Reflecting Your Fears Associated With Giving A

Presentation
Having a presentation always creates tension among students. The fear of public speaking is
common and normal. So, I feel no shame in admitting that, I have fear of giving presentation in
public forum or educational forum like university. So, I have been reading articles and watching
videos, how to improve presentation skills. And try to implement on presentations or class
introduction. Although it was online session but, I try my best. Frankly speaking it was really bad
introduction but, credits goes to my teacher how encourage me to speak. And appreciated me
while introduction, it really helps me. But after speaking some sentence. I got freeze and did
not speak a word. At that moment, I lost my focus and distract. This experience gives me lesson
to always stay focused and don’t think too much and stay calm. And key stay calm and focused
during presentation is practice. There is a familiar quote “Practice makes man perfect”.

There are many Fears to overcome during and before Presentation. Fear of failure can paralyze
us, causing us to accomplish nothing and just stop moving forward. When we allow fear to keep
us from moving forward, though, we are doomed. Making mistakes is a natural aspect of life.
Making a mistake in front of a crowd, on the other hand it brings a sense of embarrassment.
Fear of embarrassment will almost always result in even more humiliation and insult. When
you believe that others regard you as a fool, foolish, or irrelevant, you experience
embarrassment. Simply described, humiliation is a sense of rejection.

I conclude some points after some reading some articles and watching online videos to
overcome my fear of giving presentation Infront of public.

Stop thinking about yourself Remember that the audience is there to learn something, and it is
your job to provide them that information. Put your nerves aside and concentrate on getting
your idea through as clearly as possible.

Slow down your speech and take larger gaps between phrases than you would in a
conversation. This slower pace will relax you and make you easier to hear, especially if you're in
the rear of a large room.

Pause, make eye contact, and smile right before you start talking. This final period of tranquilly
is quite pleasant and allows you to adjust to being the centre of attention.

Smiling is a natural reliever that delivers positive chemical signals throughout the body.
Maintaining eye contact and smiling can also help you establish rapport with your audience.
