不要讓非理性的恐懼破壞你的公眾演講

很多人對在一群人面前說話會感到焦慮，但要記住，有些恐懼是真實的，而另一些則不然。（擔心掌握不好演講時間；不應該被聽眾噓聲）。

為了關注現實問題，在一張紙上畫三欄。在第一欄列出你的恐懼。第二，寫下最恐懼會發生的事情。在第三欄中，寫下可能發生的最棒的事。

例如，你可能害怕在演講時絆倒在演講台上。最壞的情况可能是有人拍攝它，把它貼到YouTube上，做病毒傳播。但最好的事情可能是它提醒你的同事，每個人都是人，然後更多的人會因為你多出現的狀況而注意到你的工作。

使用這個工具確保你在面對的是現實的恐懼。

Don’t Let Irrational Fears Derail Your Public Speaking

Many people feel anxious about speaking in front of a group, but remember that some fears are real and others aren’t. (Running out of time should worry you; being booed by your audience should not.)

To focus on the realistic concerns, draw three columns on a piece of paper. List your fears in the first column. In the second, write the worst thing that could happen if those fears come true. And in the third column, note the best thing that could happen.

For example, you might be afraid of tripping onstage while you talk. The worst-case scenario might be that someone films it, posts it to YouTube, and it goes viral. But the best thing might be that it reminds your colleagues that everyone is human, and then more people discover your work because of the extra buzz.

Use this tool to make sure you’re being realistic about your fears.
