- Fear
- The
word “fear” refers to the biological process by which animals, including
humans, secure the necessary energy to do a job, when the job to be done is one
that really matters. (A job that really matters is one in which failure results
in injury to either one’s physical and/or psychological self.)
- Self Confidence
- This
word refers to the ability of an individual to predict with a rather high
degree of probability, that what one ought to do, or what one is about to do,
can be done with at least some degree of success or satisfaction.
- Useful
- A
thing that is capable of satisfying certain needs is said to be useful.
- Desirable
- A
thing that is needed to satisfy certain needs is said to be desirable.
- Public Appearance
- This
means that a human being comes into some relationship with others in such a way
that others can or will evaluate his or her behavior and/or personality.
- Five Basic Ideas for Developing Self-Confidence
- All normal people have fear when faced with
tasks that really matter.
- Fear is useful and desirable when understood,
but wasteful and undesirable when misunderstood.
- All physical fear reactions have logical
explanations.
- All public speaking situations are situations
that really matter.
- All self-confidence comes from experience.
- Practical Tips for Dealing with Fear
- Prepare thoroughly—Practice out loud, use a
mirror, audio tape or video tape, practice with friends and get their
reactions, time it, make workable note cards, practice with note cards, etc.
- Take a couple of deep breaths and, if possible,
stretch and work off energy before you speak. Speak early in the period if you
are generally nervous.
- Think of yourself as a “communicator of ideas”
not a “speaker with a script.”
- Realize that everyone else feels very much as
you do. Everyone is in the same boat. People are “with you.”
- With experience, know that your confidence and
success will increase.
- Be at your best physically and mentally.
- Realize the opportunities outweigh the risks and
everyone makes mistakes on their way to improvement.
