What is public speaking?
Public speaking can be thought of as a form of sharing via a conversation. No matter whether you are talking to someone one to one, in person, or even over the phone, be it in a meeting at your company, with a few people in a room, or at a big event with hundreds of people in a room – it is still a conversation.
Even when you are recording a video or authoring an article, sharing is always a conversation with a person. Even at an event where speakers are talking on a stage, the best speakers look at each person in the audience. The speaker talks, and the other person responds by nodding their heads or smiling. They reply to you visibly, or in their heads.
Sharing is always a conversation. That is true also for writing: when you write, you’re talking to someone. When you read a book, there is always a conversation. The author is talking to you and telling you what is going on, answering the questions that are in your head.
