Don't let the fear of public speaking eliminate the many opportunities to succeed
at work. There are several ways that you can overcome your public speaking phobia.
One of those ways is to simply pretend that you are confident.
That's right - feign self-assurance! Why? People see the exterior: someone that has
a smile on his face and can hear your clear, strong voice speaking knowledgably and
engagingly about a topic won't be aware of your knocking knees or pounding heart.
How can you act more confident? Here are 7 simple tips:
- Offer to speak when the opportunities present themselves. Other people share your
fear of public speaking and that keeps them from presenting. That leaves a vacuum…
that you can fill!
2. Smile when called upon. Don’t frown or shake your head. Stride
confidently up to the stage, shake the hand of the person who introduced you, face
the audience and make eye contact.
3. Breathe! Inhale and exhale to help calm yourself
down.
4. Remember that even though you’re scared to be up there, most people can’t
even make it that far!
5. Be prepared. Know what you want to say before you have to say it. This requires
doing some homework and practice, but the confidence & credibility it will give you
will be unmatched.
6. Before going up to the front, look around the room for a couple
friendly faces of people. When you take the stage, look for their faces again and
make eye contact. Those faces smiling back at you, will help to give you the confidence,
assurance and support that you need to begin speaking.
7. Try to focus on your audience and don't worry what are you going to present. If
your concern and care is on the audience, you won't have time to worry how you perform!
Many people will agree, the hardest thing is getting started. If you are prepare,
you will be more relax. The rest will be more on how do you CONNECT with the audience
by your ENERGY and HEART! Find out more from our monthly The Power of Attraction
