Speakers fear "dumbing down" their message and insulting their audience, but there's a difference between "dumb" and "understandable." And then there are the speakers who need their audiences to think they're brilliant, and that using big words and complex language will seal the deal. I heard this from several audience members recently who heard a famous politician speak. For about a month, I had been hearing from one reader or another that they couldn't access this blog due to a malware warning. The IT people I talked to suggested that the problem might be on the users'

Do you ever feel like an audience member is attacking you when they ask challenging questions during your presentation? Hopefully, your audience doesn't actually try to discredit you or prove you wrong, as a client recently mentioned to me, but sometimes a particular question can provoke a feeling of anger or defensiveness. Give your audience member the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is truly curious and is asking the question with good intentions. You might get riled up. You might get ruffled.

When I misspelled my final word, I was a little shocked; the audience roared with applause. What I heard in that applause was an audience who was glad to see me eliminated! Somewhere along the way, it was explained to me that I got so much applause because the audience was acknowledging my achievement. When I was in third grade, I took third place in the school spelling bee, behind a fifth grader and a sixth grader. I

In my recent guest post on Jeremy Jacobs ' blog, my first point about public speaking fear was that you don't have to be friends with everyone. People in the audience may or may not like you, and how people feel is just something that it's pretty impossible to control. said, ' How's everybody this morning?
