STEP TO THE STAGE: THE 3 P'S OF PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR WOMEN
Ladies, have you ever found yourself daydreaming about standing on a stage, mic in hand, captivating an audience with your words? Whether it's a virtual conference or an in-person event, the stage is calling your name. And guess what? You are more than ready to answer that call!
Today I am sharing with you my 3P process for taking the stage with confidence in your voice and power in your message! If you are, or want to be, a speaker or presenter, or if you are in a role where you speak in front of people often, this article is for you!
Before we dive in, I want you to think about why public speaking is so important for women. When women take the stage, it is about more than just sharing information; it is about making an impact, inspiring change, and leaving a lasting impression. When you speak, you have the power to influence opinions, drive action, and even alter the course of someone's life. If you are ready to harness that power and make your voice heard, keep reading!
My 3P process is simple: Prepare, Practice, and Perform. Keeping the process simple helps take away some of the overwhelm that comes with committing to take the stage. When you follow this process, you set yourself up for raving success! Without further ado – the 3Ps of public speaking!
1. Preparation: Your Blueprint to Success
The first step in your public speaking journey is preparation. This is where you lay the foundation for your message. Start by selecting a topic that resonates with you and is appropriate for the audience. Ensure you choose a topic that you feel comfortable speaking on or have experience with. Create an outline, start drafting your speech, and then refine it until it shines.
2. Practice: The Key to Confidence
I cannot stress enough the importance of practice. The stage is not the place for your first run-through. As a musician of almost 30 years, I can assure you that practice is the KEY to a successful showing on the stage. However, practice doesn't make perfect—it makes permanent, so be sure you are practicing the way you want to perform. If you don’t practice beforehand, you will not have the experience you are hoping for on the stage. The more you rehearse, the more confident and comfortable you will feel when it's showtime.
(Pro tip: At least one of your practices should be in the outfit and shoes you will wear at show time – that way you know what they will feel like, and you can make adjustments beforehand if something is uncomfortable or doesn’t fit right.)
3. Performance: Your Moment to Shine
The day has arrived. Your preparation and practice have led you to this moment. It is your time to shine, and you are ready! Keep your nerves at bay by relying on your practice and knowing that you are well-prepared. Wear those tried-and-true heels you practiced in and that power outfit that makes you feel invincible and go rock that stage!
