[Music]
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you to all my friends who continue to faithfully watch the Presenta Edu channel. Today, we will discuss public speaking.
[Music]
Why is public speaking important? No matter who we are, no matter our profession, sooner or later we will be exposed to public speaking. If you are a student, there are certain assignments, presentations, and reports where you must speak and convey information in a public speaking setting. If you are a teacher or a lecturer, then of course, a lecturer needs to teach their students, occasionally give seminars, or participate in events where we must engage in public speaking. If you are a professional in an office, you must present to your superiors. Do you have to convey something to clients? Representing the organization where you work, you need public speaking. And if you are a member of society, in daily life we need to give greetings at family events, religious gatherings, or events in our neighborhood. We must convey certain materials. So, it turns out public speaking is everywhere. Whatever our profession, sooner or later we will need to engage in public speaking. Whether we are ready or not, afraid or brave, we still have to deliver that public speaking.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Muhammad Noer, the founder of Presenta. In the past, I was just like all of you. I was most afraid, most uncomfortable when it came to public speaking. If I could, I would want to hide, to disappear so as not to appear, so as not to speak in public. But slowly, I started to learn. Oh, so this is how it's done. This is how you speak. This is how you present. And I tried to practice it little by little. Alhamdulillah, now I've started to enjoy public speaking activities. I enjoy it, and it has helped me in many ways, including in my work and in my daily life.
So, what is the process for us to transform from being afraid to becoming braver? Now, we will try to learn what public speaking is and how to master it. So, for those of you who were afraid, hopefully, after this, you won't be afraid of public speaking anymore. For those who feel they lack public speaking skills, after watching this video, hopefully, you will understand. Oh, so that's how you deliver a good public speech.
Public speaking, if we look at the words, means speaking in front of the public. If I speak with my friend here, I'm chatting, chatting with one person, this is not public speaking. But if I speak in front of, whether it's five people, a hundred people, ten people, this is public speaking. So, public speaking is very broad, starting from a small audience. I speak in front of meeting participants in a meeting, there are five participants, that's public speaking. I want to give a speech at an event, there are 30 people present, that's public speaking. I deliver material in class, there are 40 participants, that's public speaking. I speak at a seminar, there are 100 people attending, that's public speaking. I speak on television in front of millions of people, that is also public speaking. So, public speaking is very wide, very wide. The range, the forms, all relate to how we speak clearly and convincingly to many people.
[Music]
As we discussed at the beginning, many people feel afraid when they have to deliver public speaking. So, the question is, why are we afraid of public speaking? What makes many people feel worried, nervous, thinking, "Oh, this is a nightmare if I have to speak in public." If we try to explore it further, there are several reasons why we are afraid of public speaking.
The first is that we worry about other people's judgment of ourselves. So, when I have to do public speaking, others will see how I speak, my choice of words, so I'm afraid of being judged. If I don't speak, they can't judge me. But because I speak, I'm afraid of being judged. That's the first reason.
The second reason we are afraid of public speaking is because we are afraid of failure. When I speak, I might forget what I want to say. I intended to go in one direction but ended up going in another, so I fail in my speech. We are afraid of failure.
The third is that we are afraid of being rejected by others. I speak publicly to convince people, but they are not convinced. I speak publicly so they will buy the product I offer, but they don't buy it. We are afraid of social rejection from others. Or we can also be afraid because we feel we lack experience. All this time, I haven't spoken, I rarely speak, but if I have to perform, I don't have enough experience to speak. It's also possible that we are afraid of public speaking because we feel we lack skills. We've never specifically practiced how to open a public speech, how to speak coherently and orderly, how to close it, how to engage with the audience. Because we've never learned, we become afraid.
Whatever the reason for your fear, it is certainly very human and very understandable. Many people have such fears. I personally, as I mentioned earlier, had that fear. If I may share a little, when I was young, in elementary school, or maybe still in kindergarten, I was most afraid to perform. I was most afraid when there was a moment where I had to speak in public. For example, in class, there was an art lesson, singing, and I had to stand in front of the class to sing. I was very scared. Or maybe there was an Indonesian lesson, and I had to recite a poem. The poem just needed to be read, but because I had to stand and be seen by others, that also caused fear. So, frankly, back then, this was something I tried to avoid, something I was very, very afraid of.
