Your 3-minute firewalk preparation to surmount fear of failure
00:00 Too often people making a presentation lack confidence and it shows up. If you are well prepared, know your stuff, focus on your goal and have rehearsed accordingly, you can't miss it. Provided you concentrate. Before your firewalk, capitalize on your inner strength. YES! you'll succeed and convince. Take 1 minute to zero in on your inner strength!
01:00 You still feel a bit stressed? Not well in balance? Come on, it's now a question of breathing. Take another minute to exercise. It would be a good idea to do it now. And, of course, right before your firewalk... BREATH.
02:00 Inner strength? --All set. Breathing? --All set. Now concentrate on facial and gestual expression. Be sure you don't gesticulate. Or have a dreadful face. Smile. Make eye-contact. Relax. Know all this? Perfect. Let's see. Put yourself in front of a mirror and look at yourself. Looking self-confident? Start with your introduction. Look at your face, your arms! What do you think of your attitude? Excelling depends on YOU. Expand on this and you're ready to fire off on all cylinders! 03:00
Strong determination and morale combined with good preparation should automate inner strength perception by your audience. Showing relaxation can be easily reached through breathing mastery. Self-control translates into positive facial and gestual expression. These techniques are part of my Black Belt Presenter™ 2-day intensive and hands-on workshop.
