What role does your personality play in public speaking? Is it better to have an extroverted or introverted personality? The answer might surprise you.
TRANSCRIPT:
What role does your personality play in public speaking - Well frankly it can make or break you. It’s all in how you use it.

You might have a bright bubbly personality or you might be quiet and introverted - if you identify with either personality stick with it and you can still be successful.

The worst thing you can do is to try to change because you think that is what you need to do to get better.

It’s a familiar story you’ve seen a great Ted speaker and you think if I can imitate them Ill be great too.

That is so far from the truth - trying to be a carbon copy of someone else will see you come across as shallow and false. Your audience will see through you in a flash.

It’s better to be a 100 percent original that a 40% copy of someone else.

What ever your personality extrovert or introvert you can become an excellent speaker - just play to your strengths - be true to yourself.

Most people would think extroverts make the best speakers but that is not so.

Introverts excel as public speakers  as often they connect better with the audience who identify with their retiring personality.
 Introverts often connect on a deeper level .  Not saying extroverts can’t do that but because of their outgoing personality they may have to work harder to develop a strong bond with the audience.

So don’t see being an introvert as a hindrance it really can be an asset if you work on it.

The most important advise is to work with what you’ve got.

Good speakers aren’t always funny, out-there or energetic, but they are always interesting. 
They communicate valuable information to their audience in an entertaining an informative way.

To be a good public Speaker takes a lot of work but the rewards are worth it. Just stay true to yourself.

Public Speaking Tip  #26 Personality Type

Preparation for giving a speech doesn't end until you've checked out the venue.  Fail to do that and you could be headed for disaster

TRANSCRIPT: No amount of preparation will be enough if you aren’t familiar with the venue where you are speaking.

Walking in cold is a sure way to push your nerve levels into over drive. 

Allow time to check the venue whether it be on the day or even beforehand.

Is it a big room or a small room? The size and layout can affect the way you deliver your presentation.  A small venue is more intimate and your movement and gestures should reflect that.

A large room with a bigger audience allows you to be more expansive and theatrical. Small gestures in a large hall will be lost - big hand gestures and body movements are more appropriate.

In a small venue  the audience is closer they will see a half smile, rolling your eyes but in a big auditorium that would go unnoticed.

Small details, but used properly your performance will  improve markedly.

While you’re there, check the stage - is there a lectern - how’s the lighting.  Too late to be introduced on stage only to find there’s no lectern for your notes or the lighting is too poor to read them.

Do a mic check to make sure you can be heard at the back of the room.

A check of the setup is your responsibility - don’t rely on the organisers to have it right for you because once you’re on stage the audience will blame you, not the organisers. if you are struggling to be heard or see your notes.

Doing a location check will also give you confidence because you will be familiar with your surroundings  which gives  you a feeling of control and will help calm the nerves.

A good public speaker leaves nothing to chance.

SPELLBOUND TRANSCRIPT:
It was towards the end of the 1950’s when Doug Osborne, an overseer/stockman working at Ned’s Corner sheep station on the banks of the River Murray above Renmark was ‘spellbound’ 
He witnessed one of the most delicate operations he’d ever imagined. As an avid horseman and animal lover, in his own words he related this experience to me.

“I was riding my horse across an island on the River Murray looking for stray sheep. It was a calm mild day as I stopped to adjust my saddle, when I dismounted I could hear someone talking not far away. I tethered my horse and walked over to a thicket of tee tree about 60 metres away, looked through the titre and a further 60 metres or so away I saw a man who I recognised as Possum. He was a person I’d only had fleeting glimpses of over the years walking along the creeks and river banks, but I’d never spoken to him. He always seemed so shy, and was a real mystery man.
I knew he was fond of animals and birds as I’d often found evidence of his work attending to sick and flyblown sheep. He’d fish all day to feed the pelicans and cormorants which had flown in from up North, it used to happen when their lakes had dried up.
On this day, Possum was standing in a little grass-covered clearing. He had several horses standing around him and was holding one by the mane and appeared to be trying to get it to lie down. The horse was in a distressed and poor condition and Possum kept repeating ‘Easy boy! Jim will make you better!’ Eventually he got that horse to lie down and I could see a ‘crow’s nest’ of barbed wire tangled round it’s right foreleg.

Possum sat down just under the horse’s neck ,placing his right arm over the top of it’s shoulder and stroking and patting it with his hand, all the while he was talking to it with soothing words.

As I watched this drama I became absolutely ‘entranced’ and was frightened to move in case I disturbed the horses which were quite wild, as they hadn’t been used for years and just ran untamed on the island.
Possum took a rusty looking pair of wire cutters from his little sugar bag. It must have taken him half to three quarters of an hour to cut all the barbed wire from around that poor horse’s fetlock and when he finished, Possum stood up and stretched saying to the horse, ‘Now isn’t that better.’
The horse was still lying on the ground but had it’s head raised up as if looking at what Possum had done.    (Chapter continues....)

Graeme Goodings 5AA  with Lano & Woodley - - 12th March 2023

Paul Clancy - I grew up in Renmark in the 50s and 60s and knew about Possum - saw him briefly when camping up river as kids. A few years ago Tony Hersey (who illustrated the book) and I “walked in the footsteps of Possum” we trekked along the Murray from Wentworth to Renmark. 

We visited one of his “hides” on Lindsay Island and retrieved an old axe head from a hollow log. Tony and I are both Vietnam Veterans and grew up together in Renmark and became fascinated by the Possum story when we were kids. 

We felt that by walking from Wentworth to Renmark in Possum’s footsteps we were making our own tribute to this remarkable man - a little known but significant Australian bush legend.

In the footsteps of Possum - Graeme Goodings talks with Paul Clancy on 5AA–

The official launch of A Man Called Possum Audiobook was held at the Paringa Silos where there is a giant mural of the legend of the bush.
It was the perfect location as although Possum roamed far and wide along the Murray River and the Darling he lived most of his life between Renmark and Wentworth. 
 It was a wonderful launch and some of the locals told previously unheard  stories of a man called Possum. Thanks to all involved