Starting from junior high school to high school, I was still not brave enough for public speaking. But there, I started to be active in organizations, joined school organizations, started to get involved with many friends. What happened? Little by little, I was exposed to having to speak, having to talk, having to give opinions, having to ask questions, having to convey something. I still clearly remember when I was in junior high and high school, one way I used to become brave to speak was by asking questions. So, if I was in class, during a lesson, I would dare to ask the teacher about the lesson. When I asked a question, what happened? Of course, everyone would look at me. And people would see, "Who is asking this question?" So, I had to deliver my question. I practiced speaking that way. If I attended seminars or religious gatherings, I would also dare to ask questions. That was the initial step when I first learned public speaking.
Then I moved to college. In college, I became more active in organizations, and this was the time when I started to become braver to speak, calmer, more confident, but my speech was still not very polished. There were still many things I didn't know specifically about public speaking. But because I spoke more often, I became braver. So, indeed, one way to overcome fear is by doing it. So, do it little by little, and eventually, you will overcome it.
Until finally, I started working. I often presented at work. I used to have to speak in public, had to convince others. So, there, I learned more seriously about what public speaking is, what presentations are. And finally, now I enjoy the process of speaking, I enjoy public speaking. Although personally, I am the type of person who doesn't like to talk too much in general social interactions. I prefer to be alone, prefer not to chat much. But when asked to do public speaking, to present a certain topic, I will perform, I will step forward and share what I can share with others.
So, from that experience, there are a few tips I want to share with all of you. How can we, who were previously afraid of public speaking, get rid of this fear? What is the way? So, here's the first tip. So, the first thing that bothers someone most in public speaking is the mindset. We must change our mindset that the audience wants us to fail, wants us to not succeed, will laugh if I speak poorly. No, not at all. So, the audience actually wants you to succeed. The question is, why do they want us to succeed? Because when the audience is present, comes to watch us speak, they have already spent their time, they have already spent their energy listening to us, they have given their attention. So, they definitely want us to succeed. What often happens is we imagine the audience wants me to fail, wants me to make mistakes when I speak. This is what we need to change. So, change your mindset that they want you to succeed. Therefore, before you perform in public speaking, whatever the occasion, imagine, imagine good things, imagine positive things, because what is good, what is positive, will eventually become a reality.
The second is, even if you make a small mistake during public speaking, it's okay. It's perfectly fine. No one speaks perfectly from beginning to end. It's very difficult. So, if you make a small speaking mistake, if a word is wrong, it's okay, friends. Don't exaggerate small mistakes. So, through mistakes, we will learn, we will try to improve ourselves.
And if you feel a little nervous, a little nervousness is actually good for public speaking. Why? Because if I speak too confidently, overconfident, the danger is that I become indifferent to the audience. I feel I already have all the material, so what happens is I am unable or unable to give my best. So, if I still have a little nervousness, you still have a little nervousness, let's use it to deliver the best for our audience, for our listeners.
Then, to overcome that fear in public speaking, we have many worries, various kinds. So, there is no other way than, of course, preparation. So, if we see someone who speaks well like that, believe me, they usually have prepared beforehand. They have made thorough preparations, and we will discuss what preparations need to be made.
In addition to preparation, there is practice. So, if I have prepared something, I practice it. If you are going to face an important presentation, have to speak in public in an important forum, before the D-day, practice first. Rehearse first. What is the purpose? So that we practice. Oh, this sentence is appropriate. This sentence is not quite right. So, we can adjust it to the situation we are facing. And then, on the D-day, when you are going to do public speaking, try to be more relaxed. How? Breathe longer, deeper, so that we are calmer, so that we are more relaxed. Move your body comfortably. And don't forget, try to arrive earlier. This is important because if we arrive too late, as someone new, we don't know the place, we don't know the atmosphere. This will add an extra burden besides public speaking itself. But if we arrive earlier, we can check the room, we can see where I will stand, where I will speak. So, in that way, you will be more prepared for public speaking.
So, those are a few things to try to overcome fear, starting from changing our mindset, imagining positive things. Even if there is a little fear, if something goes wrong, it's okay. Enjoy it. Prepare thoroughly and try to practice repeatedly.
[Music]
Now, we enter the next part of public speaking, which is the preparation stage. How do we prepare so that you can deliver good public speaking on every occasion? The first preparation is to understand your audience. It's impossible for a public speaker to be asked to speak without knowing who they are speaking to. So, the first step is to know your audience. Try to find out who I am asked to speak in front of. Is it in front of students? Is it in front of my friends? Is it in front of employees of a company? Or is it community members in my neighborhood? Try to know your audience. By knowing your audience, we try to feel what they are thinking, what they are feeling, and what they expect from the public speaking you will deliver. So, the first step in preparation is to know your audience.
