As someone who had a fear of public speaking and who now teaches public speaking, I will surely say practice has a lot of effect. Practice in front of the mirror as many times as you can. Practice in front of an audience you’re comfortable with, for instance, family and friends. If possible record your practice sessions so you can listen to yourself and watch for good/bad posture, lots of gesture, if you’re avoiding eye contact etc. And of course ask for feedback from your peers during practice. If you’re uncomfortable about practicing with people, practicing alone is ideal also.
Great pointers Inem! I really enjoyed this. I’m going to share 🤗
Well articulated topic. How do you advise someone who fears public speaking because he tends to stutter. One tip I have learnt is to speak as slowly as practicable. And of course talk (pray) to God about it.
Thank you for commenting. Prayer works. An extra thing to do is work on your presentation, perfect it and practice in front of others. Practice, practice, practice until you are confident that you have got it.
