Nerves are the number one public speaking worry.

Speaking well in public is a leadership essential and a key skill for promoting your brand, business and career.

Pitching to clients, team briefings and speeches are a daily reality for many professionals, yet so many find nerves a challenge.

Angelina Jolie and Harrison Ford have confessed their fear of public speaking, so if you’re a nervous speaker, you’re not alone.

No one’s born with the ability to speak well and you can learn practical skills to control those nerves and deliver a memorable message.

Realising that the feelings we label ‘nerves’ and ‘excitement’ are the same thing, and that you can change your perception, are the first steps in dealing with nerves.

Your audience wants to hear what you have to say, so if you can answer their ‘what’s in it for me?’ question in plain English, you’ll capture and keep their attention.

Using note cards with keywords will help you look better than if you try to memorise, improvise or read aloud word for word.

Rehearse out loud and on your feet, so it all feels familiar, then get in early and practise to get the feel and sound of the room.

At social events, stick to water until your speech is over. You may think you’ll speak better after a drink, but that’s an illusion.

When the moment arrives, stand up comfortably straight, relax your shoulders and connect with friendly eye contact and a smile.

Breathing slowly and deeply from your diaphragm helps you feel calmer and sound better as you say your first few well-practised words.

Yes your heart will still be racing. It’s pumping the energy you need to power your speech and you’ll feel better once you get going.

Enjoy speaking well in public.

Next ADDIE: Evaluate

After any training event, I use Kirkpatrick’s four level evaluation methods, informed by Talheimer’s LTEM.

I’ll investigate audience reaction, their learning and its transfer, evidence of permanent behaviour change and results and RoI to the business.

I’ll then deliver a full post-training evaluation report, with recommended actions going forward.

Once we have the go-ahead, I’ll design the L&D programme, checking in with you to ensure it meets those needs.

I’ll then create anything from a single 1-1 online Power Hour to a full in-house in-person, hybrid or online development programme for your team or whole organisation rollout.

Creating the training products may include:

Pre- and post-course content / Trainer script / Exercises and roleplays / Workbooks, manuals and handouts / PowerPoint design and build etc.

Tech products may include:

Video and audio content / Voice-over and on-camera presentation skills

When you’re happy with the content, we can begin the pilot or immediate rollout.
