How To Build Self-Confidence In Public Speaking

By John W. Barker


If you are looking for an answer to this question, you'll find it here. While I won't share with you the secret that will make you a confident person within a few days (there's no such thing), I'll show you three things that will help you fight with your shyness and improve your self-confidence (if you put them to use). Here they are! Don't give a damn what anyone thinks about you.Les Brown said that other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. Remind yourself of this quote daily.Confident people don't care what other people think of them. When you do that, you tend to concentrate on other people's opinion instead of improving yourself. And that can make you feel insecure. Whenever you notice that you're worrying what other people think, change your thoughts to something positive. Control your thoughts!
[How To Build Self Confidence]


The perception you choose for yourself, good or bad, is how you showcase yourself to the world. If you choose to showcase yourself as a loser then that is how the world will see you. How can you expect the world to treat you better than how you treat yourself?With that in mind I decided to share my tricks for building self-confidence and becoming the person that you've always wanted to be. The first technique I recommend for building self confidence is to use positive affirmations.Affirmations.These are the stock weapon for most players in the self-help, personal development, and motivational industries, and they are so prevalent for a reason - they work. Most people like to use affirmations as a tool to remind themselves of the good and positive things in their life. While this certainly is a big part of affirmations it fails to address the need to foster the traits that you might not currently possess but wish to in the future.

Join a gym and start working out, start jogging, take up a new sport (extreme sports, martial arts etc.). Join some interesting classes (dance, cooking etc.), join Toastmasters, start learning a new language, acquire some new skills. Start traveling more (traveling alone will extremely improve your self-confidence).The richer your life is, the more confident you feel. The more you experience, the bigger your comfort zone is. And that means that you're getting more confident with every new experience. Take action - the world is waiting for you!

Now, realize your strengths and capabilities; look back to your achievements. Highlight your strengths. Perhaps it would help if you jot down all the things you have accomplished, the successes you have earned, be it very small or great ones. It could be a medal or trophy from high school, or as simple as a "good job" from a teacher or a friend. Write down the good qualities in you; the things other people say you are good at. It could be in the field of sports, culinary, music, leadership, time management, housekeeping, gardening, teaching, or as simple as making friends. Note it all down and you will be surprised how long your list would be.

After you have undergone these steps, you should be ready to commit yourself to success. Obligate your self that you will confidently stand out there and deliver your speech like there is no tomorrow. Do this with willingness. Forcing your self to commit will not help. To be more exciting, try orally promising to yourself in front of the mirror that you will do your part with the best of your abilities. Good luck!

Affirmations work so why not give it a go? Maybe you'll meet someone special too.Zac Sky is a 27 year old entrepreneur, consultant, writer, motivator, data geek, and sports-lover, with a mindset for being positive, loving life, and experimenting.By age 25, Zac had gained two university degrees, drafted his first self-help book, and founded Sixteen Threads, an Australian software development company, which delivers custom mobile applications.First and foremost, resolve to spend the time it will take to learn how to build self confidence. Over time and with patience you will reap enormous benefits.

Know that true beauty comes from the inside. You might say this is a cliche but in that case it is a true cliche. When you are pleased with yourself on the inside it will show on the outside. You can have all the qualities for outer beauty, but if you dont feel beautiful on the inside it will affect your outer look negatively. Most people are spending a fortune and a lot of time (=life) to fix their outer look, when what really makes one successful is the inner look. When your inside is beautiful your outer presence will shine.

Get to know yourself. Taking time to relax and calm down is a great way of finding yourself. Many people have difficulties spending time with themselves. I say you should spend a lot more time alone, with only your own company. This is a great way to get to know yourself better. If you always rush and always need to be in someone elses company you miss the chance to get to know a big part of yourself. When you get to know your real self better you will find new things about yourself, things you can bring with you when you go out and meet other people. This will increase your self-confidence.

Exercise Self Control.Step two - develop the ability to control your thoughts and inner dialogue, to continue the very satisfying process of learning how to build self confidence. Developing self control is essential, and it can only be developed through deliberate mental training - similar to become more physically fit by physical training and exercise. People often fail to develop self control because they mistakenly regard it as limiting their freedom. The truth is exactly the opposite. By exercising more control over your actions and thoughts, you can draw on this to help you achieve more of what you want in your life.

Say I love you. These three words are universal and very powerful. When you feel love for someone or something you feel good, and when you express the words with emotions to anybody your self confidence will multiply. You can say I love you to another human, but you can also say it to life or to a flower, a tree or an animal. We all have our own beloved ones. When you express your love you make someone happy, and make their self-confidence grow and when you get another humans self-confidence to grow your own self-confidence will grow. Dont forget the most important person to express your love to, yourself. Because if you dont have love for yourself you will certainly not have any love to give to others.
