Do your hands, arms, knees or your
entire body tremble when you speak in public? Do you
experience a pounding of the heart, unusual rush of
blood to your face, fast breathing and/or shaking
voice? Does your mouth become dry and your tongue
become heavy? Do you forget what you had planned to
say? Have you felt like you have nothing to offer,
even though you have lived for 20 or more years, you
have a job/career/calling, you have a family, have
been sick, downsized, rejected or bitten by a dog? |
You have hope for good things if you experience any or
all the above. You are still alive, you can do
something about your fear of public speaking and you
are not alone.
Cicero, renown world speaker and philosopher said, "I
turn pale at the outset of a speech, and quake in
every limb and in all my soul." Read Exodus to
learn about Moses' fear of public speaking. John
Dryden described his fear of public speaking this way,
"Whenever I speak a cold sweat trickles down all
over my limbs as if I were dissolving in water."
Time and space limit what I can reveal at the moment.
But I know how it feels to have running stomach,
sleepless nights and disappointed audience.
What is the main cause of the fear of speaking in
public?
1.
|
You want the approval of others
but feel like it's impossible to win that
approval. |
2. |
You fear to fail. |
3.
|
You are afraid that the audience
will laugh or leave as you speak or worse yet
throw you out.

1. |
Only speak on something that is dear to you. You
must speak from deep conviction. In fact, it is like the
subject chooses you! Nothing destroys my fear of public
speaking like a common experience that I share with my
audience. I grew up in Kangundo, Kenya, but speak mostly
in America. Yet, 99.9% of the time I have a shared
experience with my audiences. |
2. |
It’s not about you but the subject and the audience.
When you forget how you will be received, you will focus
on the importance of the subject and the audience’s life
after learning the subject. |
3. |
Become a master of the subject. If you don’t fear
forgetting what you plan to say, you are on the way to
becoming a great speaker. |
4. |
Speak. Speak at every opportunity you get. Seek and
create opportunities to share your thoughts. I have made
my livelihood from this noble calling we call professional
speaking for twelve years. But I still call Lions,
Kiwanis, Rotary, Toastmasters (my favorite) and other
organizations so that I can keep practicing. These groups
don’t pay in dollars but give you a platform to hone your
skills and most of them feed you, too. |
5. |
Learn to move when you speak but not like a caged wild
animal. Meaningful physical activities are known for
reducing the fear of public speaking. |
6. |
Keep some nervousness. It helps you to never take
for granted the privilege of touching lives. Use the
nervousness to create a new beginning for your listeners. |

How to Make Your Speech Add VALUE for
Your Audience |
1.
|
Be authentic - clones are easily detected and dismissed |
2.
|
Be aware of what they care to learn about from your speech
|
3.
|
Be believable – why should they rely on your story? |
4.
|
Be consistent - your life off the platform is part of your
speech |
5.
|
Be someone’s stepping stone—inspire, challenge and heal
with your story |
6.
|
Be available for one-on-one “talk” after your speech |

When economy heads south, marketing budget is the first
item to be cut. Since the onset of the current recession,
media outlets have experienced significant decline in
revenue, from advertisements, that they are yet to
recover. The small business category has not been spared
the woes of bad times. However, experts concur that there
is need for creativity in marketing, using strategies that
require zero to minimum capital input to keep your
products/services in the eyes and ears of consumers.
|
|
There are basics of marketing that business schools don’t teach.
Like, if you and your competitors sell mashed potatoes, you must
differentiate yourself by providing unique gravy. Schools also don’t
teach that good marketing for poor quality products and services is
an excellent way to get out of business. In marketing, especially in
chaotic times such as today economic climate, to thrive a marketer
of goods/services should be good before the marketplace tells
him/her.
With the above perspectives in focus, entrepreneurs can then use
existing platforms to promote their products and services. Do you
know the power of being interviewed about your business or your
involvement in the community by your local newspaper or radio or TV?
You pay nothing for interviews or having your photo and write-up in
the local events section of your newspaper or for press releases and
much more.
Another strategy is to outthink your competitors. For instance, why
would you send a Christmas card or gift to a prospect or customer
who is receiving hundreds of cards and gifts from your competitors?
What impact or impression would your card or gift have if it is
received on Mothers or Fathers Day or any other time when your
target is not encumbered with other items? Your marketing has to be
magnetic… that is having a strategy that makes your company (plus
products/services) the first thing a customer thinks of when he/she
or someone else they know has a need of products/services similar to
what you offer. Remember the wisdom of the ages, “Out of sight, out
of mind.” Be sighted often.
