In a world full of content, what really cuts through is authenticity. That’s especially true in public speaking. People don’t remember every word you say—they remember how you made them feel. Being real, human and honest is what truly connects.

At The Presenter Studio, we’ve produced some of the UK’s biggest presenters. And we’ve learnt that the best communicators aren’t the most polished—they’re the most relatable. They’re confident in their message, but they’re also grounded in who they are.

So how do you speak authentically? First, use your own words. Avoid jargon or scripted lines that don’t sound like you. Speak the way you speak in real life—with a bit more clarity and purpose.

Next, share something personal. You don’t need to tell your life story. But a well-placed anecdote or insight can help you build a connection with your audience.

Finally, remember that authenticity doesn’t mean winging it. It means preparing well enough that you feel relaxed and in control—so your personality can shine through.

If you want to develop a natural, confident speaking style that still delivers impact, our bespoke coaching is here to help. Find out more at https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training
