Here's how you can conquer nerves and foster resilience before a presentation.

Always be prepared about the topic you and others are speaking so that when you speak in front of others you are speaking the truth with confidence.

Public speaking can seem daunting if, - Unprepared - Lack of familiarity with the audience - New to the topic - Unable to manage the emotions How to overcome this: - Rehearse well - Know the audience you are going to speak to - Research, create, practice (RCP) your talk - Manage emotions with deep breathing, visualisation, be authentic, and embrace your true style.

Few simple steps will help you boost confidence and deliver at your best. 1. Remember the 5 P formula: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. In fact, your grip on topic and familiarity with your slide deck plays a vital role in boosting your confidence. 2. Repeat in your mind, "This is going to be my best". 3. Just before the presentation, Inhale from your nose, hold for 3 secs and exhale slowly from mouth. Repeat it at least 5 times and you will be completely in command. 4. Always start with a light joke or a question. This will help you and audience become comfortable. 5. Inform your audience how much time you are allotted. This will prevent them to ask unnecessary questions.

When speaking in public, I am often asked how I prepare my speech - do I memorize it? How much do I practice? Here’s how I do it: a) I know the content I want to speak about very well. Learn, learn, learn! ?? b) I find an easy storyline to present the content. A storyline that makes sense in my head and is easy for others to understand when they hear it. ?? c) I practice (a few times) using that storyline. I don’t memorize so I don't run the chance of forgetting something and loosing track of my speech; I just know the content and the storyline very well. ?? Try these steps and let me know how it goes! Good luck! ?

Once you prepare throughly you breathe east, you are confident and will have the ability to crack a joke to lighten the mood. But most importantly you need to read on the topic, research the different scenarios, imagine yourself.in each scenario and then profer solutions good and bad. That is the best way

Quando apresentei em um evento da FECAP sobre tendências do e-commerce, fiquei muito nervoso, pois era minha primeira vez diante de um grande público. Para me preparar, frequentemente fechava os olhos e visualizava a experiência: as primeiras frases, a rea??o do público e os momentos de humor. Com o tempo, essas imagens se tornaram mais vívidas e eu sempre sorria durante as visualiza??es. Tente isso: feche os olhos e sorria. Há pesquisas que indicam que sorrir pode aumentar a libera??o de endorfinas, melhorando seu humor e confian?a, tornando a apresenta??o mais positiva e agradável.

A confian?a é a resposta! E confiar é acreditar, ver que est?o te entendendo da melhor forma e se inspirando em você! - Isso sempre me ajuda! Estar preparado é fundamental para aumentar a confian?a. Pratique sua apresenta??o várias vezes com o conteúdo. Como disse, veja o sucesso durante a apresenta??o. Imagine falando de forma clara e confiante, recebendo feedback positivo da plateia. Isso pode ajudar a reduzir a ansiedade e promover um estado mental mais positivo.

Agree with the breathing techniques to assist calm, I used this method before many a course start. I've taught the 4-7-8 by Andrew Weil for years with great success.

Quando você respira, costuma inflar o peito ou a barriga? Escutei essa pergunta em um curso e mal passava pela minha cabe?a uma possibilidade sem ser o peito. No entanto, estudos mostram que a respira??o abdominal é mais eficiente para relaxamento. Ela permite que mais oxigênio entre nos pulm?es e seja distribuído pelo corpo, ativando o diafragma e estimulando o nervo vago, o que promove a calma. Focar na respira??o sempre me ajuda a sair do turbilh?o de pensamentos. Essa prática me traz de volta ao presente, restaurando a calma e a paz. Tente isso: inspire profundamente, enchendo a barriga, e expire devagar. Você pode se surpreender com o quanto isso pode ajudar a relaxar.

The physiological sigh is the #1 scientific proven method to regulate one's heart rate. Repeatedly doing cycles of two quick inhales followed by a deep exhale can help one feel calm and centered. 4-7-8 technique is also an easily measurable one. Inhale for 4, hold for 7, and exhale for 8. The longer the exhales, the quicker the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in to regulate one's heart rate.

Speaking in public can be frightening - most people feel extremely nervous and uncomfortable and avoid it at all costs. Here are some reminders that help me deal with those fears and embrace nerves: #1 As I was once told by a psychologist at a conference, feeling nervous before a big event at work is normal and shows your body is ready to perform. It is a good sign! ?? #2 Great things usually take place outside of our comfort zone, and you won’t feel comfortable there. If you feel nervous, you are in the right place and something amazing is about to happen! ?? #3 If you were given this opportunity, you are capable. You wouldn’t have this chance if you couldn’t handle it! ?? Embrace nerves, good things are coming! ??

Allow your hook to be an icebreaker for yourself! During a keynote speech I was incredibly nervous for, I used a quick interactive meditation as a hook. The benefits of this were not only building a sense of community and teamwork with the audience, but that it also helped me to ease my nerves and regulate myself before beginning my speech.

Befriend people in the audience before going on stage! Get to know their names and what brings them to the talk. With their permission, you could mention or converse with them in the speech as well (ex. In a mindfulness-related speech "My friend John in the audience is a huge proponent of box breathing!")

Don’t think too much about it. Just do it carefree. Why we get nervous is most often what we think what others would think of our presentation and they comparing it to others! Have an idea and a goal for yourself on what you wanna achieve with your topic. Focus on that goal. Focus on the goal rather than yourself, believe in your goal and it will work out for the greater good!
