Give Toast ! Art of Public Speaking

in #publicspeaking7 years ago

If you have a pulse , you'll probably experience nervousness when you're speaking in front of large groups.


My point is eveyone experiences some kind of mental or physical outcomes from public speaking .

Both seasoned speakers and beginners experience some of the same mental barriers in public speaking .

  • new and unknown situations 
  • risk of Failure 
  • potential for appearing foolish 
  • boring to the audience 

physcial anxiety symptoms are equally experienced by both seasoned speakers and beginners.

  • increased heart rate 
  • butterflies 
  • uncontrollable shakes 
  • lightheadness
  • dizziness

The difference between experienced and green eared Speakers is that  experienced speakers know  how to harness that energy ! 


They've learned how to turn the negative energy into positive energy by managing their mental and physical anxiety . 

Want to give a badass speech ? Here's what you need to do . 

  1. Practice and know your content inside and out.
  2. use visualizations . Visual how you want your speech to go .
  3. Relax your body doing isometric exercise and breathing techniques . 

Before you give your next big  sales pitch or  give a speech to change the worlds view on the next social issue, remember , we all experience the same mental and physcial anxiety triggers and symptoms .


We can also learn how to manage those triggers and turn our  negative energy into positive energy .  You must know your content , train your brain with visuals , physically relax , and remember ; always appear confident .

This was a great read! It really goes hand-in-hand with stage fright/performance anxiety in theatre, which I'll be covering in my blog in the near future.
