How to Overcome Stage Fear? (Part 2)

As a Communication Skills Expert, I have the opportunity to train and coach a lot of business people, managers, engineers and when I speak to them, they always tell me: “How to overcome stage fear?” Have you ever faced the same question? I know I have, I used to be very much afraid of speaking before my presentations, even before I had to speak to someone one-on-one. So, how did I overcome that fear? And how can YOU overcome the fear? We do an entire session about it at my “Present like a Champ Bootcamp” (people say it’s the best presentation skills training in Bangalore). Here are some quick tips for you:

Stop thinking about yourself. YOU don’t matter during your presentation. Yes, you read it right. You don’t matter, your audience does. Stop focusing on yourself, start focusing on your audience. You are there for THEM.
Take some deep breaths before your presentation. It will calm your nerves and you will control your nerves.
Listen to your favorite song before your presentations. Your favorite song will put you in the right mood.
Do some starching. This gives you POWERFUL BODY LANGUAGE.
Don’t focus on PERFECTION, focus on CONNECTION.
Ask yourself: “How would I give this presentation if this one was my last one ever?”
