Terry Neason - Nerves? Stress? Fight or Flight in Presentations BRING IT ON!
We need a little Nerves and Stress in life and business...BRING IT ON!
The next time someone makes the promise to eradicate your nerves, for when you are delivering a Speech or Presentation, think again!...We thrive on short bursts of stress and our mind and body benefits from the hormones which are released. It's even said to be good for the immune system.
A little Stress now and again does you good...so learn to control it...here's what I do when I'm nervous before I go on stage...
Controlled Breathing: Sitting or standing; make sure you keep your shoulders down and your arms relaxed by your side; Inhale through the nose over 3 seconds, then hold for 3 seconds and then exhale slowly through the mouth/ repeat 5 times then breath normally.
This oxygenates the blood and keeps you alert , yet calm. ahhhhhhh!
General info available online:
The human body responds to stressors by activating the nervous system and specific hormones. The hypothalamus signals the adrenal glands to produce more of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol and release them into the bloodstream. These hormones speed up heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. Blood vessels open wider to let more blood flow to large muscle groups, putting our muscles on alert. Pupils dilate to improve vision. The liver releases some of its stored glucose to increase the body's energy. And sweat is produced to cool the body. All of these physical changes prepare a person to react quickly and effectively to handle the pressure of the moment.

Star Quality Public Speaking & Presentation...Top 10 Tips
Star Quality...Top Ten Tips
Stop the crowd turning ugly
1. Always remember…Preparation is the key.
2.
Refrain from drinking caffeine related liquid, as this only speeds up the nervous process and can cause the mind to race, as well as the heart.
3. Refrain from consuming dairy produce as this affects the mucous glands, and can cause you to constantly clear your throat.
4. Drink plenty of water and always have plenty on stand by.
5. Go somewhere private and warm up your voice and facial muscles.
6. Breathe deeply, evenly, and slowly for several minutes, as this not only oxygenates the blood, to keep you alert, but also helps you keep calm.
7. Go to a mirror and check out how you look, as you only have 5 seconds to make a first impression and only 90 to blow their socks off.
8. Make a positive entrance with good upright posture, as that shows confidence.
9. Make good eye contact.
10. Make them laugh, cry and sigh…and you will make them listen!
