Speaking in Public is NOT Inherently Stressful

To deal with any type of stress effectively, you first must understand that life itself, including public speaking, is NOT inherently stressful. Thousands of human beings have learned to speak in front of groups with little or no stress at all. Many of these people were initially terrified to speak in public. Their knees would shake, their voices would tremble, their thoughts would become jumbled . . . you know the rest. Yet they learned to eliminate their fear of public speaking completely.You are no more or less human than they are. If they can conquer the fear of public speaking, so can you!

You Don't have to be Brilliant or Perfect to Succeed

The essence of public speaking is this: give your audience something of value. That's all there is to it. If people in your audience walk away with something (anything) of value, they will consider you a success. If they walk away feeling better about themselves, feeling better about some job they have to do, they will consider you a success. If they walk away feeling happy or entertained, they will consider their time with you worthwhile. Even if you pass out, get tongue-tied, or say something stupid during your talk . . . they won't care! As long as they get something of value, they will be thankful.

You also Need a Purpose That is Right for the Task

One big mistake people make when they speak in public is they have the wrong purpose in mind. Often, they have no specific purpose in mind, but the one that is operating within them unconsciously causes a whole lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety.This is a prime example of what is call a "hidden cause" of public speaking stress. 

All the statement above had been said by Morton C. Orman, M.D on his study of how to conquer public speaking fear. Im quite interested on this three principle how to conquer fear in public speaking. Its seem logic and can be use by us to improve our public speaking sessions next time....
