Want to overcome your fear of public speaking? 🎤
Dr James Mannion from Oracy Cambridge at @Hughes_Hall, shares three simple tips to help you become a more confident speaker:
1. Focus on the story, not the script 📝
2. Think about your audience and what they need 👥
3. Practise through exposure – the more you speak in public, the more confident you'll become 🫡
After all, confident public speaking can take you a long way… just ask Dr Mannion, or even the next Prime Minister 😏
