Seven “I Hate Public Speaking” New Year’s Resolutions

December 29, 2015 by Admin

  1. screen_shot_2015-12-29_at_11.15.01_amResolve to avoid all public speaking.
  2. Realize this is not a sustainable resolution; resolve to mostly avoid public speaking.
  3. Do great at Resolution #2 until someone at work tells you that you have to present at a meeting in two weeks. Resolve to ignore this for at least one week.
  4. The meeting is tomorrow. You panicked for the whole two weeks. Resolve to just get through this presentation.
  5. The presentation is behind you, but the anxiety leading up to it was awful. Resolve never to feel that kind of panic again.
  6. Resolve to quell your fear of public speaking. You take a measured and deliberate approach: you prepare ahead of time, practice in low-stakes situations, get positive feedback, and remember that your job as a speaker is to create an experience for your audience.
  7. Resolve to do more public speaking, since you’re awesome at it! Happy 2016!!
