 Ten Successful Tips
Control the “Butterflies”

● 1.Know the room- become familiar

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

● 4.Relaxation- relax entire body by

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

● 6.People want you to succeed-the

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

● 8.Concentrate on your message-not

the medium. Focus on the message
you are trying to convey and not on
your anxieties
● 9.Turn nervousness into positive
energy-nervousness increases
adrenaline, transform it into vitality
and enthusiasm
 Control the “Butterflies”

● 10.Gain experience-experience
builds confidence, which is key to
effective public speaking
