Topic: The art of public speaking
Imagine you just found out you have to give a 10 minute speech in front of three hundred people next week. For most of us, this news would bring a giant wave of panic. Not to worry! Check out our guide, "The Art of Public Speaking" for tips on how to give a great speech! Before you even hit the stage, put in the necessary prep work. Your speech should be organized (an intro, main points, and a summary) and rehearsed in front of friends and family. Lastly, see if it's possible to see and familiarize yourself with the stage or space the day before. It would also be ideal to test out any technical equipment beforehand. Now get out there and give a great speech!
