Confidence is the Key –
Predetermine Your Mind To Success
Peter's Placebo:
An ounce of image is worth of a pound of performance.
That's the main secret of being a good
presenter: you have to
be confident and to show confidence.
Be passionate about your topic and
let your passion show.
You must also be
inspired by the deep belief in your cause. To have faith in yourself and
your message, explore all phases of your subject and ask yourself how your
talk will help the audience to get what they want.
Careful preparation
provides the solid ground you need to support your self-confidence. Tell
yourself you can do it, that you are more qualified than any member of the
audience to give this particular talk. |

Do Your Homework
|
Research your topic –
speak
about something you have earned the right to talk about through experience
or study.
Anticipate questions, and make sure you have the facts to answer
them.
Seize every opportunity to practice
– no professional in any field performs without
practicing. Remember, your time in front of a group is your showcase. |

"Develop reserve power", advised
Dale Carnegie,
"assemble a hundred thoughts around your theme, then discard ninety...
Always prepare so that you are ready for any emergency such as a change of
emphasis because of the previous speaker's remarks or a well-aimed question
from the audience in the discussion period following your talk... This will
give you reserve power, the power that makes people sit up and take notice." |
