The truth is, you learn how to conquer fear of public speaking and I'm about to give you a tip on how to do so. In less than five minutes, I'm going to show you some of the most well-kept secrets about what it really takes to overcome your fear of public speaking..
You see, one of the biggest mistakes people often make when they speak in public is they have the wrong purpose in mind.
Let me explain...
Whether you realize it or not, you probably unconsciously feel like your purpose in speaking is to get everyone in the audience to approve of you. If you were to analyze your behaviors towards public speaking, you would see this concept hold true even if you don't realize it...yet..
In fact, I would go so far as to say the more you try and get your audience to approve of you, the worse off you'll do. Sure, you want them to like you and react well to your message but this need not be your main focus.
When preparing your presentation, do you find yourself changing and rechanging much of your content because you fear your audience might think it's "dumb?"?
Truth is, thinking this way isn't helping you a bit when it comes to overcoming nervousness in public speaking. I think you know this already. It's not your fault though, that's the way you were programmed.
This is nothing to be ashamed or embarassed of as we ALL do it. As human's we are programmed to always seek acceptance from other people.. There's nothing inherently wrong with it at all. The good news is, now that we're aware of it, we can begin to shift our focus towards our true purpose - which it to give something useful to your audience.
The truth about public speaking is no matter how good a job you do...Not everyone of your audience members will agree with what you have to say.. In a large group there always exists a diversity of opinions, judgements, and reactions. Some positive, some negative.
Therefore, simply keeping this fact in mind will do wonders in helping you overcome your public speaking fears. Now that you know you don't have to impress everybody, you can focus your energies on delivering something of value to your audience.
