After investing time, energy, and money into your honing your public speaking skills, you want to see results. I like results and I like improvements as well.
A lot of times it’s hard to know how to measure your public speaking improvements – below are some things to help you measure your growth.
Read them carefully and start looking for these indicators in your life.
1 – You feel less intimidated by upcoming presentations. Later, you start to look forward to future presentations. I say later because it takes the time to build up the conditioning.
2 – People start to give you compliments after your presentations. And most importantly you will start to believe them.
3 – When you speak at conferences, people will come after your presentation to chat with you, and they will give you their cards for future discussions. This will lead to speaking at more conferences and more job opportunities because your visibility increases.
4 – You will have multiple tools to engage your audience.
5 – You will stop interpreting the elevated heart rate and mild sweating as anxiety, and start interpreting them as excitement.
6 – It will be easy for you to craft and build great presentations. And it gets easier and easier with time.
7 – You start to discover your sense of humor. Later, you will start to activate it during any presentation.
8 – You will discover your subtle style of presenting.
9 – You will take a risk and use a story in your presentation. Later, you will not be able to stop using stories to engage your audience emotionally.
10 – You will discover that public speaking is a discipline. It will take time, energy and practice to keep improving.
11 -You will realize that public speaking training, presentation training, and storytelling training are investments with a positive ROI.
12- You will start reaping the benefits of being a good speaker. Your company will send you to more conferences, you will have access to wider career choices, you will be able to get the better projects, and you will be able to influence more people.
Remember that the road to Mastery is bumpy. Some days you experience improvements and some days you experience declines. The most important thing is to keep your eyes on improvements and to keep the trend up.
