\u00a0<\/strong>What is stage fright?<\/strong>\u00a0It is a lack of self-confidence due to the fear of not meeting the expectations of your audience. You can be a great professional, know your job very well; but at a certain point self-confidence decreases.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bf<\/strong>Why does it occur?<\/strong>\u00a0It may be due to a mental dialogue that one makes himself anticipating negative things. For example, when we make a presentation to a higher level audience. When this happens we are more afraid because we think that they may boycott us or ask a question that we will not know how to answer. Another possible cause is having received negative criticism that has not been digested well. Somehow an emotional dependency is created with the public, and although you know perfectly well what you do, you are afraid of blocking yourself or not measuring up in some way.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Is it common to find these fears among managers or workers within companies?<\/strong>\u00a0It is more common than it seems. In fact, one of the most requested trainings is on making effective presentations or how to impact the audience. One thing is what you know, and the other is that it is useful to others and adds value to them. A presentation does not end when you have finished speaking, but when you receive the feedback<\/em> of the public.<\/p>\n

When carrying out these trainings, where is the most impact?<\/strong>\u00a0Apart from knowledge and verbal and non-verbal communication; We have a lot of influence on the internal attitude. Are you willing to share your knowledge and enjoy that moment? Furthermore, you have to know your audience beforehand to be more effective. This way you can modulate the presentation based on what others need.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Does stage fright have a solution? How can it be combated?<\/strong>\u00a0The important thing is to practice and dare to do it. Many people avoid presentations and delegate them, and end up becoming more afraid.<\/p>\n

In fact, he has published the three keys to achieving it in his book. Which are?<\/strong>\u00a0The first is the attitude, it must be positive. We should not be afraid of error, we are human! We have to create a very close environment. I do not at all agree with presentations where the speaker hides behind a lectern or a table. At a conference you must walk among the people, feel that we are the same team. This is noticeable and you end up distributing the weight of the presentation, which stops being a monologue and becomes a dialogue.<\/p>\n

What else?<\/strong>\u00a0The second step is empathy with the public. Do not think that you are more than others because you are an expert on the subject, but rather that you are available to the public. In fact, the public can also enrich you a lot, because nowadays they are very informed. Stage fright can arise when you don't accept that perhaps someone knows more than you.<\/p>\n

And the third?<\/strong>\u00a0The third is to apply creativity: surprise people and exceed their expectations, while at the same time you must be concrete to make good use of your time. It is vital to get out of the routine.<\/p>\n

Are the classic butterflies in the belly good?<\/strong>\u00a0This is essential. When you feel them it means that you want to give your best and that you have respect for your audience. We have all come across someone who talks to themselves at some point. They like to talk so much that they are actually good speakers, but they don't contribute anything. They don't have butterflies, they go out and talk as if they were at home. We must have adrenaline to give our best, and this concern is good, to fulfill the commitment we have with the public. We should not make the butterflies disappear from our tummies, but rather manage them well.<\/p>\n

\"DIVIERTASE_hotel

Can a shy person end up enjoying themselves while communicating?<\/strong>\u00a0I'm sure, but it takes practice. When we do a presentation at the end it's like being a bit of an actor. You have a stage, an audience and you have to accept that you are playing a role. It doesn't mean that you deceive anyone, but at that moment you take on the role of the expert who is sharing his knowledge. You can be shy in intimate or family life, but not here; You have to take a role that doesn't allow you to be shy. We must think that if we have prepared ourselves, we deserve to succeed.<\/p>\n

Should oral presentation and debate need to be more educated? <\/strong>Yes, definitely. You have to be able to defend different opinions, although it is always easier to do so with the one you agree with. Luckily, now there are many universities focused on this because it is necessary in practically all sectors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>However, are we still far from other cultures where this training is more developed?<\/strong>\u00a0It is clear that in the United States, for example, there is much more tradition in this sense. Here, however, it is already beginning to be done. Schools increasingly encourage presentations, assembly discussions and participation. This makes young people increasingly more daring than those of 40 or 50 years old. We are doing well, but companies should also encourage this training because some managers have this handicap and if no one detects this need... It is even seen in meetings, where there are people who do not dare to speak for fear of making a mistake or making a fool of themselves. If you don't break with it, in the long term you can fall into stage fright.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
