Mastering public speaking is effortless with this five minute exercise

If I said you could be mastering public speaking and improve your public speaking confidence with a 5-minute exercise, would you suspect me?

I do not suppose you would because I know how frightening public speaking can be.

I’ve been there on the sidelines waiting to go onto the stage, sweating, dry mouth and twitchy as hell!

Then a few years ago, I attended a course run by Dr Richard Bandler ( co-creator of Nuro-Linguestic Programming NLP as it is well known ). It was a self-discovery course with just a few of us attending so we got real hands-on attention from Richard. Amongst the countless lessons from the course, I remember one of the delegates asserting to Richard I’m just not an assured person. Richard said in return Are you sure? Do you know what the person said? Of course I bloody well am. They certainly didn’t lack confidence!

Richard went on to explain that everyone seems to be confident it is just they’re confident about the wrong things. This delegate was super-confident about their idea that they have no confidence.

How would you feel if you might turn yourself into the most confident person you could be, if you required to?

Imagine going onto stage to present feeling just as confident when you were promoted or simply finished a ten mile run or asked somebody out on a date and they exclaimed ‘yes’. Well you can and all it takes is practice.

This looks like an exercise from Dr Richard Bandler, which all super successful individuals use. Know ituse itand you could be like them.
