Public Speaking Confidence

Public Speaking Confidence
The idea of speaking in public can be terrifying. Just imagine for a moment that you’re stepping on to a stage and look down at a sea of faces all waiting for you to start. What happens when you imagine that?
Most likely your palms will start to sweat and your pulse rate will shoot up. And that’s just thinking about it! However, there are strategies that can help you to present and perform with confidence and be on top of your game.
When I started out with my first career as a classical flutist, performing on stage was a central part of my work.   Over the years the performance training I received as a musician has stood me in good stead. In this post I’ll share with you my best tips on how to overcome nervousness, speak with confidence, and actually enjoy being on stage.
I’ve divided the material into two parts. This post is about the psychological strategies that help you to present with confidence. A companion article on Write to Done shows how to prepare the actual content of a presentation. It’s called How to Prepare Public Presentations that Knock the Socks Off. Read both to get the full juice!
Before we look at the psychological strategies you can employ in order to feel confident and in charge during a public presentation, let’s take a look at what fears you may need to be overcome:
