you are not alone,  public speaking is one the biggest fears faced by people.  you must feel confident, make sure your dressed to the tee, you smell good, your hair is done right.... beleive me the way you look influneces the way you feel about yourself.\nsecond,,,,,prepare,,,,  know whatever your speaking about.knowledge is power. power boosts confidence. \nthird, practice in front of mirror. \nthis sounds funny but it works , this is a sales technique , if you look convincing , you'll sound convincing. \ndont look anyone directly into the eyes. look above them but change the general direction of your look so they feel you are talking to the whole crowd.\nand lastly....... relax.you know what your doing.youll bee all right.... it will be over soon.

You gain confidence by believing in your abilities.  By succeeding in things you do.  They don't have to be big things, little victories count too. What qualities do you possess that others admire? Make a list if you like.  \n\nIf you can see yourself succeeding, your confidence will grow. Put yourself in a position to succeed in whatever you do.  Good luck!

It sound like you have a fear of public speaking, even in small groups.  It is very common and nothing to be worried about.  If you would like to work on it, force yourself to start up conversations with strangers you come into contact with.  If you want to get real bold and see real improvement, check into taking a public speaking class or acting class.  Even if you feel like your embarressed all the time in those classes, they will give you the practice you need to overcome your fear.  Most public speakers will tell you that they have a little fear all the time even if they seem totally confident on the outside.

Try Confidence Club.com, the cds they sell may be useful, either that or try a confidence coach, maybe even some counselling.  I know exactly how you feel and I have tried all the "positive thinking" techniques but sometimes you do need a little help.

I'd suggest easing into it.  \n\nStart with part-time work to build your confidence, then full-time when you're assured of your abilities.

A tried and tested technique to improving self-confidence is as follows:\n\nLook in the mirror every morning and tel yourself you are beutiful, you are clever and you can achieve anything.\n\nLook in the mirror every night before bed and tell yourself that you have done your best today in everything you do and tomorrow you will do better.\n\nDo one thing each day that scares you.\n\nBe with friends that value you for who you are and remember you are a human being and as such you are special.\n\nYour family loves and values you and if you smile the world smiles with you.

I am assuming that you are new to this line of profession. You get nervous because you lack the self confidence in making presentations to Realtors, clients and business professionals. To develop self confidence you need to know your products and guide lines. Don't try to learn all of the programs (we have access to 1700 programs). Learn the ones you want to focus on and find your niche. Find 5 programs that you want to specialize in. Once you know your guidelines, you will be able to present with confidence and not make the mistakes that are typical. \n\nThat's my suggestion, e-mail me and let me know if you have any other questions.

I feel for you. My very first public speaking was in front of a 1000 people and my legs were like wobbling jelly.\n\nI just believe in three things when I do this. The first is I want to improve myself, the second is what I communicate is essential and the final is the more you do it the easier it gets.\n\nOne important thing to do is to write notes on your speech so that if you go blank then the notes can get you going. Always as your talk take a second or two to keep your notes up to where your speaking and take a small break as standing out front riffling through notes is not a good sight.\n\nWhen speaking to a large group, speak up and look at your audience. As you talk always move your eyesight around the people in the audience to make everyone feel part of your talk.\n\nFinally work out your talk/speech in advance and give it in front of a mirror to see your looking up and out and make the speech second nature.\n\nKeep going, it will get better and believe what I said in the first paragraph.

Build up self confidence by always believing in your self. Laugh at your self when you know you have made some stupid mistakes. Act a little more slowly in carrying out any activity. People will definitely see a different you. They may even rate you a genius. Good luck.

the #1 key to making a good speech is to believe in what you are saying %100. \n\neven if you dont neccessarily agree with the topic of the speech, speaking with conviction will make your speech more effective and boost your confidence while speaking.\n\ninstead of thinking about what people will think or how well you will do, just try to speak as if your only goal is to convince one person in the room that what you are saying is true. \n\nand dont just ramble off a bunch of facts. put things into context and give examples that will relate your subject matter in many different ways. \n\ngiving a good speech is a matter of interacting with your audience, not lecturing them.

practice and know what you are going to say. The more confidentand comfortable you are, the easier it is to speak in public. \n\nremember almost everybody - even the smoothest of speakers has some anxiety when talking in public - it is only natural.

Take a critical look at what makes you clam up. Is it speaking in front of other people? If so, try some public speaking clubs like Toastmasters. Is it that you think people are judging you and you're embarassed? Think about the things that you feel most induce your public panic attacks and deal with those issues. Without more information on why you get like that, I can only generalize, because there can be a lot of reasons for your public embarassment.

The best way to be confident about what you speak is knowledge and passion. Forget about planned speeches. Know the subject you're going to speak about, "do your homework" so to speak, and maybe make a few note cards. Find something about which you have to speak that you can feel passionate about. I used to be terribly shy as well, but after a while, it came into perspective: what does it matter how people think about your public speaking? Many of them are probably as nervous as you are. Just do it. Don't overthink it; you'll just make yourself panic.
