"With public speaking, the public will know if you do not repeat it." Colleen Kettenhofen

We all recognize that public speaking is one of the biggest fears for most people. If speaking in a meeting or a group of 400, makes many people nervous and before giving a presentation. One comment I often hear in my seminars conference are: "What is the best way to overcome nervousness and gain confidence speaking in public?" Here are some provensecrets very public speakers practice:

1. Your audience will know if they are unprepared. Respond to cues in your body language. 95% of its success is determined before the show. Practice minimizes 75% of your nervousness. Nobody likes to say. Instead, see if you can make a friend videotape you or a colleague. Yes, I understand that nobody likes to see themselves in video is! Still, the camera should be your allies more objective.

2. Whenrefine your presentation, repetition and practice in front of family, colleagues, friends, or a public speaking coach. Ask for an honest opinion. What he likes most? What do you think of your level of energy, passion and dedication to what you said? What do you think could be improved? Although the experience in front of a mirror. This practice will help you get up and show what needs to be improved. The more you practice grows and you become more familiar withthe material, the more comfortable he will work with you to speak in public. This one tip alone can significantly improve the ability to speak in public.

3. Publish the submission of a project "on a micro-cassette recorder. Listen to it while driving to and from work, taking children, or the drive to the supermarket. I know what you think." I do not care how I sound on tape it! "I appreciate it. But it is a simple way to quickly learn the material. Again, how do you soundpersuasive, passionate and interesting? As part of the presentation that you think will work? Audio cassette recorder is another ally target.

4. Visualize yourself a successful presentation to give. Better yet, if you know the exact space you're talking to see it. Olympic athletes practice visualization. Works for public speaking as well.

5. To improve the ability to speak in public, not a dress rehearsal. Before presenting a formal speech or breakout sessions on aconferences, take a look inside the room. If the room is empty, I'll go and practice a run "dry". This is something I tried to make the gala tests. If the room is used up in the morning, I go tomorrow.

Practice in the exact room you give it an edge in the most comfortable and overcome fears of public speaking. This is one of the greatest secrets of the speakers public speaking public. Guaranteed! Though usually present in small meetingsor groups using the same techniques work.

6. Are the notes and visual aids large enough print that you can see resurrected? The notes should be "fast food for the eye." Never read your presentation. Are present. Your audience expects to be the expert. You will be connected with them. One secret of effective public speaking is a link with the audience through stories, activities, humor appropriate, and understand their needs in advance.

7. Mind whenpublic speaking. Although only three people to join, send a signal that says, "You are so important that I should stay, even for the three of you." According to a study by the University of Minnesota, when you are in presenting your ideas, you are more reliable, credible and convincing.

8. Allow "center stage" in the presentation of the main point. E 'captured the attention of the public. The rest of the time you can pass as the stimulation is not how long you are nervous like a lion.Again, this is where the help of video recording!

Visual for Public Speaking: Less is More

9. With public speaking and visual aids, more is less. Use no more than three or four colors per slide no. Otherwise, people have begun to focus more on color and less on content. Using graphs of sales data show a trend for a while. Graphics are images that enhances the conservation and understanding. No more than two or three lines on a graph. Use pie charts for the marketparties, budgeting, cost analysis, revenue streams and the like.

10. Avoid chips with printed yellow, pink or orange. They do not appear good. Dark blue, black or dark is better. White goes well with a dark background. Red stands for the negative as "danger" or "warning". Just use red to indicate the problems, competition, stop, or something similar.

11. Public speaking and eye contact three to five seconds of eye contact, in person, with a small orsize of the group. Many public speakers make the mistake of using them as visual aids, such as their presentation. An important point in convincing the public by creating connections and credibility.

12. What happens if someone in the audience do not like what you have to say because I do not like the product or service you sell? Or what if your fear of public speaking, because it is often necessary to deliver bad news? Know your audience and is currently being examined. What will be their biggest concern?Think ahead when planning your presentation, how to deal with matters.

13. Losing emotional control. It is often difficult for people trying to rattle the cage. They want control. And they want the front of the others. What happens if I ever discount what you say? Feel respond to them in the first place. After a while, 'something that says: "It's a good point, but because of limited time to see me at break and talk in private." Your audiencetry to see how the situation is able to manage.
