HOW TO BE CONFIDENT AND RELAXED
WHEN SPEAKING BEFORE A GROUP OF PEOPLE

This article is taken from htpp://confidencetips.blogspot.com, written by Gabriel Daniels. He talked about the powerful tips to help you become a highly effective speaker or presenter. There are the summarized :

1. Prepare thoroughly
Knowing the purpose of your speech will help focus and organize your thoughts, thus allowing you to be relaxed when it comes time to make your presentation. (Visualization exercise are much more effective and powerful when done in what is called “associated” mode).
The more prepared you are overall, the more relaxed you will be before and during your presentation.

2. Wear something appropriate and comfortable for the occasion
When you look good, it will be effect to your presentation.

3. Be convinced that what you have to stay matters
Be convinced of the importance of your message. Doing this will put you at ease and will make you appear more confident. Do your best to speak only to the topics you truly believe in or are passionate about. This will make you much more credible to your audience.

4. Put your self in a “confident” state
One of the best ways that I’ve found is to “act as if “ you were already confident.

5. Keep your attention/focus away from your self …. At all cost
Focus instead on the message you want to bring across to your audience. Come up with an effective way to stop the negative voice in its tracks. The key to interrupt the pattern as soon as you catch it.

6. Breathe naturally and in a relaxed manner
Breathe naturally make you comfortable to start your presentation, but if heart beating is not normal or to fast, take the long breath repeat until you feel comfortable. After that be relax.

7. Speak as if your speaking to a close friend or loved one (in a conversational manner)
Eye contact with the audience is very important thing in the conversational manner as a presenter. And not only will you appear very confident and relaxed, your audience will automatically feel comfortable and relaxed.

8. Always remind your self that’s is okay to make mistakes
Give yourself permission to make mistake. It’s make comfortable for your soul, that’s human being. Don’t blame yourself tightly, it’s become bad person. But, my suggest is don’t make mistake intentionally. Learn form mistake and move on.

9. Express your self fully and freely… with whole your being
Let your conviction, enthusiasm, and passion show. When you are speaking from your very core, just allowing your natural feelings to flow outwards and you tend to forget about fear or nervous.

10. Be completely in the present moment – in the here and now
Keep your thoughts away from the past or future. Immerse your speech completely in what you are doing (focus to speech). This will help you speak greatly in performing at your peak.

11. Avoid the need to gain approval
It’s talking about mental attitude or mindset while you are speaking. Don’t be a negative avoid. Basically, you ought to be like a good teacher who tells his/her students what they need to hear, and not what they want to hear…and you would do it with the understanding that they’re free to walk away or reject your argument if that is what they choose to do.

12. Trust in the power of your mind (More specifically, your subconscious mind). Trust that it will deliver the right words at the right time
If you know your topic really well, your subconscious mind will produce the right words at the right time. if you will only allow it…if you will only trust it. But you must be in the right state for this to work effectively.
You must trust in your mind’s ability to deliver. The more you do this, the more your mind will automatically deliver when you need it to. For some reason, the subconscious mind likes to be trusted. The more you trust it, the more it wants to be worthy of that trust. In other words, it will find ways to justify that you are right in trusting it. And if you don’t trust it, it will also find ways to justify that you are right in not trusting it.
Remember this: The more you trust your mind, the more it will deliver. And the more your mind delivers, the more confident you will become in speaking situations.

13. Decide in advance to tell the truth no matter what
You already know that when you are telling the truth, you are much more relaxed or at ease. And when that happens, it will be all over. Once your redibility goes, everything else goes.

14. Trust that you can handle whatever comes your way
First principle, They’ll say or do the wrong things at times and they’ll just simply laugh it off or make a joke out of it. And then they’ll proceed as if nothing happened. They are able to consistently do this because they have simply learned to trust in their ability to handle whatever comes their way.
Second principle, you will have the strength and courage to tackle anything in life.

15. Apply the “I don’t care “ or “ It doesn’t matter” attitude
Does this mean that you don’t actually care about the outcome? Of course not. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be wasting your time taking the steps leading to that desired outcome in the first place.
Again, your main goal in all of this is to access an empowering state so you can be highly effective in the present moment. And this mental attitude or mindset will help you access that type of state.

16. Speaks as often as possible
Consciously seek ways to speak in front of others. Take advantage of every opportunity to express your thoughts to others - while applying the principles you’ve learned—and your confidence level will skyrocket. In fact, as time goes by, speaking in front of others will feel more and more comfortable and natural to you.
With constant practice, you gain more mastery. And as you gain more mastery, your confidence grows.
