Public Speaking - How to Become a Unique Public Speaker
I have spoken several times in public in my life. And I never truly felt comfortable speaking in public, especially in high school. But after a while, after gaining enough experience, you get over it.
You not only get over it but you also learn how to use your anxiety and fear to steer your presentation in the right direction. But how do you become a unique speaker?
Be Yourself
I think the most important part of being able to brand yourself is to truly accept yourself for who you are. To embrace your character and use it as an opportunity to create something unique.
If you watch some movies then you will invariably notice why actors like Jim Carrey and others are so successful. They have such a strong character and are so unique that you would instantly notice him everywhere.
The same applies to spiritual or religious leaders. They see to have an aura surrounding them that makes them so much more interesting. That's also the way you want to be as a public speaker.
Create a Routine
Routines are a great way for people to notice you. For example a routine might be a way to dress or the way you are leaving the stage. It makes you stand out that much more.
Once you have done this often enough then people will automatically associate this gesture or routine with you. When they see this again then they will automatically think of you again.
Use Other Sources
In order to brand yourself you need to rely on other things then just the normal business card. Why not create a blog or a website? This is a great way to distinguish yourself from other people.
You could for example write about each of your speaking events or what you have learned from them. It doesn't really matter what you write about as long as you have the experience to back it up.
