Having good public speaking skills is great! We always get to hear that “You must have good public speaking skills” “You must have good public speaking skills” But for someone who doesn’t even have a base and throughout his/her life have always avoided it how to engage in it all of a sudden? Telling someone who never has engaged in public speaking to engage in it is equivalent to telling a class 1 student to solve the physics numerical of class 11. It’s hard. Forget about hard it’s close to impossible. Moreover it’s impossible. But in the end that class 1 student whom we locked at one day does reach class 11 and does solve that problem. Similarly we must also reach to a point someday when we become capable of having good public speaking skills. So here are some tips to just create a base to just interact with people before even engaging in public speaking.
The first tip is to talk to people more frequently. Be it the delivery man, your co-worker, your friend anyone! Talk to people. Don’t feel hesitant. Start of by engaging yourself in just informal talks that you would have with friends, co-workers etc. You would not get killed if you speak the wrong thing with them. At first it would be hard but as you go on and on and engage more you would not only have created friends with whom you would interact and share your ideas but you would have also gotten rid of your fear of interacting with people. Just like how a baby chicken hatches from the egg you to my friend, you would have also hatched from your fear.
Once you would have started to engage yourself with people that fear of speaking at all would have completely disappeared. It’s very important to understand the root cause of why people face huge nervousness if they are told to interact with people. Why do some people try to escape opportunities where they have to interact with people? A lot of such people are mostly affected by an event that happened to them a long ago. The people today who are the quietest could once be the most interactive people. It could turn out those people could have been humiliated in a large crowd that single handedly left a huge impact on them. If you happen to be such type of people then take therapy. Listen to motivational videos, read struggle stories of some famous personalities. Basically, if you need help try to get help.
In conclusion, this step of engagement you take would help you to go further.
