It’s All in Your Mind
In today’s feature, we showcase Alex Honeysett’s article from The Muse on how to overcome your fear of public speaking—without having to picture your audience naked. Check out my top takeaways below.
- Calm your fears and learn to engage with people by focusing on your message, stop concentrating on your role as messenger, and think about your audience instead
- Learn what your fear feels like, so you can recognise the signs to overcome your nerves; burn off the adrenaline or build in comforting activities into your prep
- Don’t fear the audience members that aren’t on your side, accept that you can’t reach everyone and make eye contact with those who are engaged and smiling
