PUBLIC SPEAKING
DEADLYFEARSOF7
PUBLIC SPEAKING.According to Forbes Magazine, the number one fear in America is
FEAR & ANXIETY74% of Americans have
toward public speaking.
SO AFRAID?But what makes us
DOUBTFear of1
I l_IAny doubt you feel will show in your speech.
Research your topic thoroughly to ensure you know what you’re talking about.
So when you doubt yourself, your audience will too.
Build up confidence and self-assurance to eliminate any doubt.
NERVOUSNESSFear of2
Il I_IGather a few friends, sit them down,
and go through the motions.
Always make sure they ask questions.
Tame your nervous beast through preparation.
Frequently rehearse your speech out loud for the best results.
FORGETTINGFear of3
BLANK.
“And another point I wanted to bring up was… uh… so…”
I ll IPractice flowing one concept into the
next and commit it to memory.
We’ve all been there: that moment of
awkward silence when you forget what
you’re going to say next.
Memorizing a basic outline for your speechhelps you remember your next points.
TECHNOLOGYFear of4
You can’t always count on technology.
Nothing can throw confidence and preparation out
the window like a presentation malfunction.
Arrive early to the venue and test your
presentation before you present.
And always have a
BACK UP PLAN.
TOUGH AUDIENCES
Fear of5
You can’t control how the audience behaves,
but you can control your emotions.
Develop a thick skin and remember
to always put your best foot forward.
If a joke sinks, brush it off and keep going.
Don’t let a small slip ruin the rest of your presentation.
LOSING TIMEFear of6
Give yourself some wiggle roomto make sure you don’t
RUN OUT OF TIME.
If you’re scheduled to speak for 45 minutes, time yourself to finish five minutes early for Q & A’s.
You can recover from a tangent if necessary.
Get a feel for how long you want to spend talking
about each concept before you start to present.
THE UNEXPECTEDFear of7
The unavoidable fear that something will go wrong, and a lot of times, it does.
An audience member cans ask you a question you’re
unable to answer, or you could get negative reactions
from the entire audience.
Have a recovery plan for failed jokes, tough questions,
glitches in technology and any other curve balls.
You can recover from anything if you
PREPARE.
And the most important thing to understand
about public speaking?
It’s all
IN YOUR HEAD.
So don’t let your fears get in the way of a great speech or an opportunity to share your ideas.
