- Fear Definitions
- 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.
