How can you overcome nerves at a conference?

Give yourself some grace. If you are presenting, this will most likely be the first time the audience is hearing your topic so if you miss a point or cover something differently than what you planned…they won’t know! Make the decision before you arrive that you WILL enjoy the experience and focus on your decision throughout the event. Most importantly remember that you were invited to attend, speak, etc. (even if you volunteered to attend) so that means YOU (your authentic self) should be the only one who attends. Be yourself and enjoy the experience the rest will fall into place.

There is no single or consensual way to overcome nerves at a conference. We must accept that nervousness is natural when speaking in public, especially among people with less experience. Some strategies I recommend are: (i) adequate preparation and mastery of the task are a good way to remain confident, (ii) knowing who the target audience allows us to adapt both the presentation and the people who will be in the audience, (iii) observe yourself as being successful, this helps maintain confidence and reduce anxiety, (iv) worry about the message you want to convey, this can help shift focus on the nervous system, (v) during the conference, speak eloquently, slowly, articulate words with gestures and maintain eye contact with the audience.

I am a shy, introvert person, and meeting new people makes me anxious - especially in big crowds. However, over the course of the years, I have learned that meeting new people in a professional context is more often than not an enriching experience. You broaden your horizons, expand your network, build relationships that can become meaningful, learn from other colleagues‘ best practices. I try to keep my eye on this prize, and it helps me a lot in feeling more empowered, at ease and in control.

Breathe and Relax. Apart from these the following points to keep in mind while giving the presentation is as follows: 1. Prepare yourself. You may feel better about going into a meeting if you feel prepared. ... 2. Practice your statements. ... 3. Reach out to the participants. ... 4. Use relaxation techniques. ... 5. Acknowledge your feelings. ... 6. Speak up early. ... 7. Engage with the material. ... 8. Take action steps.

Always taking a deep breath helps, reminding yourself of your expertise, and focusing on the value you bring. Preparing talking points, practicing, and remember everyone is there to learn and network.

Piensa que hasta el más avezado conferenciante experimenta ese típico cosquilleo y liberación de adrenalina que provoca subir a un escenario y 'enfrentarse' a la audiencia. Si estás empezando, se manifiesta en forma de nervios. A mucha gente le provoca pavor, … pero con ganas y trabajando el autocontrol se puede ir aminorando. Algunos consejos fruto de mis a?os pisando escenarios: ?? Respira hondo. Relájate (por ejemplo, saliendo fuera y observando el cielo). ?? Convierte la adrenalina en energía. ?? Observa el escenario e imprégnate del ambiente. ?? Insúflate motivación. A medida que vas pisando tablas aprendes a convertir esa tensión previa en algo que te da fuerza y te estimula. Ahí está el reto

La cohérence cardiaque est un outil rapide et efficace pour faire descendre le stress avant une confèrence. Prendre conscience de notre respiration nous aide à nous ancrer.

J'ai un outil amplificateur : les huiles essentielles. Couplées à de la respiration, effet zen assuré ! Effectivement on ne les utilise pas n'importe comment, c'est pourquoi j'en ai fait une activité : accompagner les professionnels à les intégrer dans leur quotidien !

These are great ideas. I use breath and energy to find balance. As I think about my nervousness before a speech, a webinar or an event, I inhale the negative energy and exhale positive energy. It sounds like it should be the reverse, however, the negative energy is stagnant in the body. So as you breath, you think or visualize what you want to happen and exhale that energy into the atmosphere of your event. Let it sit a while then do it again until the butterflies subside.

ótimas dicas! A respira??o profunda e o relaxamento do corpo s?o de fato técnicas eficazes para acalmar os nervos. O oxigênio extra que chega ao cérebro ajuda a reduzir a ansiedade e a frequência cardíaca, promovendo uma sensa??o de calma. Além disso, o relaxamento muscular progressivo, a medita??o ou alongamento s?o excelentes maneiras de aliviar a tens?o e promover o relaxamento geral do corpo. Mas,lembre-se de que os profissionais têm suas particularidades e encontrar o que funciona melhor para "você" pode levar tempo, mas essas técnicas podem ser úteis para acalmar os nervos e promover o bem-estar geral.

Excelentes sugest?es! Buscar apoio social é uma ótima maneira de lidar com os nervos e aproveitar ao máximo uma conferência. Seus colegas, amigos ou mentores podem fornecer conselhos valiosos, feedback construtivo e incentivo, ajudando você a se sentir mais confiante e preparado para o evento. Além disso, interagir com outros participantes da conferência pode ser muito enriquecedor.Compartilhar interesses, metas e desafios, você pode estabelecer conex?es significativas e encontrar suporte mútuo.Lembre-se de que você n?o está sozinho e há muitas pessoas que est?o passando pela mesma experiência ou que est?o dispostas a apoiá-lo ao longo do caminho. N?o hesite em aproveitar essas oportunidades de conex?o e crescimento durante a conferência.

