Imagine that they say to you in your office:
"Note that we have an extraordinary meeting with the Area Directors in 30 minutes and our boss will not arrive until tomorrow, and the presentation will be made by YOU !!!
OOPPSSSSS!
If you are used to public speaking, you will surely have answered: CLEAR, no problem!
Otherwise:
ohoh, PROBLEMS !!!
If you feel nervous before giving the presentation or in general when you are going to speak in public, it is natural and healthy, since the adrenaline allows you to be VERY ATTENTIVE TO EVERYTHING.
Show that you want to do it right, for many the nerves can be fatal: they stutter, they forget everything (they get BLANK), they sweat too much, among many other aspects.
How can you control your nervousness and make extraordinary presentations?
Here are some recommendations and I'm sure: WHAT WILL BE GOLDEN GOLD FOR YOU:
1. Know the place.
Get familiar with where you will speak. Arrive early, walk along the podium or where those who will participate in your talk are sitting.
Practice using the microphone and your presentation (if you have one).
2. Get to know the participants.
Say hello to people who arrive, this allows you to "BREAK THE ICE" at the beginning. It is easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.
3. Know your presentation.
Many times we think "I am an expert on the subject, I will not have problems with my presentation", and that can be very true.
What may also be very true is that you do not know the order of your presentation and leave it to the "there it goes".
YOU CANNOT ALLOW IT, give yourself 10 or 15 minutes to do a mental review with your presentation.
MENTALLY practice your words.
4. Relax.
OOOMMMMMMMM
OOOMMMMMMMM
Or any other mantra will help you to relax.
Release the tension:
• Having a glass of water before starting to speak;
• Taking 3 deep breaths;
• Moving your body to "WAKE UP", feet-legs-pelvis-trunk-arms-shoulders-head.
5. Visualize yourself giving your speech.
Imagine yourself speaking: your voice well intoned, clear and confident.
When you visualize yourself giving your presentation in BRIGHT, it will be your BRIGHT presentation.
6. Don't apologize.
If you show your nervousness or apologize for any problem you have with your presentation, you will be saying (without saying it): "I AM NOT WELL PREPARED, I AM IMPROVISING".
It is very possible that if you make a mistake, only you will notice, perhaps your audience has not even noticed.
SMILE AND GO AHEAD!
7. Transform your nervousness into positive energy.
It is incredible how you can transform your nervousness into POSITIVE ENERGY, when you least realize it you will be finishing your presentation and the nerves will no longer be.
Concentrate on that being so.
8. Do lots of tests.
If yours is public speaking, then what you can do is ask your coworkers, friends, family members to give you an opportunity to rehearse with them on different topics.
Also ask them to give you their views: take what you think is convenient and discard the rest.
Remember the saying:
" Practice makes perfect ", and if you want to be a MASTER BY SPEAKING IN PUBLIC, you must practice, practice, practice, practice, as many times as necessary.
Of course, you should also know that at some point you can be wrong; When that happens to you, learn from that experience, observe how it happened, quickly analyze the entire environment and then: LEARN !!
