How to overcome your fears when you give a speech on stage

How to overcome the nervousness of speaking in public? I remember that Mr. Sun Jian once shared with us in class:

The most important thing in a speech is to be heartfelt and have a sharing mentality. Don't focus on presenting yourself, focus on what kind of growth you can bring to your audience. Speeches don't have to be good, but what you say has to be useful to others.

It refers to having a sharing mentality during the speech, hoping that what you say can give you some insight and help everyone grow. Sharing-centered, rather than taking-centered, people should know how to let go of themselves, and the purpose of the speech is to let the ideas be transmitted, so that everyone can gain and understand a certain truth.

Tell what you know in a down-to-earth manner: don't exaggerate, don't show off, don't shout, and you'll find that you don't have the burden of speaking in public.

Most speakers are afraid of not speaking well, afraid of being laughed at after speaking, afraid of making a fool of themselves, afraid of not getting everyone's affirmative ......

What are these mindsets? We can call it the mindset of taking. For the speaker, it's an incorrect state of mind.

For those who have a desire for the heart, what you say will not be the most important part from the heart. You have a sense of vanity and put pressure on you to give a good presentation no matter what. You have a lot of pressure and you have to speak well in order for the audience to praise you and praise you.

Speeches don't have to be good, but what you say has to be useful to others. The correct speaking mindset is: sharing.

It's like if you have 10 pieces of candy and give 1 to each of the 10 audience members in the audience, is everyone happy? But if you ask 10 audience members for 1 candy each, will it be very nervous? Which mindset is more relaxed when you have candy for others and when you ask for candy from others?

Undoubtedly, of course it is easier when giving to others!

Mentality determines success or failure. The same is true of speeches.

Share a quote from what I learned in the Heart-to-Heart Leadership Speaking course:

A good speaker is better than spending a lot of energy on learning the relevant speaking skills and methods. Why is it that the vast majority of entrepreneurs are nervous and scared on stage, and they can't give speeches off script? The real reason for this lies in the mentality.

If you stand on the stage, what you are talking about is not for yourself, not from personal interests, but with a good attitude of altruism, which is beneficial to the company, to the leader, and to the partners, then you can confidently and calmly convey your thoughts and resonate with everyone.

If you are always self-centered, thinking at the beginning whether you are handsome or beautiful on the stage, whether there is praise or criticism, then you will gradually become nervous and afraid, and there will be all kinds of problems in your speech, and it is because you have not set the right attitude.

Write your manuscript well in advance and familiarize yourself with the content.

Before the speech, you should write the speech in advance, revise the draft, and the overall content should be wonderful and attractive.

Have a steady mindset and not be afraid of the arrival of the speech.

Many people are not on stage when they are in turmoil, this kind of person is very afraid of speeches, such a mentality will definitely not let their speeches get a good play, to put the mentality steady, flat, so that during the preparation of the speech will be more perfect, when the battle will be excellent.

Find a room and simulate a real combat speech by yourself.

Find a room, set up a table and chair by yourself, and then imagine that you are facing the speech, and then walk on the podium and start vocal exercises, practice a few more times, and the fear in your heart will be eliminated a lot.

Believe in yourself and give yourself courage.

Overcome the fear of going on stage in your heart, give yourself courage, believe in yourself, I can, I can, I believe that I can do a good job, I will succeed a lot if I have courage, I will reap unexpected peace and effect, courage is the first step to take, and self-confidence will allow you to show your speech to the fullest.

Take a few deep breaths before going on stage.

Facts show that it is very effective to take a few deep breaths before giving a speech on stage, and the links that must be done before each speech can relax your mood and make your whole mental outlook much better, which can effectively relieve the tension in your heart.

Take advantage of the three minutes you have just taken to the stage.

When facing a lot of people to speak, in fact, the heart is more or less a little nervous, just on the stage three minutes must be used well, this is the easiest, but also the most suitable time to adjust their hearts, these three minutes are generally to introduce themselves, interact with the audience, this small time period to make good use.

Give your speech with full attention and speak at the right pace.

When speaking, you should enter the state as soon as possible, concentrate on the world of speech, so that your heart will follow the content of the speech, and even break away from your own speech content planning, play an unexpected result, pay attention to body language and speaking speed, and must cooperate well, such a speech is more attractive.

If you want to overcome these nervous emotions, you should have more contact with others, and often talk and do things in crowded places, so as to alleviate the fear of giving a speech on stage.

Try to divert your attention and let yourself relax. Or think of everything in the audience as your best friend, or something that can make you feel at ease.

First of all, before you go on stage, you have to write down what you want to say in the form of an outline. For example, what to say in the first place, what to say in the second, the simpler the better.

Secondly, before you go on stage, you don't have to think about how to get everyone's applause, just be able to explain the problem clearly.

Take a deep breath before going on stage, make sure you have memorized the draft, don't stare at a certain person when you speak on stage, and play steadily.

The more familiar you are with the venue, the less tense it will be. It's very important to arrive early. You and the students, if you arrive early, then it means that you are the owner of the venue, and the students are the guests; If the student arrives first and you arrive last, then you will definitely be very nervous as a guest.

Before the presentation begins, do a simple exchange and communication with the students, which can also reduce your nervousness. Familiarize yourself with all the equipment and operate them one by one. There are a lot of equipment used in the presentation, such as a computer projector or whiteboard.

If you're new to these operations, or if there are some obstacles, it can be very stressful. Self-motivated: Cheer yourself up and build in your mind the belief that I can do it and I will succeed.

Take a deep breath before your speech goes on stage. This is very important, and deep breathing can effectively regulate your mind and relieve your nervous emotions.

Practice more, overcome your fears, and feel more.
