Fear Of Public Speaking by Deejay1000(m): 3:55pm On Jan 02, 2017 |
This is something that seems to scare many people and I’m one of them. The reason why it is so terrifying is that you are performing in front of lots of people who you may or may not know well. There really is no logic to this fear that most people feel when giving a presentation or speech. Let me try to show you why and how you can become a better public speaker. Public speaking is very much a question of self confidence. But how can you look and feel confident when faced with the challenge of giving a presentation or speech to a large number of people? Firstly, feeling and thinking confidently are connected. What’s more if you feel confident it will show and the reaction you get from your audience will be a positive boost to your confidence which will spur you on to success. Let’s start with the problem though. Being terrified of public speaking. What can you do about this? Try the following: 1. If you have to speak in public then rehearse well and have all the information, notes etc. in advance so that you will feel well prepared. 2.Go over the event in your mind and see yourself coping with the situation well and foresee any potential problems you may have but see yourself dealing even with those with complete confidence. 3. See the speech or presentation as a challenge, a positive opportunity to improve yourself. 4. Learn to slow down when you are under stress, most people panic and rush ahead but you need to calm yourself and slow down, this will look more confident. If you think you look more confident you will feel more Confident Always smile and you will look and feel more confident. 5. Learn to relax your muscles and remove tension from your body ********************* after reading all these steps you might still fail unless you do it continuously till you master it and become a better public speaker. Any one with more useful tips should comment pls. . @AlvanT |

Nicely stated! To be more practical we'll take the following steps; - practicing in front of a mirror -practising in front of your younger siblings -your family -your class/department/office colleagues Then you'll have an edge,I've not seen any feat that have not been achieved with constant practice,think about a skill as sword when you keep sharpening it,it'll be in good shape when you stop it'll gradually get blunt...hope we'll get to face our fears and unleash the true potential within us...adios |
