Some people lose out on the tremendous opportunities for advancement in life by avoiding such things as job interviews or facing the boss for promotional meeting and reports, and most would rather die than make a speech in public.
There seems to be no problem in speaking at length to your family or you close friends about all sorts of subjects and yet suddenly “Fear” overcomes us when we are asked to “Speak” in public.
So this first article I hope will go some way to helping you overcome these fearful feelings and encourage you to tackle many of the things that you have avoided in the past and that includes the “Dreaded Public Speaking”.
So let’s look at this thing called “Fear”…..
"Fear Factor" is one of my favourite TV shows. It highlights the courage of the participants to engage in the most fearsome and disgusting acts.
Most of the contestants are willing to sacrifice their dignity for the sake of the prize money. So what does that imply? It implies that with the proper mindset, determination, and will power, you can conquer your fear.
Everyone has some sort of fear. It may be brought about by any one or more of the following reasons.
1) by a traumatic past incident (like being bitten by a dog)
2) by the influence of other people
3) by their own negative way of thinking
Now unless you have had some previous embarrassing or frightful experience when speaking in public, the fear of public speaking must all be “in the mind”, and if this is the case, then we can control and overcome it.
So, are you going to let fear take over your life? Will you remain a hostage of your fear forever?
You must take the necessary steps to overcome your fear. Remember, it's all in the mind.

Do you envy other people when you see them enjoying wild rides, and you're just stuck in a corner because you're too terrified to give it a try?
My suggestion is to face your fear head-on. Imagine yourself enjoying the experience instead of exaggerating the things that make you worry. (Unless of course you have health problems, then taking wild rides may not be a good idea).
Do you want to be a doctor but you're afraid that your intellect can't handle the pressure or you're worried about financial insecurity?
Well here's the good news. If you're really determined to achieve your deepest desires, a powerful force will enable you to reach them amidst every obstacle that comes in the way. I'm not kidding. Someone or something will always be there to help you attain your goals. Just have faith in your abilities.
Your will power has the utmost capacity to accomplish anything with the proper mindset. You could use visualisation to help you in defeating any kind of fear. Just see yourself doing the thing that you fear and actually enjoying it.
For example, - Are you afraid of heights? Then imagine yourself being on top of a mountain, overseeing the magnificent sights. Enjoy and feel the moment. Take away all worries and anxieties.
Then just do it! Face it head on! Go to the top of a building and savor the great feeling of being able to face your fear.
This applies to whatever thing that triggers your fear factor. Just imagine being able to defeat it, then confront it with the definite belief that you have the capacity to do everything you want if you just put your mind to it.
Face the thing you fear the most and you'll never have to fear anything again in your life.
So when it comes to public speaking, go for that important job interview, or say, “Yes!” to making the speech at the family wedding or important event.
Once you say, “Yes, I’ll do it”, the decision has been made and the secret then is down to preparing yourself for the event.
