FEAR is a strong emotion that instills tense feelings to both rational and irrational beings...For instance, in public speaking...Are you afraid to deliver your speech because you hear an unbearably loud beating of drums inside your chest, your hands are cold, you got abdominal pains, you think that you might forget some lines or worse forget the whole piece, then, people will laugh at you, etc.?

Public Speaking - Owning "The Skills" Part II
In order to present at the top, in order to acquire The Skills, you must remember three rules that govern everything you do whilst presenting. They're really quite simple, but sometimes it's easy to forget the simple things, and these rules must remain in the forefront of your consciousness at all times.

Public Speaking - Who Is Your True, Authentic Self?
Each of us has something unique and special to bring to our speaking engagements. It's how you connect with your audience and make your presentation about them that's most important. Knowing who you are -- and who you aren't -- keeps you honest, authentic, and accessible to your audience. You're perfect just the way you are!

Listen to Every Word You Say - Everywhere, Every Time
The man is an expert in his field. An engineer with more than a dozen years of experience. His work on jobsites long ago proved he knows his stuff. Yet to those of us listening to his presentation, he came across as almost incompetent. Why?

Public Speaking - Seeing Eye-to-Eye Part II
Modern presentation theory espouses a conversational approach to presenting, because that's the way to maximize both comfort and trust between you and the audience. The conversational approach, a modern refinement of the humanist style first made popular in western cultures by president John F. Kennedy, is quite a bit different from the oratory style that most people associate with earlier great speakers such as Winston Churchill.

Public Speaking - Seeing Eye-to-Eye
"Look at everyone in the audience". Just about everybody has heard this bit of advice sometime in their public speaking education. And it's true; when you get up and speak in front of the group, you want to look to everyone in the audience. The problem is, although we were told what to do, we were never really told us how to do it. As result, whenever we see people speak for the first time in class, we observe the phenomenon that we call "Aerosol Eyes".
