It’s very normal to
feel nervous about talking to a group.
Everybody is scared
or at least wary of speaking in public.

#1 fear of most
people is public speaking
If you feel
nervous, you are in good company.

These are normal

Most of us are all
in the same boat here. We are in the same shoes.
IDIOM in good
company, in the same boat, in the same shoes- we all share the same experience
REMEMBER: We’re all
on your side. Everybody wants you to do well.
Try to relax, if
possible.
We are interested
in what you have to say.
If you mess up,
just take a second. Take a moment. Take a deep breath.
We’ll wait.
Then keep going.
No need to
apologize. Don’t apologize.
Four Tips/Pieces of
Advice I Gave My Children for Public Speaking
1. Deaf
grandmother- speak up, speak a bit louder than usual, slow your rate of
speech down a bit, slower than usual
2. Good dog!-
energetic tone, energy in your voice, animated, avoid monotone
3. Magic eye
– eye contact, right between the eyes
4. Wavy hands- hand gestures, be careful of pacing
It gets easier with practice.
If you see a presenter that you like, copy some aspects of
their style.
