Michelle Yozzo Drake - Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking

“Fear of public speaking ranks higher than fear of DEATH! Michelle Yozzo Drake reveals her secrets for overcoming the fear of public speaking to deliver powerful presentations”

How to Overcome Fear of Public Speaking: Be a Confident Speaker

“”There are many speaker myths out there that need to be dispelled in order to overcome the fear of public speaking,” says Larina Kase and Harrison Monarth, authors of “The Confident Speaker.”
One is, if you’re anxious you will not perform well. In reality we actually need anxiety to perform well; we just need the right level of anxiety. People start getting a little nervous, they feel their heart beating quickly and they think oh no, I’m anxious, I’m not going to do a good job when we found in research that in fact when people are a bit anxious they do a fine job.
You can be proactive and learn supportive, empowering strategies that will help you to go from scared speechless to confident speaker…”

These days, powerpoint slides are very common for business or sales presentations.

How to conduct effective powerpoint shows?

Here are some powerpoint presentation tips as stated in the Toastmaster International website:

“Keep your visual aids:

• Visible
• Simple
• Colorful, but don’t let them upstage you
• Justified by the content — not too many or too few slides

For effective PowerPoint shows:

• Don’t read the slides to your audience!
• Make your text large.
• Choose colors that make the text easier to read.
• Use bullet points instead of full sentences.
• Don’t let the text or graphics fly around too much.
• Avoid charts and diagrams that are hard to see.

Most Importantly - Remember, you control the presentation; don’t let it control you. PowerPoint should be a “visual aid” – not the entire show.”

In the Basic Competent Communication Manual by the Toastmaster International , there is a project helping you to “Get Comfortable with Visuals Aids”.

Just join a toastmaster club and learn how to conduct effective powerpoint presentations.

Please also find the below video by Don McMillan. He gives a short comedy sketch around powerpoint presentations and the common mistakes that people make.
