How to deal with the Fear of Public speaking?

Has it ever happened to you that you wanted to answer the questions your teacher asked but couldn’t?
And later on, you regretted it because the answer you were thinking in your head was the correct one?
Do you get tongue-tied or stumble when a large crowd stares right into your eyes?
Does this happen with you all the time?

The fear of giving an incorrect answer, the fear of being judged by people around you, the fear of speaking in front of a group— this is what the fear of Public speaking is all about.

Do you know, the fear of Public Speaking is one of the chart-toppers? It has even replaced the fear of death in the number 2 position.
But have you ever given it a thought, why is Public Speaking so scary?
How do you overcome your fears of public speaking?

We bring you three tips to face the fear of Public Speaking and be a great orator.

Number 1: Awareness: Being aware of what scares you— being under the focus of the spotlight, the audience staring right into your eyes, or the fear of forgetting your script? Once you are able to seek what scares you, half the battle is won.

Number 2: Acceptance: Everyone is scared of something or the other. Accepting the facts and working on them is the first step in Public Speaking. Remember, no one is a born speaker. You become one with regular practice.

Number 3: Face the Audience: To be a fluent public speaker, you must face the audience as often as you can. You have to be like a palm tree that stands tall and bears a crown of leaves. But remember, the tallest trees are the most vulnerable to the power of the winds. The higher you go on the scale of life, the greater the suffering.
