Speaking in public with confidence is a topic that can be a headache or scary for many. Presenting yourself or a topic to a group of people is not always easy however, public speaking with confidence is vital in today’s business. Let’s look at some tips that can help you lose your fear of public speaking. 

To gain confidence, whether in a speech, conference or any event, you must organize the topic, prepare it and, of course, practice delivering it. It is essential that you verify all the information you are going to share and familiarize yourself with the topic you are going to talk about, this way you will gain confidence and your nerves will not play a trick on you. 

Talk about things you know very well. Speaking about a topic that you dominate will give you confidence when doing public speaking. So if you research your topic well and you have experience on it then it’s very easy to speak in public. 

When you show self confidence, you inspire everyone to trust you. Self-confidence is key when transmitting information to an audience. You have to learn how to show self confidence so that others believe in your message.

Although words are important when giving a speech, they must be supported by the way you move and gesticulate. There are gestures that convey nervousness, such as moving quickly, rubbing your hands or putting them in your pockets. Stand tall but natural and move with confidence to transmit self confidence. 

All those who are watching and listening to you are human like you. And they want you to succeed. Avoid seeing the public as a threat to keep your nervousness under control. Focus on the person in the public that is nodding, paying attention to you or smiling. 

Moving and speaking slowly is important so as not to transmit nervousness. When giving a speech or any talk in public, regulating the speed of the words and the progress of the topic is essential for everyone to get the message. Create pauses, take the necessary time, make them feel comfortable with what you say and how you say it.

The fear of being wrong pushes us to make mistakes. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, use a wrong word or gesture, thinking that you can never be wrong will put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Speak to the public as if you were talking to a friend, be natural and genuine and that will speak the world for you.
