Presentation anxiety is a common feeling that comes from fear of public speaking, one of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/2015\/10\/13\/americas-top-fears-2015\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Americans&#8217; most common fears<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s important to understand how to reduce and control these feelings before a presentation so your hard work doesn\u2019t fall flat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether for work or school, you want to deliver a great presentation. The eleven effective tips below are designed to put you in control and help you deliver with confidence before your next presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Map It Out In Advance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mapping out each step of your presentation is a great way to kill uncertainty. Breaking down big jobs into small tasks is so helpful that Penn State crafted an <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/tutorials.istudy.psu.edu\/oralpresentations\/oralpresentations3.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online tutorial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to walk you through the planning process from start to finish. The tutorial recommends focusing on your body content before crafting your introduction and closing statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nail Your Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you know what you are going to talk about, public speaking coach Ellen Finkelstein recommends hitting <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellenfinkelstein.com\/pptblog\/a-good-introductionopener\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">three main points<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your introduction to grab your audience&#8217;s attention:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who are you?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are you talking about?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is the topic important?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finkelstein suggests writing out each answer, then editing them and, finally, practicing delivering them. Doing so gives you the confidence to start your presentation because no decisions are left to the moment of delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice Your Delivery<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill Rosenthal, chief executive of communication training provider Communispond, says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbesleadershipforum\/2013\/06\/19\/the-only-way-to-prepare-to-give-a-presentation\/#57dd5071b84e\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">locking down your presentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will make you a more confident presenter than an inauthentic one. Ever heard of a dancer looking robotic because they practiced their steps too much?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sure fire way to crush some fear is to show yourself how capable you are by practicing your presentation a handful of times before the day comes. If you can, get in front of some friends you trust to get their feedback or record yourself on your phone to look for things to improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish Your Mindset<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand that it&#8217;s a lot easier to focus on negative things and overlook positive ones. For example, it\u2019s easier to think you will give a bad presentation and not about the value the audience is will get only causes further anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication coach Cher Gunderson explains that supporting yourself with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/masteryouraccent.com\/public-speaking-8-mindset-tips-to-give-a-stellar-speech-or-presentation-part-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">positive reinforcement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the best mindset shifts you can take on. She writes, \u201cshift hyper-critical, non-supportive, judgmental thoughts to supportive, balanced thoughts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review The Situation <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if you had your own personal therapist during moments of distress? Well, now you do. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youper.co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an anxiety assistant you can use to analyze your thoughts to anchor them in reality and facts, not false expectations. In just a few minutes, you complete a mini therapy session and gain a healthy perspective on your trigger situation. Users report that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youper.co\/how-it-works\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is just like interacting with a therapist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show Up A Little Early<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to get comfortable with the location and the audience where you\u2019ll present. Walk around, pay attention to the layout of the room, and look for things that could potentially distract you. This will help you feel more comfortable because you\u2019ll snuff out the initial tension of being in a new place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting a few people in the room establishes allies in the audience for you so you don\u2019t feel like you are presenting to strangers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Water On Hand<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever notice that presenters usually have a cup or bottle of water on hand when giving a presentation? Keeping yourself hydrated during a presentation is important because <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calmclinic.com\/anxiety\/causes\/water-dehydration\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dehydration can trigger anxiety symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That\u2019s the last thing you want before you deliver a presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathing Exercises<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get anxious your breathing gets faster. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youper.co\/breathing-calms-anxiety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathing calms anxiety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by guiding you back to a slower rhythm, calming you down in the process. Research indicates that breathing exercises are an <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/rc.rcjournal.com\/content\/59\/2\/209\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effective way to lower anxiety levels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those that find it difficult to focus on their breathing, a guided exercise with audio or a visual to follow will help you focus on your breath through an entire cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visualize A Successful Presentation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine yourself finishing the presentation and hearing the sound of applause. Visualize members of the audience thanking you, or colleagues congratulating you. These positive images help manifest a positive attitude, which will come out during your presentation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visualization isn\u2019t just for improving your attitude. Studies have shown that visualizing an activity can have the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/14998709\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">same effect as real-life practice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Moreover, if you visualize and practice in real life, you are even more likely to do well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remind Yourself Fear Is Normal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fear is normal and helps us avoid danger. That\u2019s great! However, is it dangerous to give a speech? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, fear of public speaking is high on the list of most common fears. Being judged is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/longing-nostalgia\/201506\/tired-being-judged-try\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not something humans are comfortable with<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and giving a presentation puts you in a position where you can be judged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that everyone feels anxious before they present, and you feel this way because the presentation is important to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Calm Down Before A Presentation<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use as many or as few of these tips as you\u2019d like, but I don\u2019t suggest trying to do all of them. That might be harder than giving the presentation! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important thing is to do what you feel you can without adding to the pressure of the presentation.
