Things that i learned from this video:
-how to use body language
-there is a world champion in public speaking
Hahahah
don't work in real life...
Its insanely competitive. Most public speaking competitors end up becoming doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, social activists, etc.
I still didn’t even fully comprehend that until reading this
Means u didn't learn Shit.
Summary of this video -
1. Keep your body open
2. Have your palms open
3. Get comfortable with stage
4. Don't touch podium
Thanks man you saved me some time
I watched the whole video even after reading but this help if you forgot all what he said
Thank you from las Vegas INFJ
What's podium
@@SuperBhavanishankar It's the stand that holds the microphone.
Often it is shaped like a wooden or glass box ⛩🗣 that speakers stand behind while giving a speech to a audience.
Hope that helps to clearly answer your question.
The thumbnail looked like he was holding lightsabers...
👌
👍
Yeah false advertising!!!
Ikr
Lol
Know your content. Know what you are talking about. Know when to open yourself up and join the content and yourself. Know when to separate yourself from the content. This is a great starting point for speaking. If you are presenting difficult information, or information that will not be received well, Use other sources for how to present. Body language is incredibly important for your presentation.
Wow. Very nice comment.
The guy in the video does public speaking for the show. In all apparences, you do it at a professional level for your job. Thx
Met him Once in 2016. He was delivering a 40 min version of that speech in my school. Was luck to met him, we took a photo he even sign my pencil case that kept till this day What a Nice guy.
I am really really proud of u my bro being a Sri Lankan who catch whole the world showing something special.....
Percy nope. Easiest way to recognise we Sri Lankans is, look at the names. They are too long. 😁
@Adel Alotaibi he is Sri Lankan
@@SupunWiratunga they're not always long
He says "my wife" and immediately covered up his organs.
Well it's something of his private life, an intimate relationship so I think it's ok
@@Yishy22 it was a joke
@@Yishy22 jeeez
You can still use normal hand gestures to strengthen your words
@@he_cat lol @ a "joker" telling ppl its a joke
;)
Finally a short ass video which bought the topic straight to it's point. Well done
Some really good tips here, especially for developers like me who are always speaking in front on small groups.
24paljim Jeremy Corbin is awkward a shit
I host small gatherings and events and I realized i was doing exactly what he is telling us *Not to Do* I'm glad I found this video.
I had an anxiety attack when I had to stand up in front of room at work, there were only 6 people in there lol 😭
same thing different situation
I'm gonna be speaking in front of 80+ people!
Tomorrow!
Work on confidence first then only think positive
:(
X´O
i never noticed how relax i did become when i see the inside palm of my hand this is a great trick i can use to calm my nervousness when i begin my speech.
yeah i tried it as soon as he said it and it really had a difference
Thank you for the awesome tips. Much appreciated.
It's great video and thanks. I liked how the speaker engaged audience by asking questions regarding his mother and father with audience.
Totally agree with the points you make - when you say feel comfortable with the stage, for me it's important to use
the stage as a solid foundation from which to deliver and also build confidence. Now's the time to put into practice your recommendations!! Thank you.
Same!!
I have a learned alot from those tips ..you sharing those tips helped me a lot I was able to attract audience n make them my own .. am very much happy n I say looking forward getting more tips from you guys great work indeed ..
These totally help! Thank you so much for the advice!
I really appreciate this video.
Thank you for the useful tips and info
Very powerful and very simple basic positive body language tips
BRILLIANCE!!!
this answers so many questions about my hand gestures when speaking
Most of these I'm good at, but the podium thing nailed me. He SO right. Once I get my hands on the podium, it's never flat on the ground again! It feels like confidence, but has to be very distracting and limiting!
I found this video to be really helpful, thank you!
I love these!
proud sri lankan Mr.dhananjaya hettiarachchi... your story inspired me😊👌
Excited to know about public speaking from the World Champion Public Speaker himself.
Exactly what I needed. I'm going to speak publicly in a couple of days and it will be at a podium. Thank you so much!
Confidence and practice are important too

In communication I only know 7 38 55 rule - 7% is content, 38% is tone, 55% is gesture .
Great insight
Nice body language tips.
I was recently taught that we stand on podiums. Your point is referring to the lecturn.
hooo, I got a presentation tomorrow!
