Most people get nervous before they give a speech and often find themselves thinking of all the worst things that can happen. Sometimes they get psyched out if they see a particular person in the audience due to lack of self-confidence. Speech mistakes may take you off-balance and give you trouble re-centering. Sometimes people have trouble raising their energy up for a performance…or bringing their energy down to a manageable level.
Others overly criticize themselves or expect failure. Some people are perfectionists and can’t relax when giving a speech. When going on a very important job interview or preparing for a big speech that may lead to a promotion, often, the stakes are very high. You are tense and nervous because you are concerned with the outcome or result, which of course, means a better quality of life, more money, and a more successful life. The subtle mental switch must be made from the feeling of needing to do well or you will fail miserably to the desire to want to have fun while delivering your speech.
