Alter Your Handwriting, Improve Your Public Speaking

When I was reading this morning from a book titled: Brain Writing*, I found an excerpt by the writer that I thought I should pass along. The writer explains a technique that she uses just before making a speech that helps her to concentrate. One such exercise I’ve known about is to make connected figure eights over and over. Her techniques are new to me. From a graphologist’s perspective, they make sense. Here are her words:


If you do not normally write small, learning to write in a more concentrated way can be a help before speaking or doing anything that is important to you. If you are making an important presentation, taking the time to write, even for only five minutes, can help you become more centered and keep you mind on track. The writing should be done as fast as is comfortable, without trying to make it look too perfect.

I am a medium-size writer. Whenever I need to make an important speech or presentation, I try to take the time to sit down, preferably about a half hour before I must make the presentation, and write smaller than I usually do. The smaller writing helps me to focus completely upon the work at hand and usually intensifies my ability to keep my wits as sharp as possible to handle the important task of that hour.

Another such exercise I’ve known about for some time is to make connected figure eights over and over. You may want to try that as well which will help you to relax. Use it before presenting a speech, an interview, or before you have to confront someone about something; it works.
