I think that's lying to yourself, but if it works then that's great. I believe you should acknowledge that you have a problem and work on it, instead of calling it something that it is not it.

@@XMostaxX That would be true with driving a car, performing ballet or even being into an MMA fight. With those things the result could be bad if you really weren't any good. But if what separates you from a regular conversation with your friends that flows well, and a complete washout of a conversation, is 150 pairs of eyes, then lying to yourself is Legit. Matter of fact, I seriously thought of putting on glasses that blurred everything.

“Speaking is more about listening than talking.” If you get the right components together, you can get people to move. GRACE - It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it. Feet Stop the Hip Bop. Lean on one hip. Then lean on the other. Stop One-Leg Walking. Step forward with one foot again and again. Do the Soft Rock Star Pose. Squarely plant your feet shoulder width apart. Stand first before you speak. Waist Do not do the Swivel Around move. Hands Hand gestures are good, but doing a hand gesture for every point is distracting. Shaking. Give the hands something to do instead (like hold the clicker by the side of the body). Hold onto a hankie and put your hand into your pocket. Don’t use a script Paper begins to rock for you since your hands are shaking. You can’t practice public speaking. You can only prepare how you’re going to feel (physiological responses) when you do public speaking. Condense speech down to bullet points. They become what you say and the stories you tell. CREDIBILITY - The stories you choose to tell and how you tell them. Woodrow Wilson - “If I am to speak for ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days, if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now.” Brevity is tough to do. Use any of the many outline options. It can be as simple as the basic “Tell me what you’re going to tell me. Tell me. Tell me what you told me.” Tell lived-experienced stories. If you use bullet points, start with the picture first. Then add the bullet point after you have finished. Then talk about the next point before showing it on the screen. If all the bullet points are on the screen, people will be reading. RESONANCE - Audience’s role in the talk. It’s how you leave them feeling. Maya Angelou - “...People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” You don’t want people to leave with a sense of meh - no feeling; just information. Instead, humanize the information as much as possible. The presenter of the information needs to give emotional cues to the audience about how they should be feeling at certain points in the story. People will mirror your emotions. JEDI MIND TRICK Calm parasympathetic system before you begin. Breathe deeply and yawn as you match your breathing to the breathing circle that goes in and out. Tell yourself, “You’re not nervous; you’re excited.”

I used to be terrified to speak in front of crowds. Even very small Crowds. The build up And anticipating going into the meeting gets super physical, shaking, sweating, can’t breathe. I have even had to excuse myself, horrible. My high paying job required me to do this. I contemplated quitting my job it was bad because I have a family to take care of. I ended up going to the doctors and they were able to give me something which really helped me get through a couple years and then it got to the point I needed less, and then none. I had built my confidence up enough and I realized I wasn’t going to die standing up there. Another life hurdle behind me.

@justadandak
Ай бұрын
Ah yeh that negative reflective loop and regret - this could be about spending more time preparing what you're going to say. Simple bullet points of stories and how they relate to the topic being discussed. This will help with brevity also (a skill to master) - my fav quote on this is: "Make sure that you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening! " -Dorothy Sarnoff -> again this is about being that preparation - good luck 🙂

I hear you and used to be like that. If you practice breathing slow before any talk for a few minutes then attempt to slow your speaking down a little also, you'll hopefully find that has a massive impact in your oratory practice. You can also add in pauses between your statements, to break up the pattern of speech, which in turn gives you time to deeply inhale as well. Hope that helps and all the best in your future talks.
