“I’m fine in normal conversation, but as soon as all eyes are on me, I just lose my confidence, and my words”
If I had a dollar for every time a podcast listener said this to me!
When we’re in a pressure situation - we need to win the pitch, present a dissenting opinion - when the stakes are high, it can be difficult to stay cool and calm, let alone speak clearly and confidently.
In this episode of Speaking with Confidence I share my top tips for speaking clearly, and confidently under pressure.
Listen in to hear:
The mistake we tend to make in pressure situations, and the easy fix
What you need to prioritise, message wise, when you’re feeling the heat
How to take the pressure down (hello John Farnham!) in those situations
Some simple tricks to manage your mindset when you’re feeling the pressure
What to focus on in the conversation so you can be articulate, confident and impact
Other Speaking with Confidence episodes mentioned:
How To Pitch With Impact, ep 52
The Long Game of Influence and the Importance of Micro Conversations, ep 65
Speaking of pressure ;-)
