Top Seven Presentation Tips to Conquer the Fear Factor

To increase sales many times demands the giving of an effective presentation. Whether this presentation is to a group of C-level executives or speech to an organization, there is many times a fear factor.

Public speaking is not something everyone enjoys. This lack of enthusiasm not only affects the quality of the presentation, but also potentially encourages what I call the fear factor to increase.

Years ago, someone constructed an acronym out of the word fear.

• F = False
• E = Evidence or Experience
• A = Appearing
• R = Real

Fear begins in your mind and you must use your mind to conquer fear especially if you wish to increase sales for your business. These 7 quick tips may help you or may just gently remind you what you need to do to overcome the fear factor.

1. Prepare for the presentation: Make sure that you are prepared for the presentation. This includes practicing your presentation as well as having a checklist for the day of the presentation.
2. Relax, be at ease: Being up tight (your body language) can be easily read by your audience. These people, for the most part, are not out to hurt you and are probably more understanding than you realize. Make sure you have water to clear your throat or a piece of hard candy.
3. Take deep breaths to slow down your speaking pace: Breathing deeply and slowly will help you to not only slow down your speaking pace, but will also help with the strength of your voice.
4. Arrive early: Arriving late will only increase the fear factor. Give yourself at least 15 minutes besides the time necessary to set up your equipment from projectors to flip charts.
5. Check equipment: Technology does go south. Make sure everything is working including cables to paper on flip chart. I have witnessed simple flip charts collapse because they were set up in a hurry and not tightened.
6. Take time to adapt to environment: Going from a cold environment to a warm one or vice versa can affect your overall body temperature and most importantly your voice. You need time to adapt to the temperatures of the room.
7. Have backup plan: In case technology fails, have a backup plan from overheads to handouts because this may be your only time to speak to this group of individuals.

Yes, you can conquer the fear factor when giving presentations. And remember the most presentations you give, the better you will become and the closer you will get to where you want to go.
