Public Speaking Training: 3 Steps to Handling Your Public Speaking Fear 

Public speaking is one of life's skills that you absolutely must obtain, if you plan to be a success. Of course, you will not die or live in poverty if you are a poor public speaker, but you will never amount to your full potential. So with this in mind, why is it that so few people are good at standing up in front of an audience, and in-fact over 80% claim that they are more scared of standing up in front of an audience than they are of dying?

Well first of all it can be extremely daunting presenting to a room full of people. When you're up front delivering a public speaking speech, all eyes are on you and there is nowhere to hide. Public speaking also requires the ability to grab a rooms attention, and the ability to present yourself in an effective manner. So how do you overcome your fear of public speaking?

1- Don't sweat the small stuff. Yes, all eyes will be on you, and you might make a few mistakes, but in reality most people fear public speaking, so your audience will admire the fact that you are up there in the first place. Making a public speaking speech takes guts, and no one is out to make a fool of you.

2- Stand tall and project your voice. When you do this, you will notice your shoulders start to relax, you will project an image of confidence and as a result you will feel more confident. Confidence leads to the feeling that you can achieve anything and will help diminish any feelings of anxiety and fear

3- Learn your public speaking speech. Of course you can have key cards in your hand, but don't rely on reading your public speaking speech word for word. When you learn your public speaking speech and are comfortable delivering it, you will subconsciously feel more at ease because you are familiar with what is coming next. You know each phase of your public speaking speech and exactly what to say when. Public speaking can be very daunting. Luckily it is one of life's skills that can be taught and mastered if you get your hands on a good course or book.
