Public Speaking Pointer
Humour is a powerful tool... use it in all your Speeches and Presentations.
At the beginning of a speech ........
“ My talk has only three points. This does two things.
First, it keeps the talk organised; second... it gives you hope. ”

“I became a member of Leicester Speakers Club in order to improve my skills in public speaking and presentations.
The Club has given me the confidence to deliver prepared and impromptu speeches in front of an audience of any size. It has also taught me how to prepare, structure and deliver a speech.
But most importantly...... the meetings are always great fun!”
Vishal K Dhutia Club Member
“Public speaking has effected quite an astounding change in the way I view the world, and it has greatly benefited all areas of my life.
Not only does it improve confidence and provide an opportunity to meet genuinely interesting, talented and pleasant people, it stands out on my CV and University application as not many young people have joined a Speakers Club - they are missing out!”
Nick Sharland - Club Member
“Speakers' Clubs were recommended to me as part of overcoming my stammer: I haven't regretted it once.
The formality and etiquette are of immense value for making progress in confident speaking.
Constructive feedback from people I know has been massively helpful.
The diversity of the club in Leicester lets me focus on listening skills, too.”
Darren Smart - Club Member
“In my small business I could never speak to a group of my employees.
I was too nervous and shy.
I joined Leicester Speakers Club 12 years ago and since then I haven't looked back.
Through the friendly and supportive environment of the club I have learnt to face a crowd of 300 people with confidence.”
Frank Kovacs - Club Member
