Essential Public Speaking skills

People often fear public speaking. One can be super intelligent and could be willing to share his/her great knowledge with others, but often fall into the trap because he/she lacks confidence. These people think that others will find some flaw in them when they speak.
I am writing this small blog to list some key points, using which anyone can become free of his/her fears and give great presentations and lectures. This will eventually boost confidence as well.

1. Plan appropriately for the content
2. Practice facing mirror
3. Think positively and visualize the perfect speech with a stand ovation by the audience.
4. Only speak when everyone is ready to listen.
5. Breathe Deeply before starting to stay calm
6. Look around and give smile to everyone
7. Introduce Yourself in the first place and speak your name loud and clear.
8. Engage with your audience.
9. Look confident by avoiding un-necessary moves but face in different directions of the hall periodically to cover entire audience. Pay attention to your body language.
10. Enjoy the content of speech in your heart, only then others can enjoy in the same manner.
11. In the end if you have, then Watch recordings of your previous speeches.
