Sometimes look at the person inside, so no one can see, admire, the way he holds himself, not afraid of anything and speak confidently in front of a large audience. Though of course the word "big" to different people has a different content, someone in front of two or three people find it difficult to begin to Express their thoughts and position, and for someone the problem begins with the audience of over 50 people. What can be such a metamorphosis psychological as the fear of speech in the classroom? Face it together and select those things that can help to reduce anxiety.
so, there are several major reasons to be worried.
Social assessment. The first thing that disturbs the speaker: "I'll look there, "towering pedestal" in the center? And what do you think of me are all these people?". Yes, they will think and evaluate, but only what You want, or rather will present. Of course, you want to present yourself in the best light, regardless of the information that will go from the mouth, but the information is the whole point. Only working and thinking through his speech, you can be sure that all goes well. A professional in the audience, drew attention to the logic and essence of the message, while allowing some leniency that non-verbal excitement that may be present. Therefore, focusing on the content of speech, You automatically place your attention (and your audience), filling the thoughts with you (and anxiety as you now appreciate), and his "message".
Own perception of the event. Every day, one way or another, buying a travel ticket or a muffin in the cafeteria, we evaluate and form a certain attitude towards us. However, we think little about it, and just buying what you need and move on. And in the case of speech at the event: you can take it as a trip to the store for an important purchase, such as a laptop that will give certain features, i.e., speech in a particular way would raise for a new career step. Or like swimming in the pool when you are not able to swim, but in relation to work performance will be perceived as a loss of competence and status "professional". The choice of your perception for You.
Marking its position for many people. In professional discussions, is setting a trap that, if voiced his opinion, maybe someone questioned, and thus your position. But if you look on the other hand, only in the "dispute born truth" or can be translated into our modern language "only in discussion and debate is born what we are going", and it is a big belief that we make everything right or ability to modify what was missed earlier. Going out to the audience, you need to remember that in some area, people know more and some less, but if You stand and speak "here-and-now", then You have a good knowledge that was given the opportunity to be "here and now".
the Responsibility, who you represent (division, company, organization). Acceptance of responsibility is no excuse. But free from unnecessary worry. Yes, definitely we have a responsibility for the research Department, printed the report of others who work under our guidance, in the end, for a professional product, which is obtained as a result of the activities. And the report is also a product of activities for which responsible, but for the quality of what is submitted for review, already taken care of in the process. Therefore, it remains only to present your creation and show that You do not have labored in vain or labor. If there is some doubt, it is better to eliminate them in the process activities, and not to remember about the cons, when to prepare for the demonstration of results. However, the quality control of the activity – that's another topic for reflection.
the Excitement of the possible tough questions. Sometimes it happens that people are not worried about how he will act, and for that he will ask the tough questions. There are several possible outputs. The first is to examine their weaknesses in the material where there are difficulties in understanding and explaining for himself. And explain and delve into these nuances, which will reduce the anxiety. The second option is to ask colleagues to point out the places that draw attention and require explanation.
Anxiety that is not interesting and people won't listen. Most of the events have a specific thematic focus, where people are interested to present and hear new information that will allow us to move forward and improve their skills. So that this issue can be addressed by itself, knowing that all participants are interested in greater or lesser degree.
Anxiety about if forgotten text. Often even the most good and experienced he prepares and rehearses it several times. But not just repeats, and makes it "special", namely to facilitate memorizing the text, you can highlight words that will trigger semantic structure and expand the essence of the story, i.e. the memorization of associations of a particular text. For example, "...opinion about our project from the English counterparts, helped to modernize production. The word upgrade...". This example shows the memorization by Association "cause-effect", where the speaker is important to present the way of modernization, but it's hard to remember which part of the report is to implement and not to confuse with the other parts of speech. And then modernization may be associated with withdrawal from England (plus you can still imagine the flag).
Now that the basic insidious moments of the performance received the disclosure, is to remember one very important thing - Your confidence be in you! And not one audience will not be able to undermine, if not just your own wild imagination about the fiasco.
life is an interesting thing, and different things and our attitude to them may spoil the mood or elevate in their own eyes. Thus, even random passenger who rides with you in the bus next to the seat, reseeding somewhere in other place, will not be able to make you insecure and that something is not right! ))
All the best and successful presentations to any audience!
