Overcome Public Speaking Anxiety

  • Visualization: Visualize how you are going to be in front of the room, how the audience is going to react to you positively, and how it is going to look when you conclude your talk. This will build your confidence and make you feel as though this is the second time you have given this talk making it easier and more effortless.
  • Breathing: Inhale and take 4 seconds to do it. At the top of your breath, wait for 4 seconds and now exhale and take 4 seconds to do so. Now, wait for another 4 seconds at the bottom of your breath. Rinse and repeat. This will lower your heart rate and calm you down.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
