[@annashakirova4532]

What a great lesson! Thank you, AnneMarie! I did a training last year on facilitating workshops where we did an exercise: at the end of day one, we made a presentation to our group, and we got feedback. Later we repeated the presentation on day 3. One thing that surprised me was that everyone slowed down when they were presenting, and the message was much clearer. When I rush to speak, it is my signal that I’m not confident in my message :)

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

You're welcome, Anna! I'm glad you noticed that slowing down made the presentations clear. This strategy is key to clear communication.

[@writermadevan5001]

Best ever strategies i have come through

[@lincolnodeya4748]

One of my key sources of confidence when speaking publicly has been to not care about my audience. Particularly as I have continued to grow in age; when you get older you stop caring about some things, including people's opinions and what they think. When younger, you put many people on a pedestal, and so when standing before people you are often conscious of what people are thinking about you and you try hard to prove a point, only ending up anxious and making even more mistakes. When you stop caring, you become yourself, are more comfortable in your skin, and you do your thing.

​@@Speakconfidentenglish. Thank you so much for your tips, I have difficulties speaking English. I mean pronouncing words, but when it comes to writing I speak fluently. I learnt English through reading, as I'm a passionate reader. But I have a problem, when I have written conversations, the words flew easily, and I answers instantly. Yet, when it comes to speaking, the words eludes me and I start searching for words to describe what I intend to say. Is it normal? Have you met someone who have the same problem as me?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the question. It is not uncommon to feel more comfortable in writing. Not only do you have time to think in advance but you there is also less fear of judgement. If you haven't yet, I recommend following my How to Say What You Want in English training, which will share a technique for getting meaningful speaking practice that improves fluency and confidence. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
