Helping those with a fear of public speaking or social phobia.

Chapter 3, Page 3

Keep on putting down all the ideas that come to your mind, thinking hard all the while. Please do not hurry this process. This is the most important mental transaction that will help you in delivering the final speech. This method will cause the mind to grow in real power, productive power. When you are confident that you have prepared enough material to cover the time allocated to you, open the envelope and bring out the contents and keep them in an order that you think is the best for the speech. Please remember the speech should have an introduction, a body and conclusion.

When the time to face the audience comes, your first words will be introductory. How you will introduce your speech will largely depend on what its main contents are. The body of the speech should contain the main theme of your topic. This should be surrounded by narrations, stories, humor, personal experiences and if necessary, statistics. Collect far more material than you intend to use. Assemble a hundred thoughts and discard ninety. The way to develop a reserve power is to know far more than you can use. Always have a full reservoir of information.

The conclusion of the speech is very important. If the first impressions are most striking, the last impressions are often the most lasting. Your first words may determine what kind of hearing your speech will get. But, your last words may decide how it will be remembered or acted upon by your listeners.

Write down the entire speech. Read it slowly to time it. But do not memorize it. Do not memorize the words.
