TODAY’S POWERFUL TOPIC - STAGE FEAR
This is a very common problem in Public Speaking. There are many reasons for it.
Stage Fear Reason #1:
They’re not prepared FULLY. And because of that, they struggle with last-minute nervousness or stage fear.
Stage Fear Reason #2:
They fear being judged. They fear being seen “differently.” They want to “fit in” just like average people. Hence, they have stage fear.
Stage Fear Reason #3:
They’re not familiar with the audience or environment. And the discomfort ignited internal stage fear.
Stage Fear Reason #4:
They lack the right public speaking techniques. YES - there are techniques to enter a zone of “CALM & CONCRETE CONFIDENCE.”
Stage Fear Reason #5:
Negative past experience. If you have some sort of a history of giving not-so-great speeches, those memories are a bit of hard to NOT think about, especially before a speech.
Stage Fear Reason #6:
No mentor to push them toward greatness. If you have no mentor, you’re WAY behind. And that makes you RETAIN the stage fear.
