Public speaking is a common source of stress
for everyone. Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely,
but this is hard to do. Whether we work alone or with large numbers
of people, eventually we will need to speak in public to get certain
tasks accomplished. And if we want to be leaders or achieve anything
meaningful in our lives, we will often need to speak to groups,
large and small, to be successful.
Why
is public speaking such a source of anxiety? Here are some of the
main possible reasons for this "stage fright":
Unfamiliar situation
- because most people speak formally to an
audience only rarely, the novelty of the situation is a cause of
apprehension
Lack of confidence
- stems often from a feeling that others are better speakers than
ourselves, or that they know more about the topic in question
Sense of isolation
- the speaker is alone and vulnerable
Self-consciousness
- about our accent, grammar, voice and image generally
Fear of looking foolish
- we may worry that we will forget what we wanted to say, and will
stumble over our words, or will say the "wrong" thing
The truth about public
speaking, however, is IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL! If you
correctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress, if
you keep just a few key principles in mind, and if you use this
Hypnostyx programme to eliminate any possible physical and
psychological limitations. Speaking in public will soon become an
invigorating and satisfying experience for you.
The Hypnostyx ‘Conquer your fear of public speaking’ programme
consists of two sessions. The first is intended to help you
understand the reason why speakers experience the stress they do and
to offer some practical help and advice on how to organise a
successful speaking engagement.
Accompanying the first session are numbered information cards to be
used when indicated during this session.
The first session is intended for the conscious mind and does not
include hypnosis or hypnotherapy.
The second hypnotherapy session is designed to talk directly to your
subconscious mind to ensure that you become a calmer, more relaxed
and more confident speaker.
