Being anxious is natural
We all feel it
Ways we stress out . . .
- Stage fright
- Emotional stress
- Psychological stress
I
know I have it – but how do I get over it?
- You look better than you feel
- It helps to have something to say
- Think about what is important (not the details)
- Practice, practice, practice
- See yourself giving the speech and doing well
- Know that we are all rooting for you
What to do as you begin.
Breath (Why do we breathe? So we don’t
lose our voice)
Find the smiling face in the room (Not the laughing face.)
The more you over-note the worse you will do. (Just be you.)
Speak louder than you think you need to (Better to be too loud than too soft)
Look around the room and speak to everyone. (Look over their heads if you must.)
Stand up straight and keep you hands out of your pockets.
Don’t apologize! Don’t apologize! No one knows you messed up but you.
Don’t be afraid to pause and get your thoughts together. NO ONE KNOWS.
Don’t forget - everyone here wants you to do well.
