It’s by no means uncommon to have a fear of public speaking, but it’s a fear that must be overcome in the business world, especially after registering a company. While not everyone will be out speaking on panels or keynoting at events right off the bat, it’s highly likely that you’ll be presenting to investors or business prospects following incorporation. Overcoming the initial fear and nervousness is the first step in delivering a successful speech or presentation – the rest is about providing value for the audience.
Here are some helpful guidelines to consider as you improve your public speaking skills:
Successful public speaking is about preparation, knowledge and emotion. Knowing your topic and being well prepared can also serve to help overcome a fair amount of nervousness on your part. Practice ahead of time, ideally out loud and in front of a small audience. Try to connect with the audience by focusing on what they will get out of the speech; answer the two burning questions up front and be authentic and excited. Even if you are not enjoying yourself, acting like you are will create a positive presence, help you connect with the audience and create a lasting impression while delivering your presentation.
