Speakers often feel prematurely nervous before taking the podium. Nervousness is sometimes reasonable and sometimes not. The nervousness of speaking may be just that you are not used to standing on the stage. If you practice more often, you will gradually overcome this emotion.
- Have a "condescending" mentality
With a "condescending" mentality, there will be a sense of superiority, and with this sense of superiority will gradually eliminate the nervousness of the speech during the speech.
Generally speaking, parents are in front of their children (especially when the children are young), teachers are in front of students, and bosses are able to speak freely and talk freely in front of employees. Instead, look down, and consciously or unconsciously put yourself in the position of the leader.
Beginner speakers, to overcome inferiority complex, must gradually develop this "condescending" mentality.
To be clear, I do not mean that you look down on the audience under the stage, but we must be fully firm in what we share or the purpose of the speech, and believe: my speech is valuable to everyone, and I stand here to speak is qualified!

The attitude of being honest
The specific point is to overcome the mentality of being afraid of making a fool of yourself. Many people are afraid of giving speeches not because they have never been on stage, but because they have embarrassed themselves before, so they are afraid of embarrassing things happening again.
Fear of losing face is a common mentality of all human beings, especially the Chinese! If you take face too seriously in speeches, you often lose face even more. Are you careful?
For example, the example I often give to my students is: "I usually get nervous when I see people who are better than me, but I never exaggerate. If everyone thinks my performance is okay, please tell me with applause..."
In this case, honestly expressing your nervousness and praising the audience in the audience will actually give you more support and encouragement.

- Accept the Mentality of Going with the Flow
People have a mentality of pursuing perfection, so most people imagine many different speech effects before going on stage, and the more they think about it, the more nervous they become.
Because these students all understand that they are going to take the stage anyway. Instead of being afraid, worried, entangled, and nervous, it is better to accept and face it as it is, and spend more time reorganizing and thinking about the framework of my speech, my Substantial questions like what ideas do I want to convey, how do I interact with the audience, and reach consensus.
Expose the stress state in your heart cheerfully. By doing this, you can get rid of the nervousness little by little. In the face of tension, do not shrink back, but will make yourself excited, using the grasp of this emotional mood, you can make yourself reach the most perfect state.