Then, the second is to set your goals. So, if I speak without direction, without a goal, I might just keep talking. But the problem is, I don't know where this talk is leading. So, we must have a clear goal. What is the goal you want to achieve from public speaking? What action do you expect your audience to take? Do you expect them to implement the proposal you convey after this? Do you expect that after I speak, this proposal will be accepted? Will they buy the product I offer after I speak? So, think clearly about your goals. Think clearly about your goals before delivering public speaking.
Next, in the preparation stage, we need to organize, organize the order of speaking, organize the speaking framework. Simply put, speaking has a front part, an opening part, a middle part, the content, and a last part, the closing. The opening part, as usual, at the beginning, we often greet, say greetings. And the most important thing about the opening part is to clearly state your purpose and objective. So, if you successfully state your purpose and objective clearly at the beginning, that will be a good opening. Just like I opened this video with a certain sentence. I said, "Have you ever felt your heart beat faster, your hands tremble, your mouth become dry?" This is an example of an opening sentence. I try to relate to my audience so that they connect with the topic. And I stated the objective: today, I will discuss a video to help you all overcome the fear of speaking and become braver speakers. That was the objective. State your speaking objective in the opening.
Then, in the middle, the content part. This is where the details of everything you want to convey are. Here, you need to have a certain approach, a certain flow. I want to give advice. You can choose four approaches for the content of a presentation, a public speaking. The first is the problem-solution approach. What does that mean? We structure our speech based on a specific problem for which we will then provide a solution. So, if the topic you are delivering is something that is a problem currently faced by the audience, and by chance, you have the answer, a way to solve it, this is the best way to use the problem-solution approach. The audience will want to know, "Oh, from this problem, what will be the answer?"
The second approach is the before-after approach. What is before-after? Before-after is the condition before and the condition after. So, we compare two states. The condition last year and the condition this year. Last month and this month. This year and next year. Comparing these two states will show a difference. There is something that has changed. This approach is useful if we are showing differences in historical time or comparing two very contrasting things. We can use the before-after approach.
The third is the then-now-how approach. In brief, this is very similar to before-after. Then is similar to before, now is similar to after. The difference is the "how." This then-now-how approach is good if I have done something successfully and want to invite others to follow the method. So, I will explain first, "I had a problem like you are experiencing, but now this problem has been resolved, I have solved it, and here's how." This is an approach in our speaking.
And finally, if you are having trouble, I don't know what problem to discuss, I'm confused about differentiating the past and present conditions, or how. Well, think about the points of your speech. Point one, what will I talk about? Point two, what? Point three, what? So, this also becomes a structure in the content part of your public speaking. Why is it important to structure the content? Because with structured content, your speech has a storyline. The audience will not easily understand if there is no structure. So, try to use one of these structures that fits your topic. If, for example, you get an opportunity for spontaneous public speaking, you are not very prepared, you don't have thorough preparation beforehand, you are put on the spot and have to speak in the next 10 minutes, then think, "Do I know the problem and can I provide a solution? Or can I just use points?" So, please choose which one is most appropriate.
And finally, the closing part. So, after the opening and content, we close. The closing part is where the conclusion lies. So, deliver a conclusion. We also give an invitation to our audience. What do we expect from them? And you can then close with a good closing statement. So, in this way, we have a good framework. So, prepare the framework, the opening, the content, the closing. If you are doing public speaking to speak in front of the public, we can scribble on paper. If you have to present, then we also need to prepare slides.
After preparing the speaking framework, we wait for the D-day. When will we perform? We have to present, we have to do public speaking. Before performing, I highly, highly, highly recommend doing what? Practicing. So, what is practice like? It's simple. We have prepared the speaking structure, the framework. Try to practice speaking. So, if you are given half an hour to speak, try to practice. If the time is 15 minutes, try to practice. What is the purpose? First, so that we know if our material flows from beginning to end. That's the first thing. Second, we also know the time. How long will I speak? Is my material finished too quickly or too long? So, if it's too fast, we can add more. If it's too long, we can cut parts. So, never find out that it's too long on the D-day. Try to practice first. Rehearse first. You can practice in the bathroom while showering, maybe while talking. Some people like that. Or while traveling to the office, to work, we can try to speak in our minds or out loud. Or you can face a mirror at home and try to practice speaking with energy. Or we can call our friends to listen and watch while they give feedback, suggestions. So, this is very important to rehearse because with rehearsal, we will have tested the material we have made, so on the D-day, it will be quite mature.
