How can you learn how to speak with confidence.
You hear this all the time people in confident speakers Oh she was so confident but what happens if
you're about to stand up to speak and instead of feeling confident you're feeling scared nervous uncomfortable
tentative.
Well let me tell you the number one way of gaining confidence when you speak and that is to practice
and advance on video and then watch the video and then to keep doing it until you like the speech so
you can point to a video of your own speech and say wow that person looks really confident.
I love to speak half as well as that person.
And you're speaking to video.
But speaking about a video of yourself that's how you know you're confident and that will give you everything
you need in order to get through your presentation.
Step back then.
What makes people not have confidence.
It's because you just don't know how you're coming across.
You have doubts you're not certain you're thinking maybe outdo you really boring.
Well guess what you might be really boring.
What if nobody understands me well maybe people can't understand you because you're speaking so softly
so quickly.
All of those things are very easy to test.
All you have to do.
Get your phone out and record yourself or a webcam or any other video recording device.
So if you're lacking confidence chances are there's a good reason it's because you haven't done your
due diligence.
If I said to you dictate a memo send it to every important client your boss your board of directors.
Oh and by the way you're not allowed to spell check the memo.
You're not allowed to test for grammar.
You can't make it look pretty easy to just dictate it and send it out.
Wouldn't that make you nervous.
Of course it would because you wouldn't have been able to refine it to eliminate the major defects.
It's exactly the same thing with speaking and with speaking it's not about the text and rewriting and
running it through grammar check and spell check.
It's about you actually seeing that person in this case you speak and doing it in a way where you know
you're coming across your best.
Now nothing's foolproof so you may be looking at me saying I don't like this guy's style.
I don't like the way he's his hands and I'm like his beady eyes.
You know what.
It just doesn't bother me because I've seen myself talk on this very subject numerous times in other
videos and I'm confident that this is how I want to come across that you really can't do any better
that way.
I'm doing right now so I couldn't be nervous even if I tried.
You can be completely confident too.
You just have to practice on video tell you like what you see.
