For
today’s piece I have decided to concentrate on something that proved very
difficult and that was speaking in public.
I
first came across this situation when I was attending Senior School
Now
many years later I have decided that the wisdom she shared was worth sharing
with my readers.
Focus
on what you have achieved rather than on past failures If you are concerned with something that you
consider you have failed at, look closely at it. See what you did right and then decide how next
time you can do things differently and improve on what went awry.
Look
around you and find a role model – a person who has self confidence – watch and
learn from them. What is it that they
do? How do they act? What makes them so
self confident
Discover
ways that can help you to feel good about yourself and put them into practice.
Act
as if you were self confident and slowly but surely you will begin to feel more
confident (The Fake it ‘til you make it principle)
Find
out what it is that people like about you and then shift your focus onto those
things. They are part of who you are and
what people like about about! You should
endeavour to add those to the things that you like about yourself
Preparation
– prepare thoroughly for any task you are about to undertake, making sure that
you are ready to begin. (Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance)
Do
you need any specific skills to do what you want? If the answer is yes then learn them – you
can never be over skilled or over trained for any task in life
Learn
to relax! If you have relaxation skills
identify them and commit to putting them into practice prior to starting the
task you have to do
Whenever
you are working on, or giving, a presentation smile and make sure you are
standing straight
Set
yourself achievable goals, and break harder or more difficult tasks into
smaller steps (this is called chunking)
Give
yourself a small reward for success – it does not matter how small the
achievement is you will associate feeling good with success
Do
not become too competitive – this is not a race against other people.
Do
not compare yourself to other people this process is about you and your self
confidence. Make sure you understand
that you are working to satisfy your
personal needs
