For some people, their is publicly to talk about fear so problematic, they consider it their biggest fear in life. I have wrote something to the reasons of the fear of public speaking in previous posts. In this text I would like to give practical tips you can use immediately. Here are five tips and one common sense ' ultimate secret Ninja methods just for you.

First - knowledge of the place.

You have to get used to the situation. Go, you will speak with to the space. Are in the place you are in the conversation. If it is possible to do a dress rehearsal (according to when the conditions permit, but also helps, that in your mind). This, that sample, also walking distance from the seat, which, the click on the stage seating will be. Everything as it was a real event. The point, that is, that body and mind must get used to this situation. We fear what is unknown, so is the objective to introduce this situation.

Secondly - you know the audience.

If you can make only these people, who will be the audience before the speech. Learn as much about them as you can. Ask questions which you customize your presentation, what they need and expect. If you previously cannot meet them, you eliminate early on the day of the presentation. Have a chat with one other early arrivals. During a speech you keep eye contact with them from time to time. If you had a good relationship, this will be very helpful.

Thirdly - you know your material.

Samples it loudly on a mirror. Do it several times. How to visit a real presentation were to samples. Not as an exercise only handle, you act, think of how it was a real event, there are people sitting before. Gestures would be doing here, have this vote as you were talking to a real people. If you have questions, some friends, a role of the target group for you. If you do not agree, you can use your dog for this purpose.

Fourthly - take visual notes.

People see something, is that not only repeating that you saved, however, that you really your speeches have been integrated with what. Of course if you know your material well being large, what is important to know this out, should be deep and inside and not just stored. Some mental card can help with that.

When you start preparing for your speaking event, and if you do a speech, you should focus on one thing. Value people to listen to you. The essential thing is to get somehow enriched you want something good to them that feeling, you should by this session. This idea should guide you through the entire process, from the date of acceptance of the German-speaking invitation to the last minutes of the presentation. This will take you in quite different position, if you your power on ' question simply me, whether they like what I say '. If you like thinking, it is the audience, something to you, and you are on the position of the dependency will be. It is not the right way. Focus on type, disappears on trying to get, and many of your fear to speak publicly. This is to speak of a kind of inner game.

6Th place - imagine a physical movement.

The last tip is less "common sense", the the previous ones. Use it if you are only two seconds before the presentation starts. Do some physical activity. If your audience is not displayed, you can submit quick knee. In other cases, clench your fists and relax them, or anything else to do, the less visible. Combine it with change in your body position make some steps. This is very likely that your change immediately emotional state.

One the most important advice, public speaking anxiety

I thought if it is a single piece of advice I could give any person suffering from fear to speak publicly. Although I really don't think there are universal solutions in this area, I noticed that it is one thing that may be helpful to you. This advice is about yourself, don't think that your audience think.

There you will see some 'biofeedback' is called. This is a process of speed up any physical symptoms that can occur just by you to watch. For example, if you feel peace of mind and it manifests itself in your body as deep, normal breathing, you feel even deeper rest by observing your deep breath. If you think, fear and shaking hands it pushes's through let you be your fear even bigger, if you shake your hands say thought about would be. Sometimes while coaching a client would tell me "I really fear that situation am." I may not be to make good impression as I should, I can make some stupid mistakes, I can freeze and forget everything what I say... ". Sometimes do the same?

If so, you realize that you yourself constantly think about. Try a different angle. Beginning about your audience. Why the meeting will be a conversation which you came to the Conference, or whatever is? What do you expect? What was they feel that it would come to value the time and effort? How can you add value to your life? Only in this way of thinking and it is very likely, you reduce your stress a lot will focus. It is very simple but very powerful position. Also you will experience some fear it much easier to handle if you will just focus on added value for people instead of thinking "Oh my God!" My hands tremble! ". Try this advice before you would test any other solutions.

5 Ways to do more live your target audience

You have a boring speech and you never sleep? Your head start to adopt as you fight envy of the packing slip, fortunately, in country z or never have your spirit came during the deaf person presentation? Although you seem to listen carefully to what you really think millions of tasks await you at home.

Of course, this happened us more than we like admit all. However, don't let come to you when you are the speaker. The key to keeping your audience to take a mental exit is to involve the in your speech. Yes! Studies show that involve the more you your audience, the more they keep. Why? Because they are listening!

You can integrate the public ways, and I just 5 to my favorites below. Choose those that work with your presentation and who feel real to you. If it feels uncomfortable, it seems uncomfortable - do not use.

1.maladie ask questions.
Questions will result in your audience trying to think of an answer. They cannot help it - this is just how our brain is wired. If the energy in the room starts to drop, ask a question and choose a member of your audience to respond. Please him or it to participate, then skip to the next person. Don't worry lose control of your target audience. Sales guru Brian Tracy says, "what he (she) that pose questions is under control". Personally, I prefer questions like "how many of you...", and so I ask Freehand. These closed questions to get the audience involved both mentally and physically.

2. Connect your sentence.
For example, if you told the audience, "Lions, Tigers and bears..." and not complete the phrase, what do you think they would say? As long as they are familiar with the film the wizard of Oz, they would respond with "" Oh my! "" It is a pleasure to get your audience to participate. If they don't know the answer, will be the blurt; if they fail to do so, you meet the. Select something that should be so obvious, they get absolutely.

3 High-five.
This is one of my personal favorites, and if you've attended one of my conversations you have had a direct witness. If you ever feel as energy in the room is large, you can change it using this technique. Simply ask a question (don't forget the power of asking questions). Ask, "is it good things?". When your audience responds with "Yes", said "then turn to the people on both sides of them and give them a top-five and say:"This is good stuff!"»" Most people go out a kick to it. But if you have someone in your audience, who do not wish to participate, calm some people on it. will not simply have fun.

4 to do exercises.
I learned this trick of the famous millionaire, t. Harv Ecker, when I took its course "Train the Trainer". He says "Get your audience to do the job". To do this, ask them to divide into groups of two or three (with people they don't know) and give them an exercise that is congruent with the presentation. Subsequently, ask them to openly share with the rest of the Group and thank them for doing so.

5 Give candy.
Reward your audience to participate, and they want to participate even more. Simply ask a question, and when someone answers it, gently mix a small piece of candy for this person. I find that this chocolate works best. You can find, it becomes a game and people will compete for the chocolate. I use it not throughout the course of my speech together, only a few minutes in the middle of my speech.

There are many other means and technical to involve your audience. What is important lecturer, enabling you to reach many different ways that you can think, is relevant to your audience and for you as a speaker. Believe me, we thank you for your willingness to public.
