IT IS GRAMMAR TIME - cocosista15.com

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTENSE AND INTENSIVE?

The best way to illustrate the difference between the words is to say that emotions are intense, while an action that is sustained (such as attention or an application) is intensive. Intense details a quality or condition (the cold was intense), but intensive implies that the degree or force is very high or strenuous ( he received intensive training in medication). Intense came from Latin words “intensus” and “intendere” meaning Stretched and strained’. Intensive came into English later, but evolved from the same Latin root. When words share roots, their meanings may not diverge enough for English speakers to easily discern the difference.

6 OCTOBER 1995, EXACTLY 21 YEARS TODAY FIRST PLANET ORBITING SUN-LIKE STAR WAS FOUNDED

51, pegasi B is the first discovered planetary-mass companion of its parent Star. The planet has been informally named Bellerophon. After its discovery, many term confirmed its existence and obtained more observations of its properties, including the fact that it orbits very close to star, suffers estimated temperatures around 1200c and has a minimum mass about half of Jupiter. At the time, this close distance between the planet and the star was not compatible with theories of planet formation and resulted in discussions of planetary migration. As of 2012, no additional planets had been found orbiting this star.

12 Best Practices for Speaking in Front of a Large Crowd - cocosista15.com

Work on the Climax

Your opening lines should be interesting so as to hold the interest of the audience. If not, you will lose them for the rest of the speech. Once you have your hook, you need to lead them to the climax of the story or what you are trying to communicate. Make the people feel that they were a part of the story and get emotionally tied to it.

Understand Your Audience

It is important that you know and understand your target audience: who they are, what they care about, what they want to hear and where they’re coming from. Don’t think about what you want to share. Instead, focus on how they are looking to grow and what experience you can share that will help them get what they want out of it.

Tell Stories

People love to hear something different. Stories will always connect with an audience on a much deeper level than facts. Try to weave personal stories into your entire speech to relate back to the audience and keep them engaged.

Know Yourself

Find out what works for you during these speeches. For me, it is the energy of the audience, so I spend the first 10 minutes talking to people and introducing myself to develop an instant rapport once I start speaking. I use their names and talk to their interests, which always helps me tailor the message and maintain their interest.

Embrace the Nerves

Always have it in mind that even the most accomplished speakers get nervous leading up to public speaking. It is completely natural. The nerves are actually a good thing and can be used to your advantage if channeled correctly. Those nerves get adrenaline pumping through your veins — similar to what a professional athlete might experience. Use this to your advantage to deliver a knockout speech.

Know Your Content

Truth be told if you are ill prepared you are courting trouble. If you know your content so well that you can have a no-stress casual conversation off-stage about it all day long, you’ll be much more comfortable on stage. Giving a speech where you need to constantly read off cheat cards is a recipe for disaster.

Use a Personal Mantra

Calm down, smile, breathe and go slowly .That’s what I repeat to myself every time I’m about to speak in front of a large crowd. No matter how many times I do it, big crowds still get my adrenaline pumping, and sometimes I speak too quickly as a result. Having a mantra helps ground me and remind me to chill out and be myself. I find this works great for job interviews and investor pitches as well.

Be Human

Have a positive mind set and see everyone of your audience as a friend and not a foe. Approach the crowd like you’re having a conversation with a friend. Assume everyone there likes you, wants to hear what you have to say and wants to grab a bite with you afterwards. Talk like a human, act like a human, and own it.

Breathe

Take a deep breath. Nothing can be more powerful than acknowledging, embracing and taking charge of your breath before speaking in front of a large audience. Breathe in to the big moments, and breathe out to pause between them.

Put Purpose at the Forefront

Deliver your speech with your purpose in mind. Start with why you’re there (i.e., identifying the purpose of your talk). End with your purpose, and use everything in between as the bookends of your talk to support your purpose. When purpose is at the forefront of a talk, the audience acts.

Speak From the Heart

Speak with empathy. The only thing worse than not being prepared is preparing too much. If you’re going to speak in front of an audience, it should come naturally. It should be prepared in advance, but not recited. If you plan your speech verbatim, you run the risk of losing the beat and getting lost when you stumble. However, if you focus on fewer high-level points, you can speak intuitively around those.

Believe You’re the Expert

Believe that you are a professional. I often perform best when I convince myself that everyone in the room wants to hear what I have to say. If you are positioned as an expert and attendees are in need of your knowledge, speaking confidently will come much more easily. Besides, speaking with confidence will ensure that the audience trusts that you know your stuff.
