Top tips for managing nerves in public speaking – Hilary Briggs shares her experience

From Lyn Roseaman, Grosvenor Square Speakers

Hilary horrified everyone at Grosvenor Square Speakers with her terrifying experience of two days to go to present to 2,000 Germans and nothing prepared!  Heart pounding, how to manage her nerves and pull off this challenge gave her pause for thought.

Roll forward to Monday 25 November and Hilary had a lot of top tips about how to deal with our nerves.

It’s natural to be nervous.  We all get nervous.  It’s a physiological response to being afraid.  We adopt a fight or flight reaction.  This has an adverse effect on our ability to speak.  To make ourselves ready for our speech, we need to manage and control our nerves and here are Hilary’s top tips:

Tip 1 – Battle the breathing

Tip 2 – Outwit your brain

Tip 3 – Anchoring

Tip 4 – Your personal wellbeing

Tip 5 – Preparation

The full summary can be found at: http://www.grosvenorsquarespeakers.co.uk/hilary-briggs-shares-her-top-tips-for-managing-your-nerves/

Hilary Briggs is a Distinguished Toastmaster and Lieutenant Governor of Education & Training for UK and Ireland

If you would like help mastering your nerves, please come along to Grosvenor Square Speakers on 9 December at 18:15 in the Cumberland Hotel.  Our first meeting in 2014 is 13 January 2014.  For more information, visit our website: http://www.grosvenorsquarespeakers.co.uk/

We look forward to welcoming you soon
