3. 1. GO FOR A WALK
Fresh air does everyone a load
of good. If you have a phone
interview, take yourself for a
stroll around the block (or, if
you’re feeling ambitious, a run
to release all those healthy
endorphins). If it’s in person,
take five minutes before you
enter the building to walk
around and clear your head.

4. 2. PRACTICE THE S.T.O.P METHOD
According to executive coach Chris Charyk, this is the ultimate
mental trick to tackle any stressful situation. It goes like this:
Stop what you’re doing and focus on your thoughts.
Take a few deep breaths.
Observe what’s going on in your body, emotions, and mind, and
why you’re feeling them.
Proceed with an intention to incorporate what you observed in your
actions.
The importance of this technique is to slow down and be deliberate
not just in the things you do, but the feelings you let take over. It
reminds you that you have the power to banish your own fears,
doubts, and nerves in even the most pressure-cooker situations.

5. 3. PREPARE FOR THE WORST
Whatever your biggest fear is, there’s always an answer for it.
Lettuce in your teeth? Pack a compact mirror and floss in your bag
(among these other essentials you should always bring to an
interview). Worried about not having a good response to a tricky
question? Be proactive and learn how to cover your tracks when you
don’t know an answer. By thinking ahead, you can truly rest assured
knowing that even if the worst happens, you’re more than ready to
handle it.

6. 4. MAKE A INTERVIEW CHEAT SHEET
Just as important as preparing
for the worst is preparing,
period. The more you have set
to go, the less you have to worry
about. So, start a note on your
phone and jot down all the
necessities—the building
address, the hiring manager’s
name, the time, the three main
things you’d like to get across in
the interview, your questions,
whatever else you can think of.
Then, pull that baby out right
before you get called in and
you’ll feel so confident you’ve
got it all covered.

7. 5. PLAN SOMETHING FOR
AFTERWARDS
So maybe you’re not looking
forward to nervous-sweating
for two hours in front of a
complete stranger, but what’s
something you’d be excited to
power through this for? A nice
meal? A massage? A date with
your dog and your favourite
Netflix show? Whatever it is,
prepare for it to be ready for
you when you’re done—this
way, you have something
awesome to look forward to
and focus on, instead of your
jitters.

8. 6. EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST OR(LUNCH)
A great interview starts with a great
meal. For some, this means going
the healthy route, something full of
those energy-boosting antioxidants.
For others, it could be indulging in
your favorite comfort foods. There’s
no right answer—just make it right
for you (and make it food—no one
can give solid interview answers
when their stomach’s grumbling).

9. 7.GIVE YOURSELF A PEP TALK
It’s not crazy to talk to yourself—
it’s smart (and scientifically
proven to help motivate yourself).
Tell yourself all the things you
need to hear: you’re smart, you’re
qualified for this role, you’re
going to kill it. Say it out loud
(that makes it really stick) and say
it with confidence. Just make sure
you find a quiet place to do it.

10. 8. CALL AN (UPLIFITING) FRIEND
Nothing’s better than the
encouragement of a caring,
positive friend or family
member. Many times I’ve dialed
my mother before a big,
stressful event, and it makes all
the difference (and I’m not
ashamed I’m still doing it at as
an adult). Basically, if you can’t
give yourself the pep talk you
need, let someone else do it for
you.

11. 9. LISTEN TO MUSIC
Or, whatever else pumps you up (a podcast, a speech by your idol).
This way, you can fill your head with energy and excitement, rather
than negative thoughts.

12. 10. SMILE
It’s no secret smiling makes you feel more confident, even if you
fake it, so what’s the harm in trying it?
I know the answer: none. And even better, if you hold it long
enough, you’ll make the hiring manager like you more

13. 11. USE YOUR STRESS US ADRENALINE
Nervousness and adrenaline are highly correlated—that’s why studies show
that getting pumped up instead of calmed down (saying “I’m excited”
instead of “I’m calm”) before public speaking produces better results.
So if you’re shaking and your blood’s rushing—good. Go with it. As Muse
writer and consultant Mark Slack says, “By reframing your nervous energy
as excited energy, you can still feel amped up—just in a way that helps you
perform better instead of a way that hinders you.”