And finally, don't forget in this preparation stage, friends, we must pray. So, pray to Allah, pray to God Almighty, that we are helped. Because no one helps us to speak clearly, think calmly, arrange words precisely, except God helps us to speak like that. Personally, on every occasion, if I want to give training, share, perform for public speaking, I always pray, sometimes in my heart. "Oh God, make it easy for me to speak well, fluently, in a way that will benefit those who will be present." So, praying will give us strength, give us peace, and connect us with the Creator.
These are the preparation stages: Know your audience, determine your goal, organize a good speaking framework, practice, and pray.
[Music]
Now, the time has come. After we have prepared, the D-day arrives. On this D-day, you have to perform. You have to speak at a seminar. You have to deliver training. You are asked to give a speech. You are asked to present material. How do we master public speaking techniques when the D-day arrives?
First, ensure your voice when you speak is loud, clear, and energetic. Why? Remember, public speaking, we are speaking to the public, speaking to many people. I am not chatting with my friend next to me. No. But I am speaking to many people. So, this voice must be projected louder, more powerfully, more energetically to show a more powerful voice. I am speaking to many people. So, a common mistake, especially for beginners in public speaking, is speaking like chatting with a friend. "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I will present on this topic, this, this, this." It's like talking to myself. Or even if I speak to someone else, someone next to me who is close. But in public speaking, we must speak to many people. "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Muhammad Noer. Today, I will explain how we can build a good learning organization." This voice is projected energetically, convincingly, firmly.
Also, ensure you pronounce certain words well. What are certain words? Keywords in the topic you are discussing. For example, I said, "How do we build a learning organization? How can we handle high inflation? How can this nation become advanced and equal to developed nations?" So, on the main keywords, on the main key words, give emphasis, set a good tempo. People who are just learning public speaking usually tend to speak too fast. We rush when speaking. What is the consequence? The voice we produce becomes unclear, indistinct. People have difficulty understanding. "What is this person saying? They can't catch the words." So, for the words to be caught, you must regulate the tempo so as not to speak too fast. Try to pause a little so that the tempo is more regular, more rhythmic. Later, when we are more advanced, when we are more used to speaking, we can combine these tempos. Sometimes we speak faster, sometimes we speak slower. If we want to give energy, enthusiasm, we speak fast. "Ladies and gentlemen, if we do this, this organization will succeed." I speak fast, with power. If I want to make the audience reflect, I speak slower. "Ladies and gentlemen, let us reflect on our current situation. And if there is no change, we will continue like this." I speak slower because I want people to reflect more. We can vary the tempo. If you can't do that yet, at least don't speak too fast.
Then, regarding speaking, we must display good body language. Maybe some will ask, "Why body language? What's the importance? This is public speaking, it's about speaking, about talking." It's true that we are speaking, but don't forget, when we speak, it's not just our mouth, not just the voice we utter, the words we choose that are heard by others. Everything that appears on our body, from our face, our hands, our body, it all speaks, communicates with others. So, it's important for a public speaker to display good body language.
So, what is good body language? First, if you are standing, try to stand comfortably, calmly, firmly, steadily. So, speaking relaxedly and comfortably helps us to control what we are talking about. Second, avoid negative body language. What is most common, especially for beginners, is that when we speak, we clasp our hands like this. Never let this happen. This is negative body language. Or sometimes our hands are behind us, or our hands are in our pockets. This must be avoided. Why is this negative body language? It shows that I am not confident, I am closed, I am not open to my audience. For all of you, when you speak, place your hands at your sides, let them be relaxed. Occasionally use your hands well, naturally. Gradually, you will find the right moment to display gestures. If we want to show numbers, show them. First, second, there are three things I want to convey. This is the initial stage, the middle, the end. We were here, now we will go up here. This is an example of body language. We give energy, enthusiasm, and body language also speaks to the audience.
