Hi. Presenting and having a chat with the audience at the same time is great. And you have lovely humour that is so important to make us listening. It makes listening so easy. Very useful ideas. Thanks.
Been a public speaker for 23 years and have incorporated much of what this man says. He's very good, for certain. I have preached the power of "white space" around important parts of a presentation for many a year; what you call the power of the pause. It's also a sign that the speaker is comfortable with themselves as well as their presentation. And eye contact - good thing to lead off with as it can denote confidence even if the speaker doesn't feel confident as long as it's done well.
You are really a great speaker - the essence of your success is your totally relaxed vibe followed by humor - thank you so much. I want you in my pocket!
This is one of the best presentations about public speaking I've heard. staright to the points, organized, and entertaining. That is what i want to aim to. Thanks for this great presentation, Douglas
This presentation was such a great help to peope like myself who are shy with issues of looking into other's eyes when speaking. I am preparing to become a First Lady/Pastor's Wife where my speaking abilities will play a major role to my success in the Gospel field. Thank you very much Doug for showing me how to include comedy in a presentation in order to keep the focus and attention of my audience. The lesson on body language was so very helpful as well. Great Job!!!
i am an ametuer public speaker, with my biggest audience being close to 800 people, with a two page speach. i wanted to say that i found this video really, and not only, informative, but also very funny as well, so thank you for posting this video
Superb stuff. Very entertaining too. I have worked in firms where an annual presentation to staff is a big event, and some speakers do make you wish you had gone to the "restroom" a moment or two before it begins. An entertaining speaker does not always play by the rules. When I was at College in the 80's someone turned his business studies presentation into a bit of a comedy routine; I remembered his, but none of the others.
@plumstreetmusic John - Glad you like the videos. I've had literally hundreds of Wayne State graduates in my seminars over the years that I had the Old Chrysler as a client.
Interestingly, the "Tell em how you're going to bore them. Bore them. Tell them how you bored them." has a lot of parrellels in adult learning concepts, and variations on that theme show up in boilerplate sales schedules, too.
True: However, in this survey people were asked to list their top THREE fears. The list describes what percentage of total respondents included the particular fear in their choice of three.
This video has some nice clips from the full 90 minute presentation. However, the main arguments of the presentation are curiously missing. I'd definitely recommend the whole video if public speaking is important to you.
Hi Like the video, you are a very listenable and professional presenter. (Some of the written translation is a little off the mark though, just thought you would want to know..)
JD I really enjoy all your videos. I have linked them into my channels that I use for teaching Economics at Wayne State University. I require my students to give a Pecha Kucha presentation of their term papers. --Dr. John Sase
Very helpful Thank YOU for sharing ... perfect timing too since I am in the process of launching my own speaking business and can use all the help I can get so I can speak effectively. Expect Miracles... Shane
I don't have your data so I can't dispute your claim. I would think that might be true if you're referring to s technique that is used by people who are deliberately trying to deceive. However, in common human interactions, maintaining eye contact definitely sends the message of sincerity, whereas avoiding eye contact suggests a lack thereof.
Interesting comments and most are valid...I disagree with the concept that someone is more likely to be telling the truth if they look into your eyes. While eye movement and blink rate is a possible indication of deception - data supports that people are more likely to look you in the eye and even exaggerate that gesture when they are being deceptive.
my teacher said us to saw this videao, this will be in the exam and i can' t understand it too much.....i need to read it in subtitles ha ha i will try to understand it, thanks ;D

well I wouldn't say his anecdote is trivial - its actually valid. The problem is it doesn't apply to this lecture. His data is correct but only applies to confronting someone who is hiding something from you. They will look you directly while they lie to see if you're buying it.
From what I saw, Mr Jefferys didn't say that a person looking you in the eye is telling the truth, so while you're uncited anecdote is interesting in a trivial way, it is also irrelevant except as a "Didja know?" kind of informal sound bite. Even if the person you're speaking to is in the (speculating) 0.01% of people who have read the studies you're referencing, people respond better, and have more faith in, someone who is giving eye contact during their presentation or discussion.
now to put this in action in tomorrow's presentation =7=;; one thing I noticed in my presentation skills.. I don't pause.. whatsoever! I become so nervous, I just keep going till I finish xD;;
Not only do you offer fantastic advice here, but delivered it in such a light-hearted and watchable way. Thank you!
"Tell them how you're gonna bore them
Bore them
And tell them how you bored them"
Brilliant :D
+LMC Sums up all class presentations really.

Take a deep breath and know that you look, to some extent, like a hero for being brave and standing there.

all I can say, this person is one of the best speaker
This is one of the best presentations about public speaking I've heard. staright to the points, organized, and entertaining. That is what i want to aim to. Thanks for this great presentation, Douglas
This also shows how a good sense of humor helps keep the audience interested

Simply great! particularly that part about putting hands in the pockets was explained the best!
A must-see video clip for every Powerpoint mad business person - aren't they all? Good to see natural speaking.
Neat portrayal of how effective public speaking should be done.
Merci !
i believe the best presentation is one spoken from your heart and not your head.

I always watch this video before hosting an event. Thanks J.
I wish They have the uncut version though.
Lots of content in a concise manner. Loved it and intend to use your ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Very catchy way to learn the basic behaviour people automatically do when speaking to a large audience, Thank you for the post
Hey there Mr. Jefferys! Thank you for such great content. I appreciate all that you do.
Super. Fantastic. Extremely well thought through. Thank you!

John - Glad you like the videos. I've had literally hundreds of Wayne State graduates in my seminars over the years that I had the Old Chrysler as a client.
thanks Douglas! funny, entertaining, informative. Fantastic!
Awesome! My major is Communication/Media,and these were VERY helpful!!!!
Interestingly, the "Tell em how you're going to bore them. Bore them. Tell them how you bored them." has a lot of parrellels in adult learning concepts, and variations on that theme show up in boilerplate sales schedules, too.
Could you please elaborate on the methods behind the 'pause'?
That's one my achilles heels when it comes to public speaking.
Have to watch this for college. Thanks for sharing.
It is nice , and the anxiety is the real problem of us , I will try to do not let the anxiety to take me . Thank you again
wat a great speech!! im amused and impressed! wish could be able to speak just like him
True:
However, in this survey people were asked to list their top THREE fears. The list describes what percentage of total respondents included the particular fear in their choice of three.

Absolutely brilliant. You sir, are a great speaker.
