this video is gonna make you look good
next time you have to speak in front of
people what's up guys I'm Clark Clark
Kegley comm and I wanted to take this
time today to talk about something that
ranks on the top 10 fears most people
have what do you think those top 10
fears are what he thinks the highest up
there is it spiders might be is a class
true phobia might be Heights might be
one that ranks higher than even death
itself and all those we just mentioned
public speaking three-fourths of people
report a fear some fear of public
speaking speaking in front of people 75%
of people would rather get bit by a
spider in a small space really high up
and maybe die then speak in front of an
audience now what's the problem here
most of us you and I we're gonna find
ourself at some time or another speaking
in front of a group of people maybe this
is a class maybe this is a group of
colleagues and we're presenting maybe
this is a job interview that you have
maybe it's a toast at an event or a
wedding whatever it is you're gonna have
a time where you have to get up and
speak in front of people and I don't
claim myself as a public speaking expert
by any means but I've learned a lot
along the way I've given public speeches
in front of audiences of hundreds of
people I've had podcasting or did public
speaking that got millions of downloads
I've done over 500 of these videos that
are essentially public speaking but I
still get nervous whenever it turns
camera on there's a bit of nerves that
go through me never I get up on stage
there's still those nerves that come
you're still gonna be nervous
you can't get rid of it completely but
you can reduce it using these five tips
let's get into them now tip number one a
lot of times we get nervous when we
speak in front of people because we're
thinking of it as you speaking to 500
people that's not the case what you're
really doing is speaking to one person
500 times every single one of those
people is just a person-to-person
interaction if you could talk to them
one-on-one you can talk to them in a
group of 500 tip number two slow down
the average speaking pace is around 110
to 150 words per minute now most people
when they get on stage they go they go
off they go 200
words per minute I mean it's nuts I was
taking a public speaking course in
University and that was the number one
thing the professor how to film
ourselves and then look at speaking
pieces and it was insane people would
get up there and I was like they're a
Roger Robert given a presentation I'll
only slow down take a few deep breaths
before you go on you're not in a race
against the clock and if you are then
you have too much information simplify
it take a few deep breaths it's gonna be
okay try and minimize the caffeine you
have before you go on I find that tends
to make me really double or triple pace
whatever it is I'm talking about
so minimize caffeine take a few deep
breaths try and get that sweet spot of
110 150 words per minute and you'll be
all set point number three structure
what this does is when you get up there
and say I want to give you the three
things I'm talking about today give him
a little bit of a preview of it
it's gonna give your audience benchmarks
to hit every time you hit these
benchmarks they're gonna feel like
they're making progress in your speech
which is gonna make them more engaged
don't go up there and say the 34 things
I'm talking about today is that's
overwhelming say you know anywhere from
three to seven things is a good number
to talk about point number four act as
if why do we get nervous I'm willing to
bet it's because you and I picture
things going wrong going poorly getting
laughed off the stage we're getting
rejected out of date getting not getting
the interview job saying we're under
qualified whatever it is we're getting
nervous because we really want the
outcome and we see it going bad in our
mind flip that right now see it going
better than it is get excited about the
possibility what if you went into the
job interview thinking you already had
the job not being cocky but that sense
of confidence that that makes you way
less nervous doesn't it
what if you went on the date thinking
the person was already gonna love you
way less nervous what if you got on
stage thinking about the people who
would come up to you after and say you
know great speech phenomenal speech I
learned a lot picture things going well
project that in your mind before you go
on or give that speech and that'll
really help combat those kind of
automatic negative thoughts that's
totally normal that we
have before we speak point number five
one book I absolutely love is how to win
friends and influence people by Dale

made of all time
