- Search online for 3 tips for effectively dealing with the Fear of Public Speaking.
- Write down those 3 tips.
- 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.

- Useful
- A thing that is capable of satisfying certain needs is said to be useful.
- Desirable
