HOW TO BECOME A BETTER PUBLIC SPEAKER

HACKING SELF-DEVELOPMENT

public speaking isn’t just about speaking

It is also about the way you communicate

and present yourself to your audience

Facing the gaze of the many eyes that

turn upon you can be a real challenge

Perhaps that is why so many of us are so

afraid of speaking in public

There’s something about the power of

the audience’s eyes that pierce through

our souls

Fear of rejection has become an intrinsic part of our lives

When faced with an audience, we usually experience

terror because we are afraid of rejection

Speaking in public puts you in a vulnerable position

Find every opportunity you can to face situations that

cause you discomfort

Focus on acting to your maximal potential in the present

instead of worrying, set a particular time in the future

when you can obsess about it

Take advantage of every opportunity you get to speak in

front of an audience
