🎯 Speaking Techniques

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, weight balanced. Project confidence before you say a word.

Divide the room into thirds. Rotate eye contact between sections every 3-5 seconds.

Pause for 2-3 seconds after key points. Silence lets your message sink in and builds tension.

Vary your pace, pitch, and volume. Monotone kills engagement — be a roller coaster, not a highway.

Reference something from earlier in your talk. Creates a sense of cohesion and rewards attentive listeners.

"Raise your hand if…" Instant engagement. People who participate physically are more invested mentally.

Group ideas in threes. Three points, three examples, three words. It's how brains like to process information.

Move with purpose — step forward for emphasis, step back for reflection. Never pace aimlessly.
