Advice on Public Speaking

 

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

Everybody is scared wary 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

-                      heart racing

-                      upset stomach

-                      knot in your stomach

-                      butterflies in your stomach

-                      jittery, 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.

 

If you mess up, just take a moment. Keep going. Don’t apologize.
