問題詳情

(1) The very best way to deal with nervousness is to practice. Practice your speech somuch that you can do it while on autopilot. That way, your lips and body will knowwhat to do even if your mind has checked-out. (2) While speaking, concentrate on breathing slowly and deeply. Not only will younot hyperventilate this way, but you will also keep a nice steady supply of oxygenflowing through your blood stream. Nervous people have a tendency to take shortshallow breaths. (3) Hum a key before you begin to speak and lower your voice just a tiny bit. Theresultant noise will sound less like the pitch of a nervous mouse and more like anormal speaking voice. Avoid nervous hand gestures, too. Don’t pretend that you areAdam and give yourself a fig leaf. Don’t wring your hands like a substitute teacher inthe wildest home room. If you haven’t got a good use for them at the time, keep thosehands hanging freely at your side. (4) And try to put the whole thing into perceptive. What’s there to be afraid ofanyway? Does the state of world peace hang on the result of this one presentation?Will it even be something that you remember in five years? Why are we afraid ofpublic speaking anyway? It is completely irrational. Think of the fear in that way andtry to see it for what it really is. (5) And if all else fails, quote a little Shakespeare. I have a favorite line that gave mestrength and I used to repeat it like a mantra. Unfortunately, the context from which itcomes is a little bit grim. It happens to be the tool that Lady MacBeth used to talk thehubby into murder the king. But it is a great line, nonetheless. And it is the line thatI’d like to end this educational minute with. It goes like this: Screw your courage tothe sticking point and we’ll not fail.
