Glossophobia — better known as a fear of public speaking — affects 74% of people, according to a National Institute of Mental Health survey. So it's no surprise the very thought of addressing large crowds causes so much stress, angst, and discomfort.
 
據(jù)美國(guó)心理健康研究所稱，公眾演講恐懼癥（或害怕公開(kāi)演講）影響到74%的人。所以，很多人都有很多緊張、焦慮和焦慮，這并不奇怪。
 
In the past three decades, I've given more than 1,200 presentations to upward of a million people. Many say the ability to speak before large crowds is innate, but I'm not sure that's true.
 
在過(guò)去的30年，我給10萬(wàn)人做過(guò)1200多次演講。許多人說(shuō)在大量人群前演講的能力是天生的，但我不能同意。
 
I didn't do much public speaking in the first 20 years of my life. Our school didn't encourage students to speak in front of crowds, so I graduated from high school and started university thinking I didn't possess the tools to connect with large audiences.
 
直到我20歲時(shí)，我才開(kāi)始公開(kāi)演講。我們學(xué)校不鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在眾人面前講話，所以當(dāng)我高中畢業(yè)并開(kāi)始上大學(xué)時(shí)，我沒(méi)有足夠好的手段與大批聽(tīng)眾交流。
 
Like so many other things in life — including business acumen — speaking skills can betaught, enhanced, and perfected.
就像生活中的許多事（包括商業(yè)頭腦），演講技能可以通過(guò)后天學(xué)習(xí)、提高、鞏固。
Poor lines of communication or a bad presentation can lead to lost opportunities. Conversely, great public speaking skills can land you a new job or client, motivate your team, and even turn a bad situation around.
溝通不暢或缺乏說(shuō)話技巧會(huì)導(dǎo)致你失去機(jī)會(huì)。相反，良好的公共演講技巧可以幫助你找到新工作或結(jié)識(shí)新客戶，激勵(lì)團(tuán)隊(duì)，甚至扭轉(zhuǎn)局面。
 
Speak with purpose in the workplace
在工作場(chǎng)所帶著目的演講
In honing my public speaking skills, I've also significantly improved how I interact with my colleagues back in the office, mainly using these five tactics:
在磨練演講技巧時(shí)，我也極大地提升了自己與同事之間相互溝通的技巧，主要用以下五種策略：
1. Map out the message
1. 設(shè)計(jì)好要傳輸?shù)男畔?br /> Think through what you want to say and identify the two or three key messages you want listeners to retain. Then, put those into a logical sequence. Keep the message condensed and easily understandable. The way to get a message across at work is to narrow it as much as possible. The more focused it is, the better employees will grasp it.
想想你要說(shuō)什么，然后決定你想讓聽(tīng)眾記住的兩到三個(gè)要點(diǎn)。然后，使信息的邏輯。使信息簡(jiǎn)潔易懂。在工作中交流信息的方法是最小化信息。焦點(diǎn)越集中，員工就越容易理解。
 
Your primary objective is to inform and educate the audience; to do this, focus on the content, but don't get too hung up on the delivery.
你的主要目標(biāo)是告訴和教育聽(tīng)眾做到這一點(diǎn)，專注于你的內(nèi)容，不要太在意你說(shuō)話的方式。
 
Craft agendas for all presentations, be they companywide announcements or one-on-one chats with colleagues. Charting a direction for your workplace communication ensures that your message will land. Create a road map for your talk by planning all the necessary stops along the way. It's that simple.
為公司內(nèi)部的所有演講做準(zhǔn)備，發(fā)表聲明，或與同事溝通。確立辦公室溝通的方向，確保信息的有效落地。讓你的演講和計(jì)劃的所有細(xì)節(jié)做概述。這很簡(jiǎn)單。
 
2. Speak from the heart
2. 發(fā)自內(nèi)心地演講
Take possession of the room. People are giving you their time, so make it worth their while. It isn't enough just to know what you're talking about: You have to believe in it. Don't say "I wasn't planning on talking with you today" or that you didn't have time to prepare. Be humble, sincere, and controlled in your approach.
 
