Hi all, today, I would like to continue my
previous topic. But today, we talk about the technique of how to overcome fear
of speaking in public. I believe that many of us, especially government
employees ever faced with such problems. Many of us will push each other, if
they are required to speak to the crowd although those who have served in the
department. It's a bit embarrassing. Am i right?
Okey listen.. proper planning of a speech contributes greatly
to speaking with confidence. Self-confidence comes as a natural consequence of
thorough preparation. The method and techniques are designed to reduce our
anxiety and manage our nervousness. These are communication orientation
motivation (COM), Visualization, Systematic desensitization, cognitive
restructuring, and public speaking skills training. Public speaking instructors
are recommended several specific techniques to novice speaker. The first
technique is allowed sufficient time to prepare then practice the speech aloud.
The speaker needs to choose an appropriate time to speak and also use positive
self-talk. The speaker needs to face the audience with confidence and focus on
the message.

The speaker can be more confidence when he or she
has developed an effective speech plan. Speech plan is a strategy for achieving
your goal. An effective speech plan is the result of a six-step process; the
first step is to select a speech goal that is appropriate for the audience and
occasion. The second step is to understand your audience and adapt to it. The
third step is to gather and evaluate information to use in the speech. The
fourth step is to organize and develop ideas into a well-structured speech
outline. The fifth step is to choose visual and other presentational aids that
are appropriate for the audience. And the sixth step is to practice the speech
until delivery is accurate, clear, vivid, appropriate, conversational, and
animated.
For the conclusion, whichever way you decide to
deliver your speech, this is the way you should practice. Practice to be
prepared on facing the fear and apprehension. Practice needed until you have
mastered it and feel comfort on it and until you can speak it naturally to
self-confidence. Carefully planning and practicing a speech that is worthwhile
to your audience will increase your poise so you can speak with confidence and
be a more effective public speaker.
