Truly great speeches all have one thing in common and it’s not that the speaker has perfect poise or a killer opening joke. Instead, a great speech starts with a public speaker who stays authentic and true to themselves. When someone is genuinely excited about a topic, audience members sense that and get excited, too. Except when is the last time you were totally ‘feeling yourself’ in front of a full audience? Most people aren’t comfortable with a room full of eyes on them, so you’re not alone.
