Courtney Martin - Leading TEDWomen conference - said that there are universal tips that can assist any person to feel comfortable on stage and learn how to communicate their ideas to the public. Here they are.

1. Do not play a role, be yourself. All participants of the conference, Martin warns: "Be just is." You can examine previous performances in order to learn something useful, but do not try to copy someone else's style. Do not try to inspire by force, just be yourself.
2. Do not spray on a few points. Convey one, but qualitatively. When Martin spoke at the TED itself, she had nine minutes to share your thoughts about feminism. Will there be enough this time to cover everything? Not. Most likely, you will be limited in time, so to speak only about important things.

3. A good story - the key to success. Rather than just share information, Martin advises to turn it into a story. "History - is the best way to process information."
4. Be emotional. Telling the story and knowing that you look a lot of people, it is easy to withdraw into themselves. Instead, try to convey every aspect of the story. How did you feel, smell, color, texture - the audience will be able to learn from it.
5. The power of three. Always highlight the three most important points you want to share.
6. Do not use jargon. Martin offers the following rule: "Write your question in the form of a letter to a friend, who does not understand in your activities." So you can get rid of jargon that the audience does not understand.
7. Surprise your audience. Shake the audience, expressing bold thought and, of course, on the grounds of her. Otherwise, the audience can start to get bored.
8. Be vulnerable hero. "People do not want to hear about superheroes, - Martin said. - They like people who understand something new in his journey. "
9. Before the performance to do what you afraid. So you nervous in advance and will be able to reach the scene more relaxed. Martin, for example, spends one more appearance before the other speakers.
10. Do not be afraid of stumbling. "You should not be the goal to perform perfectly. Ideal - boring. Your task - to perform inspirational and convey to the audience his thoughts. "
11. Do what you feel cool. The section in question and answer Martin asked what clothes should be worn on the show. "Wear what makes you feel cool, - Martin said. - If it's running shoes, so shoes if heels - so be it. "
12. Afraid - naturally. "People are afraid to go on stage, often perform better than others. The biggest fear - appear imperfect, but your weaknesses - it's what the audience will react more positively than negatively, "- said Martin.
