Advice on Public Speaking

 

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.

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

IDIOM in good company, in the same boat, in the same shoes- we 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 moment. Take a moment. Then keep going. Don’t apologize.

We’ll wait.

 

 

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. Body language- hand gestures, be careful of pacing
