As an Executive Voice Coach and Communication Skills Trainer I coach and mentor people to speak better in public situations. For many, it could be formal situations like board presentations, mainstream media opportunities or international speeches at cross country negotiations. At other times it could be for informal situations addressing team members, giving farewell or welcome to the company speeches or just interacting better with colleagues.
One of the small, but I believe very powerful tips I received years ago when I was a professional Opera Singer, was to rehearse in your shoes. The shoes that you are likely to wear at the event. It is important for several reasons:
If you don't have the right shoes, find some. Give them a special place in your wardrobe and rehearse in them often. Make sure they are clean and presentable when you speak as well. We often judge a person by their shoes. So stand up and stand out!

I really need your guidance right now, sir. I want to be better at using my feet, and I could really need some pointers from you. I hope that you can help me with this problem of mine. I know that it is difficult to do it, but believe me, there is nothing more that I want to do that this. I just wish that I can keep on doing it with the best of my abilities, that is my wish.
