When I work with clients who have difficulty addressing a group of people, I take them through an exercise that is most successful. And it is simple, to boot.
The next step is to have them stand at their chair and deliver the same material again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just as if in conversation. If that doesn't work, they sit back down and continue working from the sitting position until they are able to successfully stand and deliver. Once they have accomplished these 2 steps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they move to the lectern. As simple as it sounds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this exercise really does work.
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they must first know their material,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], inside and out. Nothing can be accomplished unless they are ready with their script or their notes. What this means is if they have not created and practiced their material out loud, I send them home or back to work! If they are not prepared,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are wasting their time and mine.
Once that prerequisite is accomplished,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, they are then video-recorded while sitting in a chair as they deliver their speech or presentation from that position. In doing so, they are able to look at me as well as at the others in the group and speak with emotion. They do not experience the same fear because they treat their material or script just as if they were having a conversation.
Without a doubt, most people experience some type of nervousness in delivering a speech or presentation. It is normal; it is natural; and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in truth, it is beneficial. There are others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who are filled with such fear and dread at just the thought of public speaking, that panic ensues. When you absolutely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], positively cannot stand and face an audience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need more than a few tips to enable you to accomplish your goal.
I then play back their presentation and have them listen to it. They are always surprised at how good it sounds. Probably the most common response from my clients is that they didn't think they would sound so natural. That is the reaction I am looking for. If you look at those who are truly dynamic at public speaking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will notice that they sound natural. They speak to the audience just as if they were having a conversation. They don't read to you; and, they don't quote a memorized script.
If you are being held back because of your inability to stand and address an audience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], try this exercise. (Just make sure to record yourself while practicing.) You will be surprised at how much easier it will be to face a real one.
