Hi Akashh, let us appreciate the useful suggestions posted by our CiteHR friends. In my view, the root cause for your fear is low self-esteem, probabaly something to do with your upbringing, whatever.

Tell yourself again and again, that you are great and cabale of achieving great things. Relive your past successes and every time you do a good thing, however small it may be, pat your back.

Also have belief in you, that you can achieve any thing you want to. When you do a work, if it goes well successfully, good. If doesn't, don't take it as a failure; you have gained experience!Remember failures are stepping stones to success.

You be the best friend of yourself, appreciating good work done by you. But NOT PUNISHING you for not doing a successful work. In a nutshell, have the POSITIVE ATTITUDE to life. Not only you can overcome fear in public speaking, but also in talking to others or in a group. you will always be cheerful and confident.

Once you taste successes, without your knowledge, your self-esteem improves by leaps and bounds. Enjoy that.

It does take lot of effort and time from your side for that. YOU CAN DO THAT.

Iif you need a good e-book, for self-development mail me to : .

All the best!

hi Akash,
Acc. to me ,the best method of overcoming fear is assuming that i am the best speaker amongst all sitting there.I am the only person who can make them understand the concerned topic. And this really works.......

Dear Akash,
90% of people will have to face this problem of yours at a certain stage of time.
even i had faced this kind of problems in my in my earlier daysi used to feel nervous &just as i see a lot of people eagerly waiting for me to speak
,I would feel my heart beating fast,my mind becomes blank etc...................
BUT,
now i have developed an attitude of fearlessness&have the courage to speak to any one at any time.........
i just practiced speaking standing in front of my family&friends imagining them for a crowd,STARTED talking to myself.etc
try to follow my suggestions
WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK

hi aakash,
well to cope up with this keeping talking to yourself in your mind. Anal;yse wors frame sentences, imaginea situatio n speak to ypuself as if you are addressing a group of people.
it happened to me also but now im over it. Also whenever you start a presentatio or addressal take a deep breath and tell urself this is what u always wanted to do and you will not spoil it by any means. I CAN DO IT.
It does help trust me.
All the best

Dear Aakash,
Whether you like it or not, there is no other method and shortcut to overcome the fear of any kind....assuming; that you need a solution on 'fear' or say on 'shy'ness and NOT on the skills required.
Any skills will never help you if you have fear or say shyness. What do you think? Those, who do not speak (especially in groups or in a group of people), do not possess skills? They do! Differentiator is a fear factor and nothing else.
If you realise and admit that this is the factor (fear factor) working as a barrier or working as a hurdle for being a fearless speaker, against you, probably I can give you the solution, sorry! I mean to say can show you the solution, where the key is!
Probe further!
Probe; what exactly the problem is, fear or a Skill shortage? Otherwise root cause will be different and you will treat yourself for different. On the contrary, at the end of the day, you will find yourself standing at the same place, from where you started, resulting in declining ratio of confidence. Be aware of it.
Take care

Hi Akash,
I dont know you personally so I cant say that You dont have self confidence.
I am assuming that you are thinking a lot about your self and what others will say when you are speaking in public.
Just dont think of the people sitting in front of you. Concentrate on yourself. Give some time to your self to think. Speak slowly so that you can think and talk. Taking a bit longer or pausing in between sentences are very handy tool to think and speak.
To built confidence, i will say "SAB SE BADA ROG, KYA KAHENGE MERE BARE MAIN LOG"
If you learn this, i am sure you can give speeches better than Speaker of Parliament.
All the best

There is a association called 'Toast Masters', which is a group of people from different working areas, who meet periodically.Basically this was started in US and is spread across in many countries. You may become member there. You will be able to remove stage fear ( I had the stage fear and was finding reasons to avoid going on stages. Now I can comfortably talk to group of 100 people)
