Managing Presentation FEAR !

Laith Hofayz Episode 17

Everybody feels stress before public presentations what we are afraid of:  FEAR is actually a very cleaver acronym:

False
Evidence 
Appearing 
Real

Most of you fear is generated from simply ‘not  knowing’ you’re intended outcome.

You know this may cause embarrassment or humiliation, so it causes you to be fearful. 
Public speaking is treated by our brain as one of our  greatest and most stressful events - so our body releases stress hormones, adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol.

These hormones are released to help us fight in any ‘risky situation’.  

The effects are increase of heart rate, elevated blood pressure, dry mouth, shaking hands or legs, muscles tense-up and you may very well have a problem with the flow of speech.
There are a  whole multitude of actions you can take to  overcome this anxiety.  Here we focus on what I believe are the Top 4 anti-stress activities atet will help you very quickly.


Breathing, deep breathing exercises
Positive Visualisation Physical Activity / HIIT exercise (Run, Cycle, Swim, or simple walk)
The 3 x3P’s  (Planning, Preparation, Practice) 

There are many others, but on a practical level you should also consider:

Food prep before important presentation,- eat what you normally Eat 
Sleep Well
Bad News: Don’t open email and/or post - if potential bad news
Negative People: Don’t speak to negative people ahead of your presentation
