Overcoming Public Speaking Fear – Tip 6

Visualise yourself succeeding. The vast majority of people at the event want you to do well and they want to enjoy the experience. So remember that they are on your side.

To help you visualise yourself delivering a really good speech, imagine the ideal scenario when you are speaking to your audience and it is all going very well.  Ask yourself the following questions:

• “How do I look? – You will probably be looking confident, calm and engaging.
• “How does my voice sound? – You are probably sounding clear, interesting and convincing.
• “How am I feeling?” – You will be feeling relaxed, energised and in control.
