Public Speaking is the number one fear. Yet is is an essential business skill. Business leaders must be good speakers. Successful business owners must be confident and convincing to attract clients who want to do business with them. Overcoming fear of public speaking is not something that you can learn about in a book. You must look inside first to discover the root cause of the fear.

A Presentation is a Conversation – Not a Performance!

Tips to overcome this fear:

Become aware of the specific fearful situation

Get to the root cause of the fear by listening to the story you are telling yourself in your head

Challenge the facts that support that story. Look for evidence it is accurate.

Tell yourself the opposite story

Rehearse the conversation or presentation to increase your clarity and confidence

Turn on the light so that you can see there really is no monster under the bed

Shut down the head chatter that is scaring you away.

Remember, the audience does not know they are the ‘audience.’ They simply think they are one person sitting listening to you.

Seek resources to help you build some speaking skills to boost your confidence.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.