S'entourer oui, mais pas de n'importe qui. L'idée est de trouver le subtil équilibre entre les personnes qui osent dire ce qu'elles pensent, que ce soit constructif et qu'il y ait un minimum de forme bienveillante, le tout avec la dose suffisante de remise en question + confiance en soi chez soi. Ma baguette magique ? Mon alignement intérieur... Revenir à soi.

When your mind is offering you a LOT of judgmental thoughts or you are really feeling discouraged, we can take our own 20,000 foot view of the situation. Sometimes this works but when it doesn't this is a time to lean into a friend that is always honest with you or a mentor who can do this for you. Lean into others when you are feeling like "it's just me" or "I'm doing it all wrong". This stuck circle of thinking can get busted when we hear from those you REALLY see what we're good at and the work we're doing.

Cuando tengas bien preparada la conferencia, tras tu esfuerzo individual y habiéndola ensayada varias veces, puedes recurrir a amigos o colegas. Para hacer un ensayo con público. Pidiéndoles que te den feedback sobre lo que más les ha gustado y lo que menos. Es una forma de 'sacar' la conferencia de tu propia visión, para implicar a terceros de confianza. Su perspectiva te va a ser de gran apoyo.

Seeing family or friends just before helps motivate and boost confidence. During my talks, I also look for a friendly face in the audience, whether I know them or not. People may simply respond with a kind look or a smile. I also always ask for feedbacks at the end of it and a few weeks later. My content can progress from different points of view, and my conference changes over time - it's not always the same song!

Use humor! Remember that we're all human - and sharing a laugh at the beginning of your day, your session, your first time meeting someone - can help you and your fellow conference attendees connect and smile, leading to more engagement and friendship that can last well past the event!

You are not there by chance. Actually, you were born for this! It is part of a path you have undertaken time ago, made of successes and challenges, tough as it comes, sometimes arduous, always worthwhile. You are going to lead this dance. Make a list of things you want to learn, people you want to meet, messages you want to deliver, targets you want to accomplish in those two hours, or three days, or whatever. If your list is clear and you are going there with a purpose, the result will be some shade of victory, more or less rosy, but victory nonetheless. Extra pro tip: if you feel nervous or clumsy or inadequate, well, everybody does!

Exactly! What you must feel confident about is the value of the content you are offering. Remember that you are there to offer a unique perspective about your information and your experience. Tell personal stories about how you experienced the information or how it may have influenced you. Audiences love stories.

Je repense toujours à mes dernières conférences qui en général sont très appréciées. Comment je le remarque? Par le fait que je n’ai jamais le temps de manger des petits fours après une conférence, les gens aiment à partager à chaud leurs questionnements avec moi et ensuite par le nombre de messages que je re?ois après une prestation. Une conférence s’arrête rarement le jour de la prestation, si v?tre conférence est bonne les gens la garde en mémoire de nombreuses années. En ce qui me concerne chacune de mes conférences donné depuis + de vingt ans, m’ont toutes beaucoup appris. Le panel des thématiques m’inspirent et me font réfléchir, grandir. L’inspiration est un échange entre humains, notre r?le à travers notre savoir est de partager

Prepárate muy bien la conferencia de manera que hasta te salga natural improvisar y coger de nuevo el hilo. Cuando uno va muy preparado es capaz de hacerlo más suyo e incluir variaciones en función del público y sus reacciones sin perderse del hilo conductor. Además céntrate en tus fortalezas, si puedes pensar en disfrutar mejor, y recurre a la visualización un rato antes de la charla para imaginarte disfrutando y lleno de seguridad. Realiza posturas de poder que manden a tu cerebro la se?al de que todo está bien, respira profundo, ten en cuenta que los nervios iniciales son normales y que una vez que arranques podrás disfrutar mucho. Y ten en cuenta que como todo, es algo que se aprende con práctica y la práctica suelta mucho.

Using the feedback is helpful in two ways: 1) To understand the value of your content to the audience 2) To use feedback to adjust your presentation style Feedback can also be harmful if you take criticism to heart and allow it to damage your self esteem. Use the criticism to be helpful, take it as an opportunity to learn and expand your repertoire.

A única pessoa que n?o comete erros s?o aquelas que n?o tentaram realizar ou contribuir com algo. Sendo assim, precisamos nos preparar...e ousar... E se as críticas vierem precisamos ponderar e buscar melhorias. Que devem ser contínua, tanto na vida profissional quanto pessoal.

