How to give a good lecture?
I’m a Personal Trainer specialised in Advanced Anatomy & Physiology, Health & Fitness Appraisal, Nutrition and Weight Management, Endurance/Strength/Power & Bodybuilding Training.
Even though with my experience in this industry, I am going to work for Steiner, a recruiting company for spa, health & fitness centres aboard cruise ships.
I will have to give seminars, lectures.. And this is worrying me a lot. How to communicate with the public and make the lectures easy for them using terms they would understand? e.g. lecturing about general health.
Is it the actual lecturing that worries you……do you get nervous speaking in front of crowds? Or are you more worried about what to actually talk about that will be interesting yet not too technical? Maybe a little bit of both? Remember that the audience is there because they are interested in what you are going to talk about and are not there to judge you. That should hopefully make you feel more at ease. And in regards to using terms they would understand, practice your lectures in front of friends that are not as knowledgeable as you and make sure they can understand what you are talking about. They can stop you as soon as you start to get too technical, and you can make notes on your lecture to simplify that part of the lecture. I think the people that give the best lectures are those that are confident, knowledgeable, and relaxed. If you speak from the heart and not read from notes, even better. Have your lecture outline memorized but don’t try to memorize word for word. Good luck!
