Public Speaking Like a Pro (pdf)

 

According to Psychology Today, the biggest fear for most people is not heights, not starvation, not being robbed, no – not even death – it is public speaking. It’s a shame because there really isn’t anything particularly scary or dangerous about public speaking. But, it kind of feels like you’re prey because everyone is staring at you, and sometimes it feels as if people are waiting for you to mess up.


But, the truth is, no one is waiting for you to mess up and everyone who is watching you is actually rooting for you. Plus, if you’re the expert they have no idea if you mess up or got something wrong. It’s all in your own perception, really. That’s what causes your fear, too. If you can change your perception and realize that no one expects perfection, you’ll actually start enjoying your talks.

The more you enjoy your talks, the more your audience will get from them, too. So let’s jump right into it and try to understand how to overcome fear while speaking in public.
