I once had to speak in front of a group of CEOs over age 50. I worried that they might say, “You're too young. You're not qualified to speak here.” And then I remembered what Richard Branson had taught me: “Picture you're talking to friends in the living room.”
有一次,我为一众50多岁的CEO做演讲。我曾担心他们可能会说,“你太年轻了,你没有资格在这演讲。”但我又想起了理查德·布兰森说过的话:“想象你和朋友在客厅聊天时的情景。”
I arrived at the venue early. I talked to audience members: “Hi, I'm Jonathan, it's good to meet you.” Once I was on stage, people no longer thought of me as a stranger. I was a friend.
我早早来到了会议地点,在台下和观众闲聊:“嗨,我是乔纳森,很高兴见到你们。”这样一来,当我站上讲台时,观众就不再把我当成陌生人看待,我已经成为他们的朋友了。
After the talk, people said, “Jonathan, I liked your talk. Can you be my public speaking coach?”
演讲结束后,他们都说:“乔纳森,我很喜欢你的演讲。你愿意当我的演讲教练吗?”
The takeaway: Picture yourself talking to friends in your living room, so you will be more relaxed and in control.
秘诀:想象自己正和朋友在客厅闲聊,会让你放轻松、把握好节奏。
How do any of us become confident speakers? Prepare, practice, perform.
