Tips to Control the
“Butterflies”

Know the room- Become familiar


with the place of presentation
Know the audience- Greet or
chat with the audience before
hand. It’s easier to speak to
friends than to strangers
Know your material-Increased
nervousness is due to un-
preparedness
Control the “Butterflies”

Relaxation- relax entire body by


stretching and breathing so as
to ease the tension
Visualize giving your speech-
Visualize yourself giving your
speech from start to finish. By
visualizing yourself successful,
you will be successful
Control the “Butterflies”

People want you to succeed-the


audience is there to see you
succeed not to fail
Don’t apologize-by mentioning
your nervousness or apologizing,
you’ll only be calling the
audience’s attention to mistakes
Control the “Butterflies”

Gain experience-experience
builds confidence, which is key
to effective public speaking
Practice takes you from this..
To this….
