
- You also need to know exactly how you’re going to present it
- Posture and Physicality are key. Here are some tips for that:
- Avoid large meals and dairy products before your speech
- Bring a water bottle up with you, and don’t be afraid to take sips occasionally!
- Stand naturally—it’ll help you look cool, calm, and collected, and it will help you breathe better
- Pander to your audience
- Don’t be completely serious (unless the occasion calls for it)
- Avoid reading entirely off notecards (or you could lose your audience)
- Throw a joke or two in!
- Did the joke just bring silence? Turn the silence into a joke!
