Tips to calm public speaking fears


Public speaking is a great tool to generate publicity.

Do you worry about on-the-job speaking? Relinquish worry and improve your professional communications by learning to relax.

Use the following techniques to help you relax.

Stand tall, with both feet planted squarely on the floor, under your hips.

Raise your arms and stretch as high as possible.

Drop the arms and rotate the shoulders backward and forward to loosen them.

Move your head slowly from side to side to relax the neck.

Swing your upper torso from side to side, gently, to loosen the waist muscles.

Stretch the back throat muscles with deep yawns, letting the jaw drop completely

Close your eyes and breathe deeply several times as you inhale and exhale slowly.

You should be feeling very relaxed. Whenever you experience tension, practice this routine to help you reduce the tension.
