How To Overcome The Fear of Public Speaking

It has been said that the number one fear is the fear of speaking in public. There's a story about a king, hero and lion. One day, a very long time ago, the hero had contradicted the king's statement. To make an example of him, the king decided to put him to death by throwing him into the cage with a ferocious lion. Everyone was invited to witness this merciless act. When the lion approached him, the hero whispered in his ears, which caused him to retreat. Everyone was curious about this turn of events and asked the hero what he had whispered. The hero replied "I told him that he would have to make an after dinner speech." Even the lion has the fear of public speaking.

Here are 10 proven tips to help you deal with your fear:

Rehearse - practice your speech with family and close friends, which will give you confidence later for your audience
Relax - deep breathe before you face the audience to reduce your nervousness and to relax your voice
Feel no pain - there's no penalty if you forget some points or if you do not make eye contact with everyone: you will do well
Just say it - you are the subject matter expert and your audience is there because they are interested in what you have to say
Show sincere interest - be enthusiastic and energetic about your topic and people will mirror your attitude
Use your body - move your eyes, mouth, head, arms and legs as you speak to emphasize and dramatize points and add interest and variety to your speech: this is entertaining to your audience
Smile often - it's infectious: when you smile, your audience smiles with you
Enjoy your spotlight - absorb the applause from your delighted audience as you complete your speech and remember this great feeling for your next one
