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.

bit
