Experts say so.
"Public speaking" is usually what people fear most. Nick morgan said: "When all eyes are fixed on you, you will feel exposed." (He is the chairman and founder of PublicWorlds and the author of PowerCues. ) "This usually leads to feelings of shame and embarrassment." In other words: fear of losing face is the root of our stage fright.
Another problem, Morgan said, is that "speakers often set a perfect standard for themselves that can never be achieved". "Then, depending on the individual's nervousness, they will struggle repeatedly in the next few hours, weeks or even years:' I should have said this' or' I should have done this'."
But spokespersons should not be "afraid of hostile environment" or always be wise after the event, said Nancy Duarte (CEO and director of Duarte Design Company and author of Harvard Business Review Guide-Persuasive Speech). On the whole, the audience supports you, she explained. They "want to hear what you have to say", and they hope you can succeed.
Here are some ways to help you make a good speech.
Know your audience.
When you begin to prepare your speech, consider your information and content from the audience's point of view. "Study your audience," Morgan said. "Understand their pain points, interests, fears, needs and wishes." Don't take your speech as an opportunity to show off your professional knowledge.
