What are the best ways to develop resilience when speaking publicly in a large group?

The best way to build resilience is failure. Try things that are aligned to you. Sure, they may go against a norm but staying true to your values, message, and self will attract more opportunities that align with you rather than aligning for others.

In my experience, building resilience is done from preparing yourself and knowing your content inside and out. There will always be questions you don't know how to answer, but be honest with your audience and say, " What a great question! I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Have that answer in your arsenal for your next speaking engagement.

Building resilience when speaking publicly to a large group involves thorough preparation of both your content and yourself. Familiarize yourself with the material, ensuring a deep understanding. Rehearse extensively to enhance confidence and fluency. Anticipate potential challenges or questions and prepare responses. Cultivate a positive mindset by focusing on the value of your message. Incorporate relaxation techniques to manage nerves. By diligently preparing your content and mentally preparing yourself, you not only bolster your resilience but also enhance your ability to navigate the challenges of public speaking to large audiences with confidence and composure.

Tapping into gratitude is a great way to build resistance when public speaking. Be grateful for the opportunity to serve, share your expertise and advice. The ability to change someones life and make an impact on their thinking is a beautiful accomplishment.

I think it’s safe to say a big part of building up resilience for public speaking is being prepared with key points you want to address, having visual examples via PowerPoint or Prezi etc & also depends on the audience. Is the audience somewhat knowledgeable in this area & if not is more time needed to be spent on educating & then discussing the results/outcomes.

I advise against practicing in front of a mirror. Instead, I encourage people to record their practice sessions. Then watch the recording and give yourself an honest review. Send the recording to your friends and ask for honest and constructive feedback. Apply the feedback and record again until you feel comfortable.

Delivery of the messages that we to convey to our audience varies from person to person. Everyone connects with others in unique ways, some of the humor I use in my everyday baseline may resonate more with how I present it and also the style speaker I am. I like observing other styles too, even if we present on the same things with the same PowerPoint and speech, it’s still going to somewhat vary on the delivery.

Meines Erachtens ist Authentizit?t ein wichtiger Faktor, um Resilienz bei Pr?sentationen zu entwickeln. Das bedeutet, den Inhalt selbst zu gestalten, sich des eigenen Wortschatzes bedienen und die Folien im eigenen Stil zu gestalten, hilft dabei, sich sicherer zu fühlen. Wer eine gute Story mit einem durchg?ngigen roten Faden gestalten, wird es leichter haben, sich an diese zu erinnern, selbst bei Nervosit?t. über mit deinem Team und hole dir Feedback. Sieh den Vortrag als gro?artige Chance und nicht als eine Verpflichtung oder gar Last. Last but not least: k?mpfe nicht gegen die Nervosit?t, sondern akzeptiere sie. Sie ist dein Zeichen, dass du einen guten Job machen willst. Atemübung k?nnen dir helfen, dich zu beruhigen.

Practice helps a lot. When you practice you familiarize with your thoughts and emotions. You are able to see which places needs improvement and what to say at a particular time within the stipulated timeframe given. Practice helps you prepare even for the expected as you would have imagine various scenarios and found a way to resolve it.

When I was younger, I practiced my speeches in the mirror. Yes, it helped me become more comfortable, but I did not gain a lot from it. There was no one to really critique my work. Not until I compiled a reel of my broadcasts and posted it did I get the feedback I really needed. It helped become a more polished, articulate and personable presenter.

Speaking - not performing - with enthusiasm is obvious. KNOWING who your audience is will help you tailor the presentation to what they need to know from you. Think of yourself as a guide (Yoda) to your audience (Luke Skywalker). THEY are the heroes. You are there to inform and enlighten.

You are contagious. If you are having fun, other people will have fun. If you are having a horrible time, your audience is going to have a bad time too. We think that if the audience is happy and engaged, then we will be too. But the reality is, it's the exact opposite. If you as the presenter exhibit how interesting and exciting you find your topic (and I hope you do!) then the audience will catch that.

Did chatgpt write this? Lol. “Perform” I feel like if you are “performing” while speaking then it’s not genuine. I do think being enthusiastic is important especially as I can’t recall anyone who loves a unenthusiastic speaker. Relevant stories that capture the audiences attention that end with a lesson or a new thought always capture attention easily and effortlessly.

Life is game, but only those who understand failure play it like one. Why when we play games like Super Mario do we lose a life and we take that set back as a lesson not to press this button at that moment, whereas in life, we face failure and can easily give up and take no lesson from it? Forgetting content, falling over your words, getting stage fright. These are all falling in those pits in Super Mario ?? It's how you learn from these failures, re-evaluate what went wrong, and attack the task again that makes you succeed. To FAIL is your First Attempt In Learning. Be more like your gaming self and apply this endurance against your true desire to quit in real-life situations and you will push through and beat the level!

We all have strength and weaknesses and knowing your strength and areas for improvement is the best way to achieve excellence. Do not lie to yourself it will help you if you are honest with yourself. Always reflect on your strength and areas for improvement this will make you to grow and adapt to become an excellent Public Speaker.

My very first workshop was a disaster. I was supposed to speak for 45-50 minutes and blew through all of my material in less than 15. With a second workshop right after the first, I had to quickly figure out what I did wrong and adjust. The second workshop went MUCH better and by the third, I had a whole room laughing and learning. Although an extreme example, reflecting on what you have done and making little tweaks can serve you well.

Two thoughts that have helped me countless times: 1) Remember that the audience is your friend. They may be sitting across from you but are actually next and behind you. Realise that - long before you get on that stage - the audience has already decided they want you to succeed because your success equals their added value. 2) Believing in yourself isn't a prerequisite. Believing in your audience is! Decide to believe in your audience and show that with every gesture, every slide, and every verbal and non-verbal choice you make. I guarantee you that the audience will reciprocate your belief in them tenfold. Believing in your audience is the biggest gift possible you can give them AND yourself!

You cannot give something that you don’t have, hence, when you ought to be kind others, and love others- you need to be kind and love yourself first. Value yourself. Confidence in public speaking comes from confidence in yourself. Trust yourself, and prepare well for your public speaking endeavor, and when you need to present it- trust that you can do it well. And if there are mistakes or mishaps, be kind to yourself and accept that everybody makes mistakes. Remember what your mistake is and try to avoid doing it next time. You deserve a second chance to do better. Be kind to yourself, and love yourself- the world is mean and rude already. Be your number 1 supporter!

A growth mindset is great especially when it comes to hitting a point home but also, I like it to share a possible different point of view or a different way of putting something. There’s a saying that goes along the lines of “when you get to the top of the mountain and look down, you see all the different paths you could have taken to get to the top” and that’s the same with public speaking. You want to make it your own and it’s ok to not always be about “growth” as failure is the best teacher.
