Public Speaking - How to Become a Better Public Speaker
Public speaking is an important topic in everyday life. And it's become more and more important each day.
Every one of us has spoken in public at least once. And most of the feel anxious when they need to speak in front of other people. So how do you get rid of that anxiety?
In this article I want to teach you how you can become a better speaker through managing your anxiety.
Practice is Everything
To get rid of your anxiety you need to practice. Practice is what ultimately makes you a lot more comfortable while speaking in public.
To begin with you should start slow and just try to speak as often as possible in front of friends or people you are familiar with. Once you feel comfortable holding a speech in front of your friends you then move on to speaking in an unfamiliar environment. Once you have managed to master that you move on to a more difficult setting.
That way you will improve each time you speak in front of people because you challenge yourself.
Challenge is Everything
To get rid of your anxiety you naturally have while holding a speech you need to challenge yourself. Not only challenge yourself but also your beliefs. Only then can you grow.
What does this mean? As I've shown above you should always plunge into unfamiliar environment. Something you just aren't used to. You will never truly get rid of your anxiety if all you do is to deliver presentations in front of your friends. Because once you have to speak in front of people you are unfamiliar with you will feel the anxiety creeping back up again.
Support is Everything
Everyone single one of us needs support. There are of course a number of reasons why you might need support. Public speaking can be one of them.
It can be extremely hard to follow up on the strategies I have mentioned above. That's why a close friend will always be helping you to keep you going.
Sometimes you are going to feel like this is just crap or that it's not worth and that's okay. We all doubt our decisions from time to time. But don't let that stop you. Always keep thinking of that dream of you being able to deliver a presentation without any anxiety at all.