Besides body language, a public speaker must maintain good eye contact with the audience. I am speaking to you now. I am making eye contact. How do I make eye contact? I look at the camera because I am in a video. Later, when you speak, you are in a room, there are audiences on the right, in the middle, on the left. So, divide your attention equally. So, occasionally I will look to the right, I will speak, one, two, three. I will move to look at the center again, one, two, three. I will move here again, and so on. Each time I move, I can look at a different person. I make eye contact. Why is eye contact important? Because with eye contact, it means I am paying attention to the audience. As a result, they feel noticed and will give attention back to the speaker. So, never, when you speak, look upwards, to the ceiling. I am talking to myself. Or maybe look downwards. This is not allowed. So, look at your audience. Indeed, some people worry, "Oh, I can't make eye contact. I'll get more nervous." If that happens, then for those of you, especially those who are just learning, if you are afraid to look directly into the eyes, you can look in between two people. Or there are also some tips that say to look at their forehead. It's okay, you can do that until you start to be brave enough to maintain eye contact with the audience. Because eye contact is one of the characteristics of a strong speaker, a powerful speaker who can connect with the audience.
And don't forget, when you speak, try to smile, try to relax your face. Sometimes, what makes us tense is because our expressions are tense. Our faces are not friendly, not comfortable. As a result, the topic we are delivering feels unpleasant. The topic becomes an unpleasant topic, a topic that is not close to the audience. Try to train yourself to be more relaxed, to be able to smile. Why is smiling important? Because when we have a good, friendly expression, the audience will reciprocate, and it will provide comfort for the speaker.
[Music]
After discussing speaking techniques, now we will discuss how to connect with the audience as a public speaker. At the beginning, during preparation, we learned to understand the audience. So, try to understand your audience. Who are they? What are their positions? What do they expect? From there, we will start to know. "Oh, in that case, it's better to use these examples. Oh, it's better to use this story. It's better to use these points that are important for them to know." By understanding the audience as best as possible, we can provide more relevant examples, more appropriate stories, and suitable illustrations for our audience. And this creates a connection between whom? Between the speaker and the audience. And also, what is most important regarding connection with the audience is that we speak with sincerity. So, what does sincerity mean? I speak from my heart, that I truly want to share, I want to share something, I want others to understand what I know. I want to share valuable knowledge that I have utilized. I want others to get the same benefit. By having good intentions, sincere intentions, it will automatically radiate. It will radiate from our eyes, radiate from our facial expressions, our gestures, our voice pressure, everything will radiate. So, friends, to connect with the audience, you don't need to use very complicated things, think of advanced words, how to phrase them. Yes, of course, that can be an addition. But the most important step is by having the sincerity to speak, to share, that this is something important, that I feel is valuable, I want to share it with others. Then others will also feel the same energy that you possess.
[Music]
After you have learned about speaking techniques and also connecting with the audience, now it's time to try to overcome various mistakes that sometimes happen. Even though we have prepared, we have tried to speak well, use good expressions, connect with the audience, public speaking is still not free from mistakes. So, there are many mistakes that can happen. The most common, the first is mistakes when we speak. So, it's possible that I say words incorrectly. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, now we will discuss that this target will be worked on for the next month." Then I realize, "Oh, it's not a month, but for a year." I made a mistake there. What do we do if we make a mistake? If you, immediately after speaking, remember, "Oh, I made a mistake there," we can immediately correct it. So, don't worry, don't let it make you dizzy, make you scared. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I didn't mean a month, but the target will be implemented within a year." I corrected it immediately. It's possible that we don't realize we made a speaking mistake. I meant a year, but I said a month. Suddenly, an audience member interjects, "Sir, excuse me, wasn't it not a month? Perhaps a year was meant?" When we hear from the audience, we realize, "Oh, that's right, I think I made a mistake there." Even if we forget whether I said a year or a month, we catch that point. "Thank you, madam, for that point. Regarding this target, if I said something that was perhaps incorrect, I apologize. It is for a year." So, never hesitate to correct those small mistakes that will happen once or twice in public speaking. So, don't be too afraid of it. If you are corrected by someone else, say thank you and convey the correction of the mistake you just mentioned.
Sometimes mistakes can happen technically. There are times, for example, when I am speaking, I am holding a pen, the pen falls. Then I wonder, should I pick it up, or should I leave it? On the other hand, people might be watching. If that happens, stay calm. Then decide whether it needs to be picked up or not. If it needs to be picked up, say casually, "Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me, my pen fell. I'll pick it up first. Okay, now we will continue." So, don't let those small things become distractions. In public speaking, it is very possible for mistakes to occur. Whether it's mistakes in our words, our pronunciation, the structure we discuss, or technical factors, something falls, the screen display of the slides is not right, and so on. So, stay calm, stay relaxed, and slowly correct those mistakes.
