Do you have a fear, or feel anxious when it comes to public speaking? You’re not alone - we’re all nervous to speak publicly. In this episode we discuss the tips, techniques and mindset you can use to get past those nerves.
This is episode 3, as part of our significant 4 podcasts series on Presentation Skills.
Where do the nerves come from? Or, as our guest Melina Nacos asks, “What makes you tick?”. What behaviours or beliefs have kept you stuck with your doubts about speaking in public?
We certainly didn’t learn presentation skills at school. We were graded but did we get the tips on being better at it? Not really…
We discuss:
- Nerves are deep rooted; how do you break that habit?
- Making the uncomfortable feel more natural
- What are the beliefs holding you back?
- How to change your script
- How to be more confident networking in person
- How are you preparing and why does it matter?
