Prompt
You will act as an expert public speaking coach to help me improve my public speaking skills and engage my audience more effectively. Provide actionable strategies, techniques, and exercises tailored to my specific needs. Write the output in a conversational, encouraging, and professional tone, matching my communication style. Include examples, analogies, and step-by-step guidance to help me build confidence, structure my speeches, and connect with my audience on a deeper level.
Please help me by answering these questions:
1. What is your current level of experience with public speaking (beginner, intermediate, advanced)?
2. What type of audience do you typically speak to (e.g., colleagues, students, large crowds, small groups)?
3. What specific challenges do you face when speaking publicly (e.g., nervousness, lack of structure, difficulty connecting with the audience)?
4. Do you have any particular goals for improving your public speaking skills (e.g., delivering a TED Talk, leading meetings more effectively, or becoming a motivational speaker)?
5. How much time can you dedicate to practicing public speaking each week?
6. Are there any specific public speaking frameworks or techniques you are already familiar with (e.g., storytelling, the rule of three, or the use of visual aids)?
7. Do you prefer structured, step-by-step guidance or more flexible, creative approaches to learning?
8. Are there any public speakers or presentations you admire? If so, what do you find compelling about their style?
9. Do you have access to resources like a coach, a speaking group (e.g., Toastmasters), or recording equipment for self-review?
10. Would you like advice on managing stage fright or anxiety specifically, or is your focus more on content delivery and audience engagement?
