Public speaking and self confidence

One of the links between the ability to handle public speaking is the self confidence someone has in general. The more confident you are generally in life, the easier you find public speaking. Public speaking and self confidence are linked. This means that you can improve your ability to speak in public if you improve your general self confidence. That means doing a range of things that help confidence levels. One of these is ensuring you socialise with people who are positive in their outlook and also confident. We tend to match our confidence to the level of those around us. So look at your network of friends and work colleagues and make sure you spend most of your time with confident people. Equally, you should be sure to deal with any issues that dent your self confidence. For instance, some people who are overweight lack confidence because of poor body image issues. Getting to your ideal weight will help you raise your self confidence. Furthermore, your self confidence will be boosted if you keep a journal of all the good things that happen to you. Write them down, keep copies of letters or emails of praise and review them every week. That will certainly boost your confidence. There are several ways you can gain self confidence and that in turn will help you in public speaking.
