What is the most interesting non technical topics for presentation?
Question from Quora
The answer is what is interesting in your life? Should your topic have life; as in the desire to tell others?
Everyone has stories, some funny, some human interest, even success, and failure. Never be afraid, to be honest!
Writing the speech takes lots of practice and some ability to write coherently, this sadly was never my skill. Most people have hobbies, eg, running, biking, even driving, these are in my opinion a perfect time to create a speech in your head.
Being in the Landscape Maintenance business for years, I mowed lots of big properties, then listening to XM talk radio, the day Black Friday ( big shopping day in the US ) as the conversation when on about how crazy the shoppers were?
Then I thought what a great topic for a speech. As a Toastmaster then almost a year every speech I gave, I had to read, and reading speeches is a learned talent. I was very bad! When Presidents speak they use teleprompters 3 to read from. So they always appear to be looking at the audience. If you are reading from notes, it becomes a much-practiced talent to share your eye contact with the audience.
If you wrote your speech in your head, you need no notes. Whether you use MS word or your brain, find something that interests you, and then tell the world.
I do suggest visiting a Toastmaster club, where you gain confidence and get the support and you will learn the skills and how to create an interesting speech.
The three most important skills: practice, practice, practice.
Very good
