Article Summary
Tony Robbins is an electric public speaker.
For the past 30 years, people have paid hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars each to attend one of the performance coach's high-energy seminars.
While public speaking is a skill that can only improve with practice, we asked Robbins what techniques even novices can begin implementing in their next speech. Here are his top three tips
1. Know and respect your audience.
“I want to know, just like when I work with an individual, what do they desire, what do they hate, what do they love, what are they hungry for, what's missing? Because the more you understand what somebody wants, needs, and fears, the more you can figure out how to add value."
2. Add more value than anyone expects
"Don't ever speak publicly about anything that you're not passionate about and that you don't actually believe you have something truly unique to deliver," he said.
3. Tap into your audience's emotions.
"If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there. You need to be in the moment and flexible to make it real and raw," Robbins said. "You'll enjoy it, they'll enjoy it, and you'll be memorable."
