公共演讲建议 - George Stern
12 public speaking secrets - Crush your next speech or presentation
- Start Still 稍作停息:等待房间安静下来再开始
- Walk out, plant your feet, pause for two seconds, then speak
- Let the room settle before you begin
- Hook Not Bio 引入正题:用提问/故事代替客套
- No polite warm-up, bio, or “I’m excited to be here”
- Replace with a relevant question, bold claim, or short story
- Group in Threes 事分三点:三个要点刚好,不多不少
- Break points into 3, easy to follow and remember
- “Three things you’ll learn today…” is magic
- Short Stories 精减逻辑:背景-冲突-结局,删减无关内容
- Keep stories under 90 seconds
- Setting, conflict, payoff and then cut the rest
- Edit Actively 主动语态:讲述时明确使用主动行为
- Replace passive voice and vague verbs (AI can help!)
- “It was launched” becomes “We launched it”
- Speak to One Person 眼神聚焦:每讲一点眼神对着一个人,不要游走
- Hold eye contact with one person per thought
- Then shift to another in a different area, don’t scan constantly
- Mark Your Pauses 静止=强调:提前标记要点,停顿突出
- Add slashes (/) in your script where you want to pause
- Use silence to emphasize, not just fill the space
- Move on Transitions 移动=转换:切换话题时移动身体
- Step or gesture when changing topics, not mid-point
- Stillness = power, movement = shift
- Put Audience First 换位思考:听众能得到什么
- Cut “I want to talk about…”
- Replace with “You’ll walk away with…”
- Rehearse Out Loud 大声练习:录像检查停顿口癖、姿态动作
- Practice standing, with gestures and voice at full volume
- Record yourself and watch for filler words, pacing, and fidgeting
- Memorize the Bookends 牢记开场和收尾,其余靠提词?
- Know your first and last 3 lines cold
- Everything else can be spoken from notes
- Circle Back 首尾呼应:演讲最后回到开场的引子
- Echo your opening idea or line at the end
- It gives the audience closure and recall
