Your Speaking Training is Wrong. Do this.
Most people attack their public speaking woes by addressing the physical nature and feeling after the event happens and they’re affected. My approach is always attacking it psychologically first and then physically.
We often defeat ourselves before and after the speaking event happens. Closing the psychological gap will exponentially improve your ability to speak because you’re addressing the system that triggers the fear rather than would itself.
While this is simple, it’s it not always easy and takes time and courage:
Step 1: Dig deep into your emotional response:
What happens when you’re told you have to speak?
What are you feeling when you come to the realization that it’s happening and you can’t get out of it?
What are your first thoughts?
Why do you feel that way?
What happened in your past that created this level of thinking towards your ability to speak publicly? (Could be as simple as you were watching a show, saw someone get ridiculed, and have been afraid ever since)
Step 2: Light Exposure Therapy
You need to revisit the scene of the crime.
To address the issue, we must replicate the situation in small controlled environments.
Friends and family as a small group where you can practice, see what happens, document how you feel.
Get feedback from your audience: how you look, sound, what they understand/remember about your presentation.
SRA is building a program to help more people. Will share more at a later time but in the meantime I hope this helps you and you apply it.
