| English for Diplomats can
support you and your staff mission when using English as the language of
communication
in speeches, presentations and the promotion of your country. We advise on all areas of public speaking, including:
- Researching
your topic – what to include, and what to avoid
- How to craft an
introduction to set the context to ensure the audience is ready to go
- The
logical organization of thoughts, facts, and statistics and how to remember
them
- The use of notes, or
scripts – to use key points or written texts
- The use of metaphors,
phrases and expressions to enhance and bring life to your speech
- How to
design a strong opening and an even
stronger close
- The use of appropriate
humour, story-telling and the importance of ‘timing’
- How to improve your
skills by learning to vary vocal pace, tone, and volume
- The use
of gestures to complement your words for added impact and
reinforcement
- The effective use of
space and movement on your speaking
platform
- The appropriate use of visual aids, whether images projected onto screens, or physical objects, to demonstrate, illustrate and
emphasize key points
- Analyze
your audience – deliver the message they want, or need, to hear
- How to
connect with the eyes of your listeners, not just their ears, and
how to establish a ‘personal’ relationship with each
member of your
audience
- The
use of questions in your speech to help your audience think deeply about key points and
concepts
- How to keep within time
limits – saying all you have and wish to say in the time allowed
- How to develop
and exhibit confidence,
poise and control
- How to practise, and receive constructive feedback, before the
event, to develop fluency and clarity of your message
