Public speaking can feel intimidating, even for experienced professionals. But with the right approach, it’s a skill anyone can improve. At The Presenter Studio, we coach people from all walks of life - CEOs, creatives, academics and brand spokespeople—helping them find confidence and clarity in how they speak.

One of the most effective tips is to prepare your structure, not your script. A good presentation has a clear beginning, middle and end, but it shouldn’t sound robotic. Knowing your structure helps you stay on track while still sounding natural and responsive.

Another tip is to slow down. Nerves often make us rush. But speaking more slowly gives your audience time to absorb what you're saying—and gives you time to think. Pausing can be powerful.

A third tip: don’t just speak at people—engage with them. Make eye contact. Ask questions. React to the room. Public speaking should feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

At The Presenter Studio, we believe that great public speaking is about being yourself—just your best, most confident version. Find out how we can help you improve at:  https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training
