1. This seven secrets To become more confident in public speaking from Caroline: 1)Prepare for the best and the worst Caroline said, “Put your hand up if you know where your diaphragm is.” learn how to deal with good and bad responses. If people are engaging, say “You’re clearly engaged in that one.” If people are tired, say “I can see you need more energy.”
2. 4)Sing your favourite song -Singing warms up your voice and boosts your energy. It doesn’t matter what songs you sing. Have fun.
3. 5)Talk to your audience as friends How to speak with confidence, I share the importance of visualising the audience as your friends. Don’t give a big speech.
4. 6)Look your best-Confident speakers don’t just sound great; they look great. Caroline had her hair and makeup properly done. Wear your best clothes and look smart.
5. 7)Practice with feedback -Practice doesn’t make perfect; practice with feedback makes great improvement.
6. 2)Know when to close your mouth -Most speakers don’t fully breathe in. Close your mouth so you remember to inhale. You’ll feel more relaxed and have more time to think about what to say.
7. 3) Smell a lovely smell -When we are nervous about public speaking, we hold our breath. Imagine yourself in a beautiful garden surrounded by lovely flowers.
