No matter how smart and educated a person is, these factors alone are not enough for career growth. The ability to speak publicly is one of the components of a successful business life. Overcoming fear and performing with dignity in front of a large number of people is a must that can be learned.
Instructions
Step 1
Overcome the fear and tension before performing. Remember that the audience that is going to listen to you needs what you have to say, otherwise they would not be sitting in the room. Think of people as friends. They do not belong to a hostile force and do not wish you harm. Even if you get lost during your speech, the audience will definitely support you. The realization that future listeners do not wish evil and do not wait, rubbing their hands, for failure, in combination with breathing exercises, will help to relax as much as possible and go on stage not squeezed, but calm and self-confident.
Step 2
Consider your appearance before speaking. The neater and more elegant you dress, the more comfortable and confident you will feel. Tasteless, dirty, inappropriate clothing will make the audience think not about the topic of the speech, but about the shortcomings of the speaker. And it is impossible to feel respect for a person dressed in an inappropriate way.
Step 3
To get your audience interested, you must first get interested in them. Show the respect you deserve - step off a hill or stage and stand on the same level. Do not give out information in a solid piece in the form of a monologue. Dialogue with the audience will make the performance memorable and enjoyable, and the informal atmosphere will set the audience in a positive mood. Smile more: like will cause like.
Step 4
Consider the indoor environment. Make the guests as compact as possible, then they will feel different and more responsive to the performance. If alone they did not dare to support some words, the realization that they are in a team will play in your favor. Bright lighting will also play into your hands, in its light you will look as confident as possible.
