- Smile.
We all know how to do it.
We've done it ever since we were little.
We do it every single day.
But do you realize how powerful the smile is
in public speaking?
Stay tuned to find out.

What is a smile, anyway?
When we smile, all we do is we extend our lips
and maybe lift them up a little bit
and we use our face muscles.
Why is it so important?
Reason number one.
Smile makes you happy.
It really does.
When you smile, you send a signal to your brain
that you're happy, even when you're not
and when your brain receives that signal,
your heart rate slows down,
and when your heart rate slows down,
you feel less stressed, you feel less nervous.
All of a sudden, you feel calmer,
and when you feel calmer, you feel more confident.
You're no longer stressed out and scared.
So a simple act of smiling diminishes your anxiety
and puts you in a better mood.
I want you to try today,
if you are in a situation where you feel a little stressed,
or you feel a little less than confident,
or you have some sort of anxiety going on,
or if you're just not happy,
sit down, relax, and smile.
Give it your everything.
Make sure that that smile is truly happy, genuine smile
and see how you feel
and I guarantee,
you're gonna feel a little happier
and a little calmer right away.
Reason number two,
your smile signals
to whoever is on the receiving end of your smile
that you are confident, calm, and friendly.
So not only your smile put you at ease,
it puts your audience at ease.
It could be just one person you're talking to,
it could be five people, or it could be a huge audience,
your smile not only relaxes you, it relaxes them.
And don't forget, smile is truly contagious.
If you smile at somebody while you're making eye contact,
that other person will usually smile back.
And remember, for that smile to be truly contagious
and truly friendly,
it needs to be sincere.
You cannot get away with a fake smile
and expect miracles to happen.
Your smile needs to be entirely genuine.
Now that we've discussed what smile does,
let's talk about when exactly you use your smile
in your public speaking.
First, you will smile
just before your presentation.
It could be right before you walk on stage
or right before you get introduced
or right before you know you need to stand up
and give your speech.
What you're gonna do is
you're gonna take a deep breath,
exhale,
and smile.
And notice how your body relaxes,
notice how you're calming down,
notice how your anxiety is melting away.
Second,
you are going to smile
at the very beginning of your presentation.
So let's say you were walking on stage,
as you're walking across the stage to the front,
you're gonna smile the whole time
while you are looking at your audience,
or if you're already on stage
and somebody just introduced you and now all eyes on you,
the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna smile.
And again, remember,
we're talking about genuine, authentic smile,
not a fake, cheese smile when we take photos, right.
It has to be really, really meaningful
for it to be contagious.
Number three,
if it's appropriate, smile during your presentation.
Now you could be talking about something very serious,
it could be somber topic,
and you may not be able to smile a lot,
but still, remember, smile
shows your friendliness towards the audience.
Smile really projects your sincerity.
Smile connects you to your audience,
so use it whenever appropriate during your presentation.
And lastly, number four,
smile as you are closing your presentation,
as you're thanking your audience.
This is the last image they're gonna have
of you in their mind.
This is your last impression.
Make it count,
make it sincere, make it friendly, make it confident,
make it calm.
Smile at your audience and you'll project all of that.
So today, as you go about your day
and as you meet new people, maybe strangers,
or maybe you meet somebody that you already know,
practice the smile.
Practice smiling at them in a real sincere way
and watch what happens.
You do it all the time anyway,
I mean, it's not something brand new
that you've never done before,
but I want you consciously pay attention
to what happens when you smile.
What happens to you and what happens to the other person
who's on the receiving end of your smile.
