Are You Paralyzed With Fear Every Time You are Faced With Public Speaking?

Now you may be thinking to yourself – my fear is much worse than anyone else’s. It can never improve. 

Well that may be true, but I have had numerous people tell me that only to be shocked when we started to work together. They would let me know that they never realized how quickly and easily they could start overcoming their phobia of speaking in public.  

For instance, one area that we often talk about is paradigms. Now “paradigm” is a fancy word used to describe your outlook or your perception of your situation. The problem is, we are extremely subjective. When reacting to a situation we don’t think of whether we are perceiving it accurately, we just accept our interpretation as reality and move on. 

Now I know… You’re the most objective person around – especially when it comes to your fear of public speaking. I understand. 

But what If I could share with you a paradigm that might be wrong? Would you be willing to truly examine it and change your viewpoint? If so, then you could be well on your way to conquering your fear.

One area that speakers often misinterpret is the attitude of their audience. They consider the audience to be judging them – watching for every little slip up and mistake. Speakers’ imaginations often run wild with thoughts of the audience running through a mental score card – oh, the audience member thinks, “s/he stumbled over three words and had to gather her/his thoughts for ten seconds. Obviously I’m not going to pay attention to her/him.” 

However when the same speakers are asked to think about their own attitudes as audience members they realize that there is a disconnect. As audience members they weren’t keeping a mental score card - they were simply trying to learn the information that the speaker had to share. In fact, rather than judging the speaker they were more likely to try to assist if s/he stumbled or forgot her/his place.

Is that the way it is with you? Are you expecting your audience to judge you? In fact, do you know that they are judging you? Chances are they’re not (silently) criticizing nearly as much as you perceive them to be. 

Starting to change your paradigm about your audience and some others common misperceived areas has provided immediately relief to countless people who have visited http://www.EffectivelySpeaking.Com.  

You might be thinking, “Okay, I have a misperception about my audience.” I’m not sure that I can change it. Just how much effort does it take? Do I even want to change it?” 

I understand – and that’s why this site is here. I want to share with you just how easy it is to start changing your paradigms as well as some other ways of dealing with your fear. I have carefully created five reports that will help you start conquering your phobia of public speaking. Please let me know your first name and email address so that I can send them to you.

Since I received my first e-mail from you and reading the information on your website. I have seen improvement in my nervousness already. Public speaking is already improving.

Thank you so much.

I was anticipating a nervous evening for myself, as I would be speaking in front of 50 - 60 people in a church setting.

I received David’s reflection on fear and felt encouraged to read about the fact that the nervousness we feel as public speakers is often not noticed by the audience.

I was concerned that the rapid heart rate that sometimes accompanies public speaking would become a distraction from the experience I was trying to create for the congregation.

Much to my surprise, I thought of his words as I began to speak and the initial nervousness just melted away. I was able to speak with boldness, clarity, and confidence.

I am grateful for David’s words around fear, for the fact that I just happened to read them at the appropriate time, and for the reassurance they offered me as I went into a potentially scary situation that turned out to be a blessing instead.”
