Start Your Speech With Poise
Do not appear to be hurried and hassled when you are about to begin your speech. You will look like you’re out of control.
Also, never apologize. Just begin with your subject.
Take a deep breath, relax, and begin in a quiet conversational tone as though you were speaking to a friend. It may be like plunging into cold water. It’s really not that bad - after you are in, the water is fine. In fact, having spoken a few times you will even look forward to the plunge.
To stand before an audience and make them think your thoughts after you is one of the greatest pleasures you can ever know. Don’t be afraid. Instead, look forward to it.
