Words of Wisdom: Dale Carnegie On Public Speaking
Dale Carnegie was a writer and speaker on topics that included self improvement, positive attitude, public speaking, among other things. Below are some of my favorite thoughts he shared on public speaking:
- Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident
- Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners
- Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said
- There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave
- Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience

The key to anything is preparation, and that certainly applies to public speaking. If you're prepared, you'll do just fine.
I also found that after preparation, the hardest part of public speaking is just getting started. Once you start, you tend to sail along just fine.
The most important part of speaking is to know your audience and target your talk to them. If you don't, there isn't much point in speaking in the first place.
