4 Easy Steps to avoid stage FRIGHT!

Physical Preparation 101
By: Christopher Persaud


1.    Positive Perception: Start seeing public speaking and all your oral communication tasks as opportunities to “build a bridge” to others … as opportunities to connect … to communicate. Further, start seeing speech as power that must be harnessed

2.    Positive Thinking: The second P requires you to monitor your thinking and determine if your thoughts are positive or negative. If they are negative, your thoughts are defeating you and keeping you from growing as a speaker.

3.    Positive Self-Talk: Whenever your thoughts are negative, you must immediately go into Positive Self-Talk

4.    Positive Breathing: I call this “belly breathing” because you breathe from your tummy instead of from your chest. Positive breathing allows you to control your stress reactions. Do not breathe from your chest. Take two slow deep breaths before you speak and exhale slowly as you focus on your tummy expanding as you inhale, and your tummy deflating as you exhale.\
