Probably the single most important thing about speaking is about being real. “genuineness” – what a lovely description that is. Would you trust the words of anyone you didn’t believe in. Imagine for a moment hearing The Duchess of Cambridge talk about signing on. Would you buy into her words? Or would her clothing and her accent convince you that she’s never signed on in her life even if you didn’t know who she was.
Authenticity is not difficult. It is simply about walking the walk, talking the talk and generally believing in what you’re talking about – so I know I’ve said this before but if you’re new to speaking in public – talk about something you know and believe in. You instantly become confident in your topic, an expert and most of all AUTHENTIC.
