Transcripts

mau belajar public speaking tapi ragu

kayaknya enggak akan bisa deh Soalnya

saya enggak bakat atau ah Saya meemang

orangnya introvert enggak mungkinlah

bisa jago public speaking orang gak suka

tampil es sebelum menyerah nonton dulu

video ini Hai semuanya selamat datang

dalam video kursus public speaking

bersama saya Maya Rahma dalam video ini

kita akan bahas pertanyaan yang sering

banget ditanyain yaitu public speaking

itu bakat atau latihan ya terus orang

dengan kepribadian introvert bisa enggak

sih jago public speaking saya akan bahas

satu persatu dimulai dari menjawab

pertanyaan public speaking itu bakat

atau latihan pertama yang perlu kita

pahami kemampuan public speaking itu

sebenarnya sama seperti kemampuan

lainnya yang wajib kita kuasai salah

satu Survival skills lah ya kayak

berenang naik sepeda nyetir mobil masak

atau sejumlah skills lainnya jadi

jawabannya tentu dengan latihan Semua

orang pasti bisa menguas ainya asal mau

belajar dan berlatih tapi kalau untuk

being professional on it mungkin ada

faktor bakat dan Passion ya di sana

misalnya kita ambil contoh kemampuan

menyetir mobil semua orang kalau mau

belajar dan berlatih pasti bisa kan

nyetir mobil tapi kalau mau jadi

pembalap misalnya enggak Semua orang

bisa Kenapa karena mungkin mereka enggak

punya cukup passion di sana buat seorang

pembalap nyetir seharian mungkin enggak

bikin mereka bosan malah makin senang

dan membara tapi buat orang lain yang

mungkin enggak punya passion di sana

enggak akan sanggup untuk latihan nyetir

terus-terusan ya kan lama-lama bosan dan

endurance latihannya itu tidak sebesar

si pembalap tadi Nah dalam public

speaking itu juga sama untuk orang-orang

yang senang menjadi pusat perhatian dan

merasa nyaman melakukan aktivitas

berbicara atau ngomong terus Artinya

mereka punya passion di sana sebenarnya

aku tuh lebih suka menyebutkan passion

ya daripada bakat karena maksudnya

adalah ketertarikan lebih terhadap

sesuatu dalam hal ini public speaking ya

mereka yang passionate dengan public

speaking mungkin akan menekuni profesi

ini menjadi penyiar news anchor

presenter MC dan lain sebagainya karena

memang kesukaannya di sana dan karena

ditekuni terus-menerus setiap hari

menjadi wajar kalau kemampuan berbicara

mereka lebih dari rata-rata kayak

teman-teman saya yang presenter Nih

misalnya mereka bisa banget gitu cuman

di briefing sebentar aja enggak sempat

latihan kan tapi pas ngomong Hm mereka

bisa jelasin dengan tenang tepat dan

lancar kalimatnya nyambung terus enggak

belepotan again itu hasil dari latihan

yang selama ini mereka lakukan tapi

bukan berarti orang lain enggak bisa

jago public speaking karena kembali lagi

pada dasarnya tadi sama seperti Survival

skills lainnya public speaking skill

adalah kemampuan yang bisa dikuasai

semua orang asal mau belajar dan

berlatih hanya saja sampai di mana nih

kita melangkah seekpert apa kita dalam

public speaking itu ditentukan sama

passion itu sendiri seberapa banyak kita

mau berlatih dan berusaha Oke jelas ya

selanjutnya pertanyaan kedua seorang

introvert itu bisa enggak sih jago

public speaking pertama jangan salah

Banyak loh tokoh publik yang bisa

berbicara dengan baik di depan umum dan

ternyata mereka adalah seorang introvert

contohnya Bill Gates JK Rowling Elon

dan kalau versi Indonesianya ada

radtiadik Jadi apakah bisa introvert itu

menjadi public speaker yang baik tentu

bisa banget Jadi sebenarnya public

speaking itu bukan perkara introvert

atau ekstrovert tapi seberapa banyak

kita mau belajar dan berlatih terus

pertanyaan lanjutannya biasanya adalah

lah tapi enggak Adil dong kalau orang

yang ekstrovert kan bisa langsung aja

gitu PD ngomong di depan umum enggak

demam panggung kayak introvert jangan

salah masing-masing pribadi menghadapi

challenge yang berbeda-beda loh dalam

upaya menguasai kemampuan public

speaking ini untuk introvert yang

orangnya lebih mengamati berpikir dan

analitis dia biasanya sudah punya

ide-ide atau buah pemikiran yang Brilian

nih di kepalanya jadi dia udah tahu apa

yang harus diutarakan sebenarnya sudah

tersusun rapi di otaknya hanya saja

challenge-nya dia adalah menerobos rasa

ketakutan atau ketidaknyamanannya untuk

menjadi pusat perhatian menghadapi

audiens yang banyak dalam waktu

bersamaan Karena energi mereka akan

terkuras dengan berinteraksi dengan

orang yang banyak sementara bagi para

ekstrovert orang yang lebih suka

berbicara lebih praktikal untuk mereka

mungkin tampil maju ke depan bukan hal

yang sulit untuk dilakukan karena mereka

memang suka menjadi pusat perhatian suka

dikerubungi Banyak orang tapi para

ekstrovert ini tantangannya adalah

Mereka cenderung berbicara dulu baru

berpikir jadi saking semangatnya dan

menggebu-gebunya nih kalau enggak Dir

rem mereka bisa bicara atau ngomong

omomong terus tapi poinnya enggak jelas

muter-muter jadi When it comes to public

speaking challenge mereka adalah untuk

menahan diri sendiri berpikir dan

menyusun materi agar pembicaraan mereka

lebih efektif dan terarah untuk yang

ambivert yang berada di tengah-tengah

nih ya sedikit introvert dan sedikit

ekstrovert maka challenge-nya ya

gabungan dari kedua itu gabungan dari

berani tampil di depan dan bagaimana

caranya menyusun materi pembicaraan

dengan lebih terarah tapi beda skalanya

jadi seperti itu guys ingat sekali lagi

public speaking itu latihan bukan hanya

bakat dan siapapun kamu introvert

ekstrovert atau ambivert pasti bisa jago

public speaking selama kamu mau belajar

dan berlatih so semangat ya belajar dan

berlatihnya jangan menyerah sebelum

berperang

semangat