14. 12. REMEMBER IT’S JUST A CONVERSION
Finally, remind yourself that you’re not jumping out of an airplane,
or battling a shark. You’re facing one, maybe two people, and
having a nice conversation about your career. Muse writer Richard
Moy, in his article “How to Keep Your Cool When You Interview
With Your Dream Company,”? put it perfectly: “As much as you
want to work for
them, they’re also really hoping you’re the one.”
So, not all the pressure’s on you. Remember that this isn’t just
going to be them grilling you—you have questions you need
answered, and they’re probably nervous about making a good
impression, too.

17. 1.MEANING
Fear of public speaking is a common form of anxiety. It can range
from slight nervousness to paralyzing fear and panic. Many people
with this fear avoid public speaking situations altogether, or they suffer
through them with shaking hands and a quavering voice. But with
preparation and persistence, you can overcome your fear.

18. 2. KNOW YOUR TOPIC
Know your topic. The better you
understand what you're talking
about — and the more you care
about the topic — the less likely
you'll make a mistake or get off
track. And if you do get lost,
you'll be able to recover quickly.
Take some time to consider what
questions the audience may ask
and have your responses ready.

19. 2. GET ORGANIZED
Get organized. Ahead of time, carefully plan out the information you
want to present, including any props, audio or visual aids. The more
organized you are, the less nervous you'll be. Use an outline on a
small card to stay on track. If possible, visit the place where you'll be
speaking and review available equipment before your presentation.

20. 3.PRACTICE, AND THEN PRACTICE
SOME MORE
Practice, and then practice
some more. Practice your
complete presentation
several times. Do it for
some people you're
comfortable with and ask
for feedback. It may also be
helpful to practice with a
few people with whom
you're less familiar.
Consider making a video of
your presentation so you
can watch it and see
opportunities for
improvement.

21. 4. CHALLENGE SPECIFIC WORRIES
Challenge specific worries. When you're afraid of something, you may
overestimate the likelihood of bad things happening. List your specific
worries. Then directly challenge them by identifying probable and
alternative outcomes and any objective evidence that supports each worry
or the likelihood that your feared outcomes will happen.

22. 5. VISUALIZE YOUR SUCCESS
Visualize your success.
Imagine that your
presentation will go well.
Positive thoughts can help
decrease some of your
negativity about your social
performance and relieve
some anxiety.

23. 6. DO SOME DEEP BREATHING
Do some deep breathing. This can be very calming. Take two or more
deep, slow breaths before you get up to the podium and during your
speech.

24. 7. FOCUS ON YOUR MATERIAL, NOT ON
YOUR AUDIENCE
Focus on your material, not on your audience. People mainly pay
attention to new information — not how it's presented. They may not notice
your nervousness. If audience members do notice that you're nervous, they
may root for you and want your presentation to be a success.

25. 8. DON’T FEAR A MOMENT OF
SILENCE
Don't fear a moment of silence. If you
lose track of what you're saying or start
to feel nervous and your mind goes
blank, it may seem like you've been
silent for an eternity. In reality, it's
probably only a few seconds. Even if it's
longer, it's likely your audience won't
mind a pause to consider what you've
been saying. Just take a few slow, deep
breaths.

26. 9. RECONGIZE YOUR SUCCESS
Recognize your success. After your
speech or presentation, give yourself a
pat on the back. It may not have been
perfect, but chances are you're far more
critical of yourself than your audience
is. See if any of your specific worries
actually occurred. Everyone makes
mistakes. Look at any mistakes you
made as an opportunity to improve your
skills.

27. 10. GET SUPPORT
Get support. Join a group that offers support for people who
have difficulty with public speaking. One effective resource is
Toastmasters, a nonprofit organization with local chapters that
focuses on training people in speaking and leadership skills.

28. 11. CONCLUSION
If you can't overcome your fear with practice alone, consider seeking
professional help. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a skills-based approach
that can be a successful treatment for reducing fear of public speaking.
As another option, your doctor may prescribe a calming medication that
you take before public speaking. If your doctor prescribes a medication, try
it before your speaking engagement to see how it affects you.
Nervousness or anxiety in certain situations is normal, and public speaking
is no exception. Known as performance anxiety, other examples include
stage fright, test anxiety and writer's block. But people with severe
performance anxiety that includes significant anxiety in other social
situations may have social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia).
Social anxiety disorder may require cognitive behavioral therapy,
medications or a combination of the two
