People believe that the performance of their public
speaking is a reflection of their self-confidence! Who said this? Remember one thing always in your life.. You are not what you do!! If you are not able to speak well then it does not mean that you are not worthy, if you didn’t deliver a presentation well, then it doesn’t mean that you are not confident. Have you ever wondered why you are not scared when talking to a group of 10 friends, because you are you at that time. But when you are delivering a presentation you are not acting with your real personality. You were under the effect of anxiety and fear. That is the only reason your performance drops and it leads to low self-confidence.
Take it as an opportunity to showcase your
knowledge, expertise and potential to your bosses and to the outside world. Now when you say that you have practiced and memorised your entire presentation, you are doing it the wrong way. Never ever, never ever, yes never ever memorise the speech, cos then you are not nervous about delivering or how you would look, you are nervous thinking what if I forget some lines. So don’t do that. Just remember some key words and remember the key points you have to say about them, your delivery will appear more spontaneous.
