Close your eyes……
Think of all the qualities of a great speaker you have heard
Picture someone you thought was a terrible speaker
People can’t see you are afraid – so don’t tell them.
They are already nervous for you.
They don’t want you to bomb – it hurts them.
Learning to neutralize your

Adrenalin is produced and you need it
Fight or flight response
Know you subject – preparation is everything
Change the conversation from internal conversation to begin talking to the audience – imagine the adrenalin and embrace the energy
Dale Carnegie
“What really matters is that you're speaking about
something you really believe and really want to say to this group, and something that
you REALLY know, either from experience or intense study.”
Visualize success.
Prepare well.http://
