PUBLIC SPEAKING AND WHY YOU SHOULD MASTER IT
Public speaking is a cheat code.
But most people treat it like a punishment.
If your hands shake, your voice cracks, or your brain freezes...
This thread is for you:
How to become a confident speaker — even if you’re an introvert 🧵👇
Speaking well is a superpower.
It builds trust.
It closes deals.
It attracts attention.
It opens doors faster than any CV ever will.
But it’s not talent. It’s a skill.
And anyone can learn it.
🧠 Rule #1: Know your message.
People don’t fear speaking.
They fear sounding dumb.
Confidence comes from clarity.
💡 If you can’t summarize your message in one sentence, you’re not ready to speak it.
🎭 Rule #2: Energy > Eloquence
Nobody remembers the perfect sentence.
They remember how you made them feel.
💡 Speak with conviction, not perfection.
Be passionate. Be animated. Show you care.
🧍♂️ Rule #3: Master your body language
Before you say a word, your body already spoke.
❌ Avoid: Hands in pockets, looking down, pacing ✅ Do: Stand tall, use hand gestures, eye contact
💡 You don’t have to fake confidence. Just practice presence.
😳 Rule #4: You will mess up. Good.
Every great speaker has flopped.
The goal isn’t to be flawless.
It’s to be authentic.
💡 If you trip over a word, smile and keep going. Humans relate to humans, not robots.
🎤 Rule #5: Practice in small arenas
You don’t need a TED stage to get started.
✅ Host a Twitter/X Space
✅ Join a panel on Discord
✅ Teach something to a friend
✅ Speak up more on Zoom calls
Small reps build big confidence.
⚔️ Bonus: Turn nerves into fuel
What you call “anxiety” is the same energy as excitement.
Reframe it.
💡 Tell yourself: “This is my body getting ready to perform.”
It changes everything.
