3 Quick Public Speaking Anxiety Tips

It is good to know that public speaking anxiety is a learnt emotion. It means that it can be "unlearnt." Many of today's confident public speakers beat their stage fright to move on. We can follow in their footsteps and become more at ease speaking and presenting to groups.

Here are 3 quick tips that can help with public speaking anxiety:-

1. Don't think about your speech being criticized. Instead think to yourself "I am doing my best. And if someone is unhappy with my speech, so what?"

2. Remember you feel more nervous than you will appear to the audience. Also, most audiences are sympathetic towards you. They know how tough it can be too.

3. If you are feeling tense before you speak go for a short walk or do some stretches to relieve tension.

Public speaking anxiety, we know, can be overcome because it was learnt response and others have managed to beat it.
