I also try to lower my shoulders and my eyebrows.
This helps to boost me up - as it is more interesting to listen to a person with higher energy level. This helps to make me feel the same way as the Wonder Women does - as of I can to do wonders too. I take high power pose for a short while, says two minutes. This serves as a safety cushion to for me fall back on: in case I forget my lines, I can always refer to my notes. I drink a lot water but not too much right before the event. For example: I avoid extra spicy food to reduce the risk of getting my stomach upset. I try sticking to my routine and do everything in the usual way. Lastly, I make use of text-to-speech technology to convert my written speech into audio, listen to it, analyse it and try to refine it.īecause of the nerves, the venue and many other factors – I may probably perspires much more or feel colder than usual, so, I dress appropriately and bring along a matching jacket/blazer. One of these days, when this room was not in use, I tiptoe-ed in, stood at where I am standing now, tried filling the room with my own voice to gauge how loud I need to speak. To make the experience closer to the real one, I visited the scene. With that, I do mental practice by imagining myself giving the speech in a relaxed and confident way in front of the audience. This works best for me and make me feel that I am well-prepared. Some people prepare bullet points or keywords, while I write out my speech word-for-word. To prepare for that, I have researched on the internet and talked to people who are good in public speaking for tips, experimented with the tips and now sharing with you those that are proven working - at least for me. What "Veni, Vidi, Vici" meant to me is that: I come to this club I see the audience before me and myself before the audience I have to bring up the courage to conquer my stage-fright and deliver the speech. Now, this is a confession: I am always nervous prior to and during an appearance before an audience. It is about me, my version of the story about "Veni, Vidi, Vici". Anyway, just to be sure, I have had the Sergeant-at-Arms to lock the door, so no one - including myself - can leave this room. It is difficult to so do now since we are already half way through the event. Let me assure you that I am not turning this meeting into a history lesson and definitely not Latin language lesson, so you don't have to leave this room.
It was believed that this phrase was originated from a letter that Julius Caesar wrote to the Roman Senate after achieving victory in a short war. "Veni, vidi, vici": a Latin phrase which means "I came I saw I conquered".
