Reflections |

In all the years I have been training people in
presentation skills, there's one topic that comes up on
every course - "how can I stop being so
nervous?".
And there's no one easy (or even difficult)
answer to that since everyone is different and everyone has
different things to face.
But there's one thing nearly everyone has in
common that just changing would help them to handle their
nervousness - and that's their focus! Yes, their
focus.
By that I mean, most people are thinking such
things as "I hope I don't
make a fool of myself" "I wonder
what they're thinking of me?" "I
wonder if it's coming over OK", "What if my mind
goes blank" .. and so on.
See where the focus is? On 'me' 'my' 'I' etc.
Change the focus to "what can I share with my
audience", "what do they need to know" - and you
are more than 50% of the way there.
There's a lot more about this. It's all contained
in my audio course, available
here. |
