What Makes A Good Public Speaker?
In more than 10 years, I have invited thousands of speakers on stage at my conference LeWeb. Here are a few thoughts on what makes a good speaker.
Charismatic
I have seen people who have something to say be terribly boring and others without anything to say but really entertaining. I would say the way the message is delivered is more important than the content itself. Public speaking is about entertaining an audience. If you're entertaining and charismatic the room will love you already.
Funny
That one is way too often forgotten. Make the audience smile. Make fun of yourself. There is even a Hans Rosling explains the World is better off than you think and the art of explaining complicated things in a way everyone can understand.
Uses drawings to support his talk
I have seen John Maeda draw on stage and instead of using slides he would only show drawings to illustrate his talk. The form mattered as much as the content.
Scares the audience
When Al Gore gave his talk on global warming all around the World, he scared everyone. Same with Philip Zimbardo and his Lucifer Effect talk. He was explaining how good people can turn evil. In both cases the audience was captivated.
There are many more ways a speaker can be incredible on stage, what did I forget?
