“How to Conquer Public Speaking Fear”
I have always been a shy person and publice speaking was one of the hardest class for me. Why do you think I am
taking it on the internet? This class is to help me excel in my speaking and speaking in public and I might just need later on. I
recently got a job at Bemis and I have to help with meetings and presentations, which might lead in a change in my major. There
are ten very good principles to help over come the fear of speaking in public and five of them apply to me and what I need to work on
in my speeches and speaknig to the public.
Ten Key Principles
1. Speaking in Public is NOT Inherently Stressful
2. You Dont have to be Brilliant or Perfect to Succeed
3. All You Need is Two or Three Main Points
4. You also Need a Purpose That is Right for the Task
5. The Best Way to Succeed is Not to consider Yourself a Public Speaker
6. Humility and Humor Can Go a Long Way
7. When You Speak in Public, Nothing “Bad” Can Ever Happen
8. You Dont Have to Control the Behavior of Your Audience
9. In General, the More Your Perpare, the Worse You Will Do
10. Your Audience Truly Wants You to Succeed
