FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

Why do people fear public speaking? People fear being laughed at or being ridiculed.  We fear that what we say may not make sense to others.  We fear that we do not possess a certain degree in the command and competence of the spoken language.  We fear of making mistakes. 

Conquering the fear of Public Speaking

How to Conquer the Fear of Public Speaking?

Can we really conquer the fear of public speaking and overcome the nervousness when asked to say a few words at staff and company meetings, or when appointed by the management to deliver a presentation to the staff, management, clients, prospects or suppliers?

Present with Poise & Purpose

Do we make ourselves understood when we speak? Do we put across our message clearly and coherently? Do we know the importance of listening attentively, intently and actively? What are the delivery skills we need to possess? Do we express ourselves clearly and correctly?

How do we communicate?

HowHow do we communicate?

We communicate visually, vocally and verbally. The percentage and weightage vary on the personality, character and style of the individual. Extroverts are more visual in the way they speak and present. Others are strong vocally, evoking intensity and tonality when they convey their message and ideas.

Improve your communication skills

Primarily, we are speakers and communicators, not performers. We need to be less dramatic and theatric when we speak before any group. The audience will find it distracting and disturbing with our overuse and abuse of body language.
