Things that i learned from this video: -how to use body language -there is a world champion in public speaking
Hahahah
don't work in real life...
Its insanely competitive. Most public speaking competitors end up becoming doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, social activists, etc.
I still didn’t even fully comprehend that until reading this
Means u didn't learn Shit.
Summary of this video - 1. Keep your body open 2. Have your palms open 3. Get comfortable with stage 4. Don't touch podium
Thanks man you saved me some time
I watched the whole video even after reading but this help if you forgot all what he said
Thank you from las Vegas INFJ
What's podium
@@SuperBhavanishankar It's the stand that holds the microphone. Often it is shaped like a wooden or glass box ⛩🗣 that speakers stand behind while giving a speech to a audience. Hope that helps to clearly answer your question.
The thumbnail looked like he was holding lightsabers...
👌
👍
Yeah false advertising!!!
Ikr
Lol
Know your content. Know what you are talking about. Know when to open yourself up and join the content and yourself. Know when to separate yourself from the content. This is a great starting point for speaking. If you are presenting difficult information, or information that will not be received well, Use other sources for how to present. Body language is incredibly important for your presentation.
Wow. Very nice comment. The guy in the video does public speaking for the show. In all apparences, you do it at a professional level for your job. Thx
Met him Once in 2016. He was delivering a 40 min version of that speech in my school. Was luck to met him, we took a photo he even sign my pencil case that kept till this day What a Nice guy.
He says "my wife" and immediately covered up his organs.
Well it's something of his private life, an intimate relationship so I think it's ok
@@Yishy22 it was a joke
@@Yishy22 jeeez
You can still use normal hand gestures to strengthen your words
@@he_cat lol @ a "joker" telling ppl its a joke ;)
I am really really proud of u my bro being a Sri Lankan who catch whole the world showing something special.....
Percy nope. Easiest way to recognise we Sri Lankans is, look at the names. They are too long. 😁
@Adel Alotaibi he is Sri Lankan
@@SupunWiratunga they're not always long
Finally a short ass video which bought the topic straight to it's point. Well done
Some really good tips here, especially for developers like me who are always speaking in front on small groups.
24paljim Jeremy Corbin is awkward a shit
I had an anxiety attack when I had to stand up in front of room at work, there were only 6 people in there lol 😭
same thing different situation
I'm gonna be speaking in front of 80+ people! Tomorrow!
Work on confidence first then only think positive
:(
X´O
Thank you for the awesome tips. Much appreciated.
I host small gatherings and events and I realized i was doing exactly what he is telling us *Not to Do* I'm glad I found this video.
i never noticed how relax i did become when i see the inside palm of my hand this is a great trick i can use to calm my nervousness when i begin my speech.
yeah i tried it as soon as he said it and it really had a difference
These totally help! Thank you so much for the advice!
It's great video and thanks. I liked how the speaker engaged audience by asking questions regarding his mother and father with audience.
I really appreciate this video. Thank you for the useful tips and info
I have a learned alot from those tips ..you sharing those tips helped me a lot I was able to attract audience n make them my own .. am very much happy n I say looking forward getting more tips from you guys great work indeed ..
Very powerful and very simple basic positive body language tips
I found this video to be really helpful, thank you!
BRILLIANCE!!!
Totally agree with the points you make - when you say feel comfortable with the stage, for me it's important to use the stage as a solid foundation from which to deliver and also build confidence. Now's the time to put into practice your recommendations!! Thank you.
Same!!

I love these!
Thanks for the heads up

Thank you for your useful tips sir
Excellent advice on how to manage your body gestures when public speaking. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Such simple tricks that help a looot
Thanks for your tips!
love this video 👏👏👍
so informative.
Most of these I'm good at, but the podium thing nailed me. He SO right. Once I get my hands on the podium, it's never flat on the ground again! It feels like confidence, but has to be very distracting and limiting!
Very informative and fruitful vdo ofcourse if we will follow ur words our presentation will be much lucid, tnkx for such good instructions ...
Exactly what I needed. I'm going to speak publicly in a couple of days and it will be at a podium. Thank you so much!
Thanks for these tips

I was recently taught that we stand on podiums. Your point is referring to the lecturn.
Shit, I got an A in my solo presentation. The tips really did boost my confidence.
Finally a good Business Insider video

Thank you mother
1 thing I learned from experience is to interact with your audiences. I am a key note speaker & at conferences. I know my audiences & will play on professions with a bit of banter - as an Accountant I banter on why the Finance people all drive new cars & why Auditors have no friends.
Genial
Proud of you (Y)
great