1 thing I learned from experience is to interact with your audiences. I am a key note speaker & at conferences. I know my audiences & will play on professions with a bit of banter - as an Accountant I banter on why the Finance people all drive new cars & why Auditors have no friends.
Proud of you (Y)
wow this is great !
I enjoyed using this video for my students in 7th grade. One point to consider, if you would - at about 2 minutes in, you mention not to touch the podium. I believe you meant lectern - the podium being the small stage one steps onto to be elevated when giving a speech.
Increíble ❤❤❤
Im in search of this video from fews day now i got ri8 one.....soooo gud
I feel like some of these are exaggerated. In my class, I noticed that the ones that are "confident" have their hands hanging low. Does that mean they are are brave because their arms are not folded? Or are they too scared stiff?
What I'm trying to get at is, why can't we just talk and present how we want to present? I fold my arms mostly because it relaxes me. Nervous? Sure. However, I could say the same when I put my hands behind my back when I'm nervous. And this happens sometimes.
I love how the tips you are giving are pretty much the same tips used to calm animals. I intend no disrespect at all when i say that. Humans and animals respond to a lot of the same triggers.
I haven't watched your other content yet, but I'm hoping you go into have you use your body movements as part of your delivery.
I like your sharp movements, and how you use them for misdirection. You turned to the side and closed up your space as if you were going to start speaking softly, then rapidly turns back, opened up, and increased your volume. It's like comadies version of a jump scare.
Any book recommendations on how he knows this stuff. I'm curious
#Goodstuff!
Great Speakers will always be open to an audience and will never be close to them, so they can't look away while the speaker is speaking and will have your attention while you speak anywhere. Another way is to get comfortable with the stage or anywhere you are at to move around, this way the audience with their eyes will follow you where ever you go. When you have a podium do not touch in order to not get nervous. keep your arms out and never crossed, because it will seem like you are closing yourself off from the audience.
Thank you so much
OMG... You summed up two hours' worth of lessons into just TWO MINUTES
your body language amazing
Awesome awesome tips
What a great mom you have, wish you best of luck
Yet to hear as good speaker as Dananjaya at the world champions of public speaking.
I can't believe that a World Champion of Public Speaking (Toastmasters International top honor) suggests that we, as speakers, keep our hands off of the podium. That's almost automatic unless you speak while lying or sitting on the stage. You see, the podium is what we walk upon while delivering our speech; a platform used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings The lectern is what we might be tempted to place our hands upon. A lectern is the slant-topped high desk that you as the speaker stand behind and use when reading your presentation notes. To remember lectern, think the desk that holds your lecture notes. A podium is a raised platform on which a speaker stands during a presentation. To remember podium think podiatrist - which is a foot doctor. Dananjaya Hettiarachchi, you're a great speaker...good enough to win the WCPS. I admire that. You fall short when you show you don't know the difference between a podium and a lectern. I haven't won the WCPS, so I defer to you on that. I have made a nice living speaking and coaching emerging speakers, and I happen to know the difference. (And I teach that difference to my students.) Now (if you even come around to see this message) you know the difference too.
Technically speaking, yes, you're right. However, podium and podium-stand are now used interchangeably to mean Lectern. The average person doesn't know the distinction and as he's speaking to the general public, I'm guessing he opted to use a common word to enable clarity (than having to explain the meaning of the right word).
Both "Podium" and "Lectern" are common words. A speaker worth their salt should know that. Where in the world did you come up with "podium and podium-stand are now used interchangeably to mean Lectern"? @@SaffariRose
@@aljensen5912 What world do you live in? Ask a random person what a lectern is, and get back to me with their answer. To be frank, you simply sound jealous and outright petty; traits that a supposed 'public speaker' should desist from.
Great one
Thanks for the informations! This will be a great help for my speech contest tomorrow ^^
Good tips. I would add one more which is equally important: Don't move too much while presenting. I have seen many people making that mistake. It is extremely distracting for the audience.
Moving a lot is fine but disturbing if the movement is annoying especially when the moving is a anxious nervous tick. Lots of strong speakers have movements it's just powerful and expressive. Movements are only bad if they communicate what they dont intend that doesnt support what they are saying, such as showing their anxiety
I agree sir, thanks for upload this video.
Proud Sri Lankan 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Great tips

Nice to see a srilankan succeeding
