Hello Tina. I was reading your comment on AB’s post on Speech Power and I thought it will be great to share with you some of the tips that I have picked up along the way… Do read CNN Larry King’s book on ‘How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere : The Secrets of Good Communication’. It will provide you some tips on overcoming anxiety of public speaking. It was interesting to read the King was a radio DJ before moving to television. One of the tip that he share was to practice speaking infront of the mirror. The other tip that I would like to share with you is to use powerpoint as part of your presentation so as the focus will be more on the presentation rather than the presenter. Good luck and it was great to catch up with you. Take care!!!
I couldn’t bring myself to rehearse in front of the mirror, it made me feel downright ridiculous, but I think I should try until I feel really comfortable.
Muchos gracias, Senor! It was nice to catch up with you too!
