How To Be a Persuasive Speaker: Being More Authentic
Being authentic doesn’t mean always behaving the same way in all situations. Authenticity (неподдельность, искренность) requires self-awareness (самоанализ) as well as awareness of your context and situation before deciding which parts of the real you to show. Think about each presentation situation, understand your audience, and then pick and chose which elements of your personal speaking style will work in that situation. Authentic public speaking is not one-size-fits-all (универсально, на все случаи жизни). You have many behaviors, many ways to stand, smile, and talk. Think of each of those authentic behaviors as tools in a toolbox. Match the tool to the task, and bring out the right authentic behaviors to match the situation.
Will you fail sometimes? Yes. But keep on learning from mistakes, keep on learning how to be a better presenter, and always remember to be authentic.