把控全場(chǎng)。人們給你時(shí)間，你要讓他們感受到價(jià)值。僅僅知道你在說(shuō)什么是不夠的：你必須相信它。不要說(shuō)“我沒(méi)有打算今天談話”或者沒(méi)有時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備。講話時(shí)要謙虛、真誠(chéng)、克制。
 
Don't conduct a word-by-word recitation of your speech. Connect with your audience through constant eye contact and vocal modulation that allows your emotion, commitment, and determination to naturally shine.
不要把你的演講當(dāng)作逐字背誦。通過(guò)不斷的目光接觸和調(diào)整你的聲音給聽(tīng)眾，它會(huì)讓你的情感、承諾和決心自然地流動(dòng)。
 
Delivering a new officewide initiative with this type of fervor, for example, keys employees in to the fact that what you're saying needs to be retained.
把這種熱情用在辦公場(chǎng)所，比如，重要員工所說(shuō)的話需要被保留。
3. Use visuals
3. 運(yùn)用視覺(jué)化表達(dá)
Never underestimate the value of showing visual elements that reinforce your points. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, people remember 65% of information they retain through a combination of visual and oral communication.
永遠(yuǎn)不要低估使用視覺(jué)元素增強(qiáng)表達(dá)能力的價(jià)值。根據(jù)美國(guó)勞工部的數(shù)據(jù)，人們通過(guò)視覺(jué)和語(yǔ)言交流記住了65%的信息。
 
Display the graphs, videos, and images that best convey your message. Visuals bring your words to life and improve the chances that your message will be committed to memory.
圖表、視頻和圖片可以傳輸你想表達(dá)的信息。形象化能使你的語(yǔ)言更生動(dòng)，使你的信息更令人難忘。
 
4. Be prepared
4. 充分準(zhǔn)備
I was very nervous the first time I spoke in front of a crowd. I felt unprepared and overwhelmed with the audience's perception of me and my speech. Though my recollection of the talk itself is sketchy, one impression sticks with me: I never wanted to feel that vulnerable in front of an audience again.
我第一次在公共場(chǎng)合講話時(shí)，我非常緊張。聽(tīng)眾對(duì)我和演講的理解使我措手不及。雖然我對(duì)演講本身并不清楚，但有一件事給我留下了深刻印象：我再也不想在觀眾面前這么脆弱。
 
Never wing it. Develop your own style, and don't try to copy someone else's. Whether you're discussing a department overhaul, a new hire, or a change in company policy, know what you're talking about. Collect any and all relevant information and come in prepared. If you show confidence, your audience will feel it, too.
永遠(yuǎn)別臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮。形成自己的風(fēng)格，別試圖模仿別人。無(wú)論你是在討論部門改革、新員工，還是公司政策變化，都要知道自己在說(shuō)什么。收集所有相關(guān)信息，充分準(zhǔn)備。如果你表現(xiàn)出自信，你的聽(tīng)眾也會(huì)這么覺(jué)得。
5. Zone in
5. 融入其中
You've prepared the talk — now it's time to prepare the speaker. Don't stay out late the night before, drink too much, or eat unfamiliar foods. A good night's rest is invaluable and will transfer good energy into the presentation.
你已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了演講，現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候準(zhǔn)備作為一個(gè)演講者了。前一天晚上別在外面待到太晚，別喝多，也別吃陌生食品。晚上好好休息是很有必要的，會(huì)讓你在演講時(shí)精力充沛。
Dress appropriately, get to the venue on time, and ease into the surroundings. Feel comfortable with the stage, the room, and the audience. In the final hour before your talk, don't change a thing.
穿著得體，準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)會(huì)場(chǎng)，輕松融入周圍環(huán)境。熟悉舞臺(tái)、房間以及聽(tīng)眾。在你演講之前，不要再改變?nèi)魏蝺?nèi)容。
Public speaking isn't difficult. It's uncomfortable the first few times, because people are looking at you, listening to you, and hoping to learn something from you. You don't want to let them down, so don't. Business is all about having an idea and communicating your vision, so go ahead. Inform them, entertain them, and fill the room with your energy, passion, and presence.
 
公共演講不太難。開(kāi)始幾次會(huì)很不舒服，因?yàn)槿藗冊(cè)诳茨�，�?tīng)你，希望從你身上學(xué)到一些東西。你不想讓他們失望，所以不要讓他們失望。商業(yè)說(shuō)它是關(guān)于一個(gè)想法和與人們交流你的愿景，所以繼續(xù)吧。告訴他們，接受他們，用你的能量、熱情和存在填滿這個(gè)房間。
