However, business people, university or college students and high school students are usually more often to speak before their friends or clients. Some of them might be successful and some of them might not. Therefore, the following fear of public speaking tips might help those who commonly experience stage fright to perform before an audience. It is important to note that stage fright or fear of public speaking only happens in thought. Therefore, the best way to overcome this fright is to build positive thinking on what might happen.

There are many fear of public speaking tips you can get from experts or instructors of this field. However, most of them will underline the importance of being relaxed before and during your speech. The very basic and easy tip is to take a deep breath before stepping to the podium. This action will relax your body, reducing the heart beat and blood pressure and keep you mind focus.

Besides being relaxed, another keyword of fear of public speaking tips is practice.

Shot Fired Into Home of Lou Dobbs of CNN!

Pro-Illegal alien Amnesty supporting groups have been spreading lies about Lou Dobbs of CNN, trying to get him fired to censor his free speech, and foment hatred towards him because he stands against illegal immigration and Amnesty. Now, those lies and hatred have manifested in gunfire into the home of Lou Dobbs near his Hispanic wife! The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti Defamation League, the National Council of La Raza, Media Matters, and Geraldo Rivera of Fox News are using false information to foment hatred towards Lou Dobbs or any American who speaks out against Amnesty or illegal immigration. They could not get CNN to fire Lou Dobbs, so now their buddies in the drug and illegal alien importing gangs are likely stepping up. Lou Dobbs is an American hero who is speaking out on behalf of all Americans who oppose illegal immigration and Amnesty for illegals. We as a nation need to unify and rebuke the radical groups and activists that have put Lou Dobbs and his Hispanic wife's lives in danger by spreading lies and hate against an honest man who cares deeply about his nation.

Personality in Professional Speaking

Projecting your personality is an essential tool of anybody who speaks regularly in public.

Without personality, your speech will be as dull as dish water. When you leave your personality at the door, you make it hard for your audience to warm to you. The group have to like your personality before they buy into your message. When you see somebody exuding confidence and personality in their speech in front of a small or large group, it's as if they own the room. Lots of people with a fear of public speaking must only dream of that type of outcome.

However, when you address a large group, you do almost subconsciously become the alter ego of yourself. Liaising with so many people at once isn't easy, but when you positively connect with so many people simultaneously, it is a cathartic experience. One that you will choose to replicate many, many times over your speaking career. If you have a great message and you deliver it consistently well, you will be invited back time after time. It really boosts your confidence and when your audience see your name on the future programme, it gives them something to look forward to.

I have noticed over many years of speaking some subtle changes in myself and my demeanour. Being a professional trainer and speaker, my mindset automatically begins to focus on my audience.

Some years ago, I remember that I had to travel to Brighton to officiate a speaking contest. Some friends lived there and so I took my wife and daughter along to drop them off while I attended the event. Unfortunately, my daughter was sick in the car and screamed for the best part of sixty miles throughout the journey. Exhausted and stressed, I drove to the venue and arrived shortly before the event was due to start. During the journey, I was rightly concerned that I was going to be late and my daughter's screaming was quite unsettling. However, the moment I arrived at the venue, I became immediately calm and focused and was delighted to see so many smiling and friendly faces. I had forgotten the awful journey and I was ready to perform my duties with an air of calm assurance.

Am I a Jekyll and Hyde personality? No, I don't think so. Just one of professional conditioning acquired over many years.

I actually alluded to the journey a few times in my final summary and indeed often use it now as an anecdote when coaching and mentoring executives embarking on their speaking careers.

Personality + focus + increasing experience = SUCCESS!
