People Practice  << Go Back

The best way to rehearse your presentation is in front of people. Any people.  Half of the reason we’re all so anxious about speaking in public is --- the public. We worry about how our comments will be received, and if we look goofy saying them. So, while rehearsing in front of a mirror can help a bit, the best practice is in front of real people;  colleagues, spouses, children, strangers on the subway. This will help you enormously and you’ll quickly see just by their expressions what works and what doesn’t work. You’ll feel more confident, as a result.
