Overcome the stress beforehand--Speaking in Public is NOT Inherently Stressful

Stop regard it as stressful. Many people were initially terrified to speak in

public. Yet they learned to eliminate their fear of public speaking completely.

If they can conquer the fear of public speaking, so can you!

All it took was approaching

the problem in the right way.

people dread that something awful, terrible, or publicly humiliating will happen to them.

Think in a positive way! (everything that happens can be used to my

advantage.) Even if everyone walked out and refused to

give me a reason, I could ultimately find ways to benefit from this experience. use it as the opening for next presentation.

ADVANCED PREPARATION

Vickie 陳瑩恩

Advance Preparation

Over preparation! Why over preparation?! reveals your unfamiliarity or insecurity of the

subject self-doubt of your ability to speak in the

public successfully

Advance Preparation Wrong focus!!! Try to give much information to the audience as y

ou can. Try to win the applaud of the audience.

• And it turns out… The complexity of the information is unnecessary!!!

The audience couldn’t remember all the details!!!

Advance Preparation

Only 2 to 3 key points are needed!

The IMAGE of a Public Speaker

Tina 曾沛琳

MYTH:

To be a successful public speaker, you have to imitate somebody else who is extremely perfect.

Although you try so hard to please all your audience, they still criticize your performance very badly.

TRUTH:

Just be yourself. Your audience knows who you are, they do not expect 100% perfection, and they will understand the mistakes you make.

Your audience wants you to succeed, and humility and humor will definitely do you a favor.

DISAGREEMENTS:

You can enjoy throwing yourself in front of a group without knowing specifically what you’re going to say.

→ the presentation will totally be a disaster.

All Your audience truly wants you to succeed.

→ Some feel like tricks out of expectation.
