Examples

Here’s a magic phrase for you anytime you’re speaking anytime you’re giving a book report a presentation of any sort.

It’s a magic phrase.

And here it is.

For example.

That’s it.

Now you have to then give an example.

But human beings are trying to learn.

They’re trying to listen to you and figure out what it is you’re talking about.

So anytime you can give an example you are better off.

I’ve never heard any audience I’ve never heard any teacher anyone in the world say I hated the way that last presenter gave so many interesting relevant examples.

I’ve never heard that and yet I often hear people say that Speaker was boring.

That was a data dump I didn’t learn anything from that it was just sort of the vague and fuzzy.

So use examples.

Anytime you want to make a point give a specific example.

So for example when I am telling people it’s important not to look nervous and uncomfortable I don’t just then go on to the next point when giving public speaking advice I say for example if you’re looking down the whole time and look like you’re guilty then people are going to assume that you’re nervous uncomfortable they’re going to maybe feel sympathy for you but they’re not going to focus on you.

If you’re holding your hands in front of you like you had to go to the bathroom that’s going to make you look nervous and uncomfortable.

Don’t do that don’t have your hands being held right in front of you.

Best thing to do is move your hand.

So I’m giving examples.

So think of examples For every one of your messages that you’ve written down because in a moment we’re going to start practicing our presentations.

Get ready come up with those examples for each one of your five main points.
