It’s very normal to feel nervous about talking to a group.

Everybody is scared of speaking in public.

#1 fear of most people is public speaking

If you feel nervous, you are in good company.

 

when faced with an opportunity to do some public speaking-

autonomic responses – unconscious, automatic body responses, we can’t control them

-                      nervousness

-                      upset stomach

-                      knot in your stomach

-                      butterflies in your stomach

-                      jitters, shaky hands

-                      sweating

-                      clammy hands

-                      vision blurred

-                      tunnel vision

-                      voice cracks

-                      have to go to the bathroom

-                      red face, blush

-                      mind goes blank

 

These are normal and predicable responses.

We are all in the same boat here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Tips for Public Speaking

1. Deaf grandmother- speak up or use the mic

2. Good dog- energetic tone, animated

3. Magic eye – eye contact

Reframe in my mind- no group, just individuals

 

EXTRA TIP – mic usage, proximity to your mouth
