Top 5 Myths about Public Speaking Fears

The Top Five (5) Biggest Myths about Public Speaking Fear and Stage Fright

It’s time to set the record straight. ANYONE can be a fantastic, world-class speaker with a little bit of training, a little bit of coaching, and a little bit of practice. It doesn’t take years of study and practice, and it doesn’t take thousands of dollars of investment. One of the hardest things to get across to new presenters is the immutable fact that just about everything that you have ever learned about public speaking and creating good business presentations is flat out WRONG!

The following are some of the biggest myths about stage fright and public speaking training:

Myth #1: Good Speakers have a Natural Talent (Born Speakers)

A Public Speaking Secret…

A Public Speaking Secret – Memorize Your Speech. No, Don’t!

By Connie Timpson/ Sr. Instructor at The Leader’s Institute

“It’s not that long. I can memorize it.” Maybe. But why would you? Memorizing speeches sets you up for anxiety and possible failure. It robs you of spontaneity and creative thought. If someone interrupts your speech to ask a question, you may find that the tumblers on the memory vault have shifted and the words are locked up.

Nothing is worse that standing in front of an audience with panic threatening to knock you to your knees. (Although that might get you some sympathy.) As you search for the words, the audience searches for the exit.

If you accept a speaking invitation, use your intellect, expertise, a three-point outline and all the spontaneity and enthusiasm you can muster. Spontaneity, passion and enthusiasm all provide an instant connection to your audience, and an open door to information and ideas that you have stored in the bank vault. You could become known as an expert who dazzles audiences, rather than the speaker who lost his or her words.

Public Speaking Classes and Leadership Boot Camp

Hey Everybody,

I’ll be teaching a number of classes coming up in the next couple of months as will a number of our senior instructors. The much-anticipated Leader’s Institute Leadership and Public Speaking Boot Camp is coming up in about a month. We still have a few seats left, but hotel space is very limited. If you’d like to attend, make sure and register ASAP. Register for the Leadership Boot Camp on Feb 25-28, 2010.

Quick Leadership Tip: Establish Solid Trust before Offering Advice. We often want to make a splash when we are put into leadership positions, but remember that your team is much more likely to follow you if they trust you. Establish trust first, then lead.

Quick Public Speaking Tip: Practice with a Person. A lot of us try to practice our speeches or presentations alone or in front of a mirror. However, that kind of practice is likely to make us more nervous. We are our own worst critic, so we tend to knitpick ourselves when we practice alone. We also don’t get the visual and verbal feedback that a friend or coworker can show us, so we may not know if we are communicating clearly. Instead, grab a trusted friend or coworker and run through yur presentation with them. They can offer valuable insight.
