Speaking Your Mind Improves Self-Confidence | Design Your World
For most people, the mere thought of speaking in front of an audience makes men’s hands moist, and their hearts beat like a racing car engine.
Statistics show that most people fear public speaking more than knowing the day they will die.
This indicates that, for the most part, people prefer to die in silence than to have the chance to say what they think in the community.
Perhaps it is conformity and fear of saying something pointless.
The importance of public speaking lies in the fact that, as social bodies, the ability to get your message across in the right way will do you better than trying to do the same better thing… in silence.
Crouching forward constantly to work is virtually useless if the boss doesn’t even notice.
The importance of public speaking is that it is inevitable.
Sooner or later, you will be forced to enter the arena and speak to a sea of eyes and ears.
Before that happens, it would always be better to face this challenge on your terms. Here are some points to consider:
People at work who can communicate better climb the ladder faster.
Employers prefer to hire people with the skills to speak in public and communicate.
This is because talking to your colleagues makes them comfortable about you, helps you get your work done faster, and makes what you want uncomplicated.
You feel better about yourself.
Successfully speaking to a live audience improves your self-confidence, perspective, character, and sense of fun.
You become less self-conscious, nervous, and can control higher levels of stress.
This does not mean that you will not make mistakes. Expect some slips the first few times; learn from them and keep going.
If you are consistent, this paralyzing fear of addressing a broad audience will be a thing of the past.
Public speaking has a positive impact on all aspects of your life. Being able to speak publicly opens up new possibilities unimaginable in your previous experience.
You will be more eager to participate in causes you sincerely believe, to socialize more with people of the opposite sex.
You will find yourself asking assertive questions to clarify a problem, take the lead in a cause, or calmly solve a complicated situation without losing it.
The effect of public speaking on your life is exponential. Public speaking is an essential addition to the human repertoire.
Technical knowledge is equally vital, but the ability to speak well takes your skills and talents beyond the borders of your brain and into the hearts and minds of others.
Different teachers and acting techniques often lead young performers to focus on serving the leader of the service, rather than using these tools to better express what is better or unique about them.
No training was done to create a series of prefabricated characters who behave in the same way.
Still, insecurity should lead many to hide behind the technique, instead of using it to launch creativity.
Get into the habit of breathing your own life at work.
The first book I read about acting was “Audition” by Michael Shurtleff. One of your essential tips for success in the audition process is “use it yourself.”
Start by capitalizing on your innate uniqueness and use it to create the character and bring it to life.
Don’t intellectualize, but personalize.
Find out what’s interesting and exciting to you about this aspect and develop it while doing your job. What you have to offer to any “attitude” you play is your most valuable asset.
You can be an architect, and there are many architects out there, but there is only one you.
There is only one architect who has a combination of training, imagination, and passion. And it all comes from a unique point of view in the business — yours.
We live in a world that asks us to estimate whether we are pleasing others continually.
If we adjust our behavior and methods to satisfy every situation or person we encounter, the real person within us is lost.
And the same is true of the unique truth and perspective that each of us brings to the world.
Sometimes, in a rush to please others, we quickly forget what is most pleasant about ourselves.
Speak your truth, with your voice. Give all your inimitable passion and joy to everything you do.
Find those ideas and topics that inspire you and inspire others.
You can recite many impressive statistics and even quote famous people, but in the end, people want to hear from your soul, not just your head: your dreams, your methods, your success, your failures, all of that.
You are manifested in a way that will inspire others to succeed, offering them practical solutions for their life and work.
Our job, in my view, is to become the best “we” we can be, then go out and show many other people how to do the same.
Trust yourself and share your extraordinary charm with the world!
