I like this guy. This stuff is gold. I have a 5 min presentation tomorrow, and then a 20min presentation next week. Wish me luck.

@SteveeSmith 7 років тому

how'd it go?

@roughryder5 7 років тому

Bombed the 5minute presentation pretty hard since I had no time to prepare but I aced the 20 minute one like a natural. Spent about 2 hours a day rehearsing for 5 days leading up to the presentation. I think I got a 98% on it.

@SteveeSmith 7 років тому

well done you. I've just been informed that I will have a 4minute presentation and a 20minute presentation in November. already shaking.

@roughryder5 7 років тому

SteveeSmith Trust me, rehearse a few hours every day until you practically memorize everything word for word.

@user-le1rr8ls1e 2 роки тому

Notes: Technique 1: Greet anxiety and acknowledge that it's normal and natural to be nervous Technique 2: Reframe as conversation, not a performance - by asking questions and polling - use conversational language Technique 3: be present-oriented - focus on the present but not the future - e.g. count down, tongue twister Thanks for the useful tips! I have learnt a lot from this video!

@syahirah4499 9 місяців тому

1. asking questions beginning of the speech 2. be present, less worry about the future (listen to music, count backwards) 3. do tongue-twister 4. use conversational language

7 years on from this video and I must say it is the best video I have watched. I'm a 40 year old autistic guy who has to speak tomorrow. I have been watching video after a video recently and this one is amazing. Thank you kindly 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

How did it go?

@esrathe-first9316 2 роки тому

@@janellenevarezgomez3935 I had to speak to two different groups and after the first one I realised that I coukd use what I found hard as a great ice breaker. I found it hard to say "employability practitioner apprenticeship". By starting off saying that I have practiced saying it hundreds of times and still find it hard to get it right. People try saying it and start smiling. It turns talking at people, to talking with people. After talking, people were coming up saying that it was hard to say, to many p's. I want to get good at public speaking and you can only get good at it, by doing it. Thank you kindly for asking. 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 👍🏽 🖖🏽

Great techniques, definitely will try to think about it. In two days I will be presenting for 1.5 hours for 300 people since I will start teaching. Twice a week, for the coming 12 weeks. I'm curious how it will evolve.

One other thing I would like to recommend is that there are apps in virtual reality that help you with giving speeches. The apps have you present in different scenarios and it feels real. There are games like Horizon in oculus that give you a chance to talk in front of live audiences too. Both instances feel very real and it's a good way to practice. Once you do it a lot of times, you become more comfortable and you can train your brain to focus on your the information you're presenting rather than thinking of a performance.

@ThinkFastTalkSmart Рік тому

Absolutely! Virtual Speech is a great example.

@skrrtmycat761 Рік тому

What app?

@EricELT18 8 років тому

Framing the presentation as conversation certainly helps, and starting with questions makes this aspiration a reality. Thanks for sharing this practical, often overlooked tip.

@frankc1702 Рік тому

’ve developed severe anxiety when speaking not just to a group but one on one and it can be a spontaneous conversation in passing. This only happens in work settings. I feel like I can hear my blood flow, I’m trembling on the inside and I feel like I’m going to pass out. The last thing my anxiety does in help me focus. Most of these videos are geared towards public speaking to a group. This is not the case for me.

@ThinkFastTalkSmart Рік тому

I believe most of these techniques work for in person communication as well. Check out NoFreakingSpeaking.com for more.

Hi, @Trend Me. I would be really interested in learning more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face. I’m looking to interview individuals (purely for my own research) to help me build a new workshop I’m working on. It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. OR if you know of someone who fits this description, please tag them below/introduce me. Feel free to tag me here with a reply if you’re interested :) Super appreciate your shared insights in advance.
