public speaking 3 The Head Start of Introverts in Public Speaking

An introvert may be someone who dreads standing up in front of a large audience to give a presentation. Compared to an extrovert who is excitedly looking forward to a presentation, an introvert would rather that it was over.

However, an introvert has a good head start with public speaking when matched up against an extrovert – because public speaking is more than just standing up on stage.

The introvert understands the importance of what goes on behind the scenes prior to a presentation. In the days prior to the speaking engagement, the speaker should put all his thoughts, ideas and props together. It takes determination and skill to put together many different things into one cohesive presentation designed to wow a crowd.

Preparation is sometimes a solitary thing – like writing. An introvert will find it easy to get away by himself to shape his ideas. Without assistance, introverts can gain access to relevant information, put it down on paper and build a presentation around the gathered information.

Solitude is the environment where an introvert thrives. He will find it easy and stimulating to read, research, create and construct ideas alone.

Comparatively, an extrovert may not find it easy in the beginning. While he enjoys talking, he may not be able to build a text by himself. He may need to ask other people for help with research and in terms of putting ideas together. He loves to be the presenter – the center of attention. He can discuss ideas no matter how related or unrelated they are, and that may prove to be a problem. He would need more time and probably more help in consolidating only the relevant ideas to his presentation.

The introvert understands that the room may contain many people who have different questions. While he would rather avoid them, he can construct his presentation in such a way that he delivers a message that answers those questions. Being a reflective individual and keen on details, he will conduct extensive research that will supply the needed information. He wants to deliver something of quality – something that will leave no stone unturned – so that people will not have to come up to him to talk.

The extrovert may find it extremely uncomfortable to sit down and mull over ideas and possible thoughts the audience might have. Uncertainty drains him. Without stimulation, an extrovert may leave his preparation to go out and talk to somebody. He has less desire to plan his presentation and will eventually settle for what he has come up with, regardless of quality. He will rely on his capacity to wing out the presentation using his verbal skills.

Because of good preparation, the introvert knows exactly how his presentation will turn out. He has taken time – alone – to understand how things work and he knows that they work.

The audience, no matter how big a crowd it is, will not faze him.
