We are going to delve into speech-making, but most of this section on public speaking is going to deal with giving presentations. What's the difference between a speech and a presentation?

Well, right now let's just leave it at this.  A presentation is:

1. •A commitment you, the presenter, make to help the audience accomplish something
   

2. •An ongoing evaluation the audience makes of you, deciding if your commitment is of worth to them
   

A speech is much less focused.  It starts out “flat” and only broadens.  A presentation, on the other hand, starts out narrow and sharpens to a point.  It focuses on giving the audience something specific.

Now, if you’re going to advance in your career, you’ll be smart to make yourself the one others see volunteering to make presentations.  The intelligence, confidence, and can-do attitude that is demonstrated simply by volunteering to get up and communicate valuable information will be like gold to you.

And if you’re starting or running your own business -- even one you run off your computer -- how many customers could you reach by going to the right places and talking about what you do?

Is that frightening?  It won’t be, once you equip yourself to be a relaxed, informed, and confident speaker.

Some of the subjects we’ll cover in these articles include:

1. •What makes an excellent business presentation
   

2. •Getting around your fear of public speaking

Being a truly outstanding speaker and presenter requires more than the skills of public speaking.  You’re going to want to know about how to be a good communicator in general.  That’s what is meant by being “integrated”: Your public and private communication come from the same place.