Sometimes, what happens is not a mistake, but throughout the speech, suddenly we feel more nervous. Our hands, which were fine, now tremble, sweat. Our chest, which was relaxed, now beats faster. If that happens in the middle of your public speaking, try to stay calm. Slowly, take a longer breath while still speaking. What is the purpose of this? We want to try to regulate the tempo so that what was previously rushed, breathless, now starts to stabilize. This is especially useful if we speak for a longer period. So, try to do that. Take a deep breath, exhale, while slowly speaking. This will help overcome the nervousness we have. Perhaps the nervousness won't disappear completely. It will still be there. But now we are calmer, we are more relaxed, we can make peace with that fear.
[Music]
In public speaking, it is not uncommon for us to also face questions and have to answer questions from the audience. How will you face questions from the audience if your public speaking includes a Q&A session? So, the first step when asked is to get used to listening to the question carefully. So, if there is a question, "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, who has a question?" Then I listen, I hear, I try to pay attention, I try to focus. "What is being asked?" Sometimes, people are too busy thinking about the answer even though the audience is just starting to ask. So, make sure you fully grasp what is being asked. What answer is the question seeking? That's what we need to explore first.
Then, after that, if we have listened carefully, in many cases, you will be able to answer well. We have the answer. We have studied this topic before. We understand this issue before. So, answer what you know, what you understand from the question. There are times when we don't know the answer. The question is more difficult, or what is asked is beyond our ability to answer. If you face such a situation, don't worry. A public speaker is not someone who has to know everything. We are not someone who has to be able to answer everything. So, even if we don't know, there's no harm in admitting that, "Yes, I don't know," of course, in a more elegant way. We can say, "Thank you, sir, for the question. This point, frankly, I haven't prepared an answer for it. I don't have the answer today. If you don't mind, let's keep this for now. Later, if I try to look for further references and if I have the answer, I will get back to you to convey my thoughts on it." This is an example of openly admitting I don't know the answer. But if you are willing, give me time, I will try to look for further references. If I find the answer, I will try to explain it later. So, if we promise like that, then of course, fulfill your promise. We can do it that way. So, never worry if there is a difficult question, a question we cannot answer. We can acknowledge it, appreciate the questioner, keep it, and if we have an answer someday, we will answer it.
[Music]
Alright friends, we have talked a lot about public speaking, starting from preparation, when we are speaking, responding to questions, and so on. So, in this final part, I will summarize some important points for all of you regarding public speaking.
First, remember that public speaking is important. We already know that no matter our profession, sooner or later we will be exposed to public speaking. Whether we like it or not, whether we are brave or not brave. Therefore, start learning public speaking.
Second, in every public speaking, preparation is key. Good preparation is the key to success. We cannot expect maximum results if the preparation is minimal. Prepare as best as possible, as much as possible. God willing, the results will follow.
Third, as we have learned, use good speaking techniques. Try to put energy into your voice, give emphasis to certain words. Display good body language, confident body language, open body language, body language that gives energy to what you are conveying.
And the last is, don't forget, when you speak, try to enjoy the conversation. So, you won't be able to be a good public speaker if you don't enjoy it. You must enjoy the topic you are delivering. Often, I see people who feel, "My topic is not fun." Don't think like that. This topic is something I have studied for a long time. It's part of my expertise, and I want to share it with others. Enjoy the topic you master, and in this way, you will eventually become a good public speaker.
Alright friends, so that's what we have learned about public speaking. How to overcome our fear, so that we who were previously worried about public speaking can become braver people. I hope this video will be beneficial for all of you. Don't forget, if this video is beneficial, please share it with your other friends. Also, share your comments about what you want to learn further about public speaking. God willing, in the future, my team and I will try to design more structured public speaking materials in a training program or workshop that we create.
In closing, I say to all of you, public speaking is a skill that can be learned. For that, it requires preparation, continuous practice, and a strong determination so that we can transform from being afraid to being brave in public speaking. Therefore, I invite you all, don't just be listeners, but be doers, be people who speak. Be people who dare to convey what you have. Start with the first step. What is the step? Simple. Be brave. Be brave to speak. Be brave to overcome your fear. Be brave to become better in your public speaking in front of the public. Remember, the world awaits your message, and I believe with preparation, with practice, with strong determination, with prayer, you will become an inspiring public speaker.
Thank you. I am Muhammad Noer from PRESENTA EDU. See you in the next video.
