speaking is…
…worse
than
death?

of
people
are
anxious
8. Tips for Introverts (and maybe the rest of us!)
• You
can
either
spend
your
life
running
from
it,
or
face
it
head
on
• Have
a
script,
but
don’t
write
it
down
• The
sharing
mindset
• Be
careful
with
Powerpoint/Keynote
• Get
the
worst
one
out
of
the
way
• The
only
cure
for
insecurity
is
experience
9. 1.

a

an
outline
or
mind
map
• Organize
it
like

11. Addressing anxiety
• Let
go
of
perfect
• View
mistakes
dispassionately
• You
can’t
make
everyone
happy
• Mistakes
are
learning
opportunities
• Visualize
desired
outcome
• Avoid
negative
anticipation
• Use
humor,
relaxation,
singing,
walking,
etc.
• “Begin
with
the
end
in
mind…”
• Prepare
positively
• Speak
about
something
you
love
• Remember
that
you
know
more
12. More anxiety
management
• Get
some
rest
and
avoid
complexities
• Avoid
mood-‐altering
substances
&
eat
lightly
• Remember
to
breathe
• Focus
on
friendly
faces
• It
won’t
kill
you…and
it
might
make
you
stronger!
• The
more
you
do
it,
the
less
anxious
you
become