Agenda para anotar os feedbacks recebidos e refletir sobre eles posteriormente, é indispensavel. Além disso, lembre-se de que o fracasso é uma parte natural do processo de aprendizado e crescimento. Em vez de temê-lo, veja-o como uma oportunidade para se superar e se tornar mais resiliente.Receber críticas construtivas pode ser uma oportunidade valiosa para melhorar suas habilidades e conhecimentos. é importante lembrar que o feedback n?o deve ser levado para o lado pessoal. Em vez disso, encare-o como uma chance de aprimoramento e crescimento. Esteja aberto a diferentes opini?es e perspectivas, pois isso pode enriquecer seu entendimento e ampliar sua vis?o.

A crítica faz parte do seu desenvolvimento. Um trabalho sem crítica n?o é um trabalho valioso. Sabe lidar com a crítica e extrair o melhor disso e uma grande parte do seu desenvolvimento profissional.

Self-reflecting on how a presentation went is vitally important. Once the adrenaline has abated and you have a quiet moment, taking time to do this self-reflection helps to frame & guide your next steps. Having clear ideas of what went well and what didn’t for different audiences will allow you to tailor future presentations.

Hay una cosa muy clara: si tú como ponente disfrutas, el público disfrutará también. Porque percibirá que tú te lo estás pasando bien, estás fluyendo, hablas con pasión, sabes manejarte con lo que cuentas y cómo lo cuentas. No se disfruta igual la primera vez (?los nervios te atenazan!) que la enésima. Pero aprender a disfrutar forma parte del proceso.

The more we keep the sessions interactive the more we can control our nerves and by adding the flavor of humor one can easily win the attention of audience without losing the track of the subject/theme.

First you listen, then you analyse, forward you judge and finally you react! It's a principle that will save you, lots of time(priceless)! Every conference is a chain reaction between different people and ideas! It's your choice if you will be positive or negative to receive and use all this information! There is no space for aggressive and toxic consequences coming from egoism and sort minded people. I always say to my people that if you want to find God go up at the top of a mountain, but if you're willing to get knowledge be ready to fight with Devils!

I always aim to view every participation in an event as an opportunity to showcase my skills. Particularly, I've received feedback from colleagues indicating that I have an interesting way of presenting content. So in each new conference, I try to make them feel my passion for the topic, ensuring that the audience feels engaged. I intersperse the presentation with light jokes relevant to the subject and our daily work routine. Creating such a positive atmosphere can contribute to making both myself and the audience enjoy the presentation and the content delivered.

I think it's better to stay natural, even if it means forgetting what you meant or improvising! People sense authenticity and never hold it against you. Memory lapses or clumsiness make us human! I don't hesitate to laugh and make jokes, to speak in a familiar language sometimes, because that's just the way I am!

All of the tips here is good but they forget the most important one: Forget yourself and focus on how to be of service to the others. This shift of focus works also when on stage. It's not about you, it's all about them. Show them your love!

Enjoy the zen room. More and more events do have one and it serves many purposes. For example : - Speakers preparation and relaxation - Jet lag overcome - On long days, recharge batteries before starting new 1 on 1 meetings

Lors d'une de mes premières interventions devant un public relativement intimidant, j'ai fait part de mon stress au DG de mon institution. Il m'a simplement dit : "les personnes présentes ne sont pas là pour te juger, mais elles veulent apprendre quelque chose. Et toi, tu as un savoir qu'elles n'ont pas encore". Depuis, cette simple pensée m'aide à aborder chaque conférence avec confiance, détente et passion. Je les vois comme un véritable échange. Je prends les commentaires, les questions comme les effets d'un partenariat dans la réflexion sur le sujet abordé.

One of the best ways to boost your confidence before a presentation is to practice it several times. By rehearsing your presentation, you'll become more familiar with the content and the flow of your ideas, allowing you to deliver it more confidently. It's also important to consider your audience and how your presentation can benefit them. By identifying your audience's needs and interests, you can tailor your presentation to meet their expectations and make it more engaging. So, start practicing and put yourself in your audience's shoes to make your presentation more constructive and impactful.

Overcoming nerves is an art perfected with practice. I suggest running through your presentation multiple times, ensuring impeccable timing for captivating the audience. Picture this: rehearse in front of a mirror, or better yet, seek guidance from a seasoned conference speaker. They'll help you finesse your tone, pace, and those crucial pauses. Don't forget to sync your body language with your words – it adds that extra flair. Trust me, muscle memory kicks in, and the nerves? They'll be history. You're not just presenting; you're owning the stage.
