Fear
of Public Speaking
The
fear of public speaking
is called glossophobia (or, informally, "stage fright") is believed to
be the most common type of human phobia.
Fear
of speaking in public affects as much as three quarters of the
population and is ranked even above the fear of death. As Jerry
Seinfeld has said, "The average person at a funeral would rather be in
the casket than doing the eulogy."
Many
careers require some ability in public speaking, for example presenting
information to clients or colleagues, or it may be something as simple
as a speech at a family gathering.
It's
A Crazy Notion
When
you think about the fear of public speaking, it really is a crazy
notion. All through our lives we speak thousands of words every day, to
our friends and family, to complete strangers, we even talk to
ourselves and it does not cause us any concern at all. In fact if you
think about it, we are already experts speakers, the only thing we have
to come to terms with is the scale of our audience.
Are
You Scared Of Driving In The Traffic?
If
we look at public speaking and compare it to something else we do on
almost as often, take driving your car for example. The fear we
demonstrate of public speaking would be exactly the same as if we were
scared of driving our cars in traffic, and would only consider driving
ourselves about when there were few or no other cars are on the road.
Yet
this is exactly what we do when the time comes to present a formal
speech, whether it’s a wedding speech as a best man, perhaps an
acceptance speech or a speech given at retirement. Any thought of
speaking in public, in fact any speech in front of an audience at all
and the panic soon sets in.
The
I.Q. of a Foot Stool
Our
IQ’s seem to drop to that of a foot stool and our confidence flees for
the nearest Exit. Is it because we are afraid that we will make fools
of ourselves, the truth of the matter is most audiences want the person
making the speech to succeed, to do well. The reason for this unspoken
support is that the vast majority of the people in your audience know
exactly how hard making a speech can be, not to mention how glad they
are that it is you up there at the rostrum or holding the microphone
and not them.
Public
speaking
can be one of the most rewarding (and profitable) skills that any of us
can master - you may even find that you enjoy it. I think we all agree
that being able to handle ourselves we in a public speaking situation
or any speaking opportunity would have a very positive effect on our
lives, our careers and our confidence.
Public speaking is
considered to be one of the most important and valued skills that you
can possess. Being able to speak well in public can help to engage and
move an audience for whatever purpose you choose.
Language
and Rhetoric
Use
are among two of the most important aspects of public speaking and
interpersonal communication. Having a good knowledge and understanding
of the use and purpose of communication can help to make you a more
effective speaker and communicate your message in a more effective and
charismatic way.
Once you have learned to speak well in public
it will be a skill that matures and grows with you all your life. No
one will be able to take it away from you in a court room or a divorce
settlement. How will you feel, to be able to get up at work or in your
church and volunteer to make a speech. It is possible, and you can to
it too if your want to.
