Speaking Up Without Freaking Out | Matt Abrahams | TEDxPaloAlto

thank you

I thought you’re going to say something more tha just take a deep breath

Says a man who has an amazing presence, timbre in his voice and the ability to keep his thoughts in order. He must've had wonderful parents and close to no childhood trauma. People who never read books, have been bullied and had inappropriate parenting will have an incredibly hard time trusting themselves so they can speak well. Everyone is different and if I can speak for myself, I am not prepared to take on such an insane journey.

The clarity and simplicity could make a willing reflections by any listener for maturing future actions .

Next week I'm starting my first job as an english teacher & I'm freaking out.

This is very helpful. Thanks a lot.

Wow one of finest speech and clearly explained..

What - So what - Now What

Yes that is true. I have realised that I am a nice man but don't have the skill to communicate in a public or in a meeting . I told myself enough is enough and dedicating myself to a course completely. I will dedicate this year to improve my speaking skill. And I will do it.

When I was 12....I gave a speech in my class and everybody laughed...Now whenever I am speaking and look around to see if anybody is laughing .Even a slight smile gives me anxiety attacks

Thank you

boi was traumatized to the point of dedication

I will Forever be grateful. Thx a lot.

I can use this in my presentation skills, every tip is useful

Thank you!

oh i just did one. I couldnt sleep week before speech, i couldnt eat. And i just practiced. Recorded on video, said it over and over in front of a mirror. And when i was standing in front of 100 ppl i just started talking, because this is what I had to do. I just spoke, didnt look at the notes, messed up a bit cos still i was very nervous. Stopped. Concentrated, picked it up. Had few jokes. Looked at peoples eyes. And it was weird as if i watched myself from the side. It wasnt me at all. And people loved it. Somebody said: ive never heard you talking for so long :))) It was great experience! Just prepare and do it :)

Honestly did these tips ever help anyone?

Thank you, really:) ;

Privileged!

Oh my. He's definitely the perfect speaker for this topic. He is so eloquent and calm.

Very intuitive but what magnifies this is beyond our control.

Thanks it's much appreciated

I had run out of a meeting while giving a presentation. I blanked out, perspired profusely and embarrassed in front of a large group of people. So I handed over to one of my colleagues and ran out of the room.

Just faced it there's no other option my dearest friend 👍

This topic is near and dear to my heart. Well done, sir!

If you fear don't do it. If you are doing don't fear. -Genghis Khan

Amazing Speech!

A very disappointing content. This is why some people struggle to overcome the fear.
If you go into the wrong path, you will hardly solve the problem.

And the other 15% are lying :)

He is speaking up so that I can fully understand him without captions. I appreciate it a lot.

Absolutely loved this! Would appreciate more videos in this format...really liked the section on conversation jumping..please do more of these..learned a lot and would like to learn more..Thank you!

same mannerisms and looks a bit like Steve Martin?? IMO

Palo Alto .... where is this in Palo Alto?

Amazing presentation. I've been suffering from anxiety since I was a kid. I'm going to try all you mentioned.

Thank you

English wasn't my first language so when this english teacher who required us to speak english and was strict and angry, I was always anxious talking to her, dven though I was the one in the classroom who could speak to her straight.

This is the most motivating speech ..so useful to me ..Thank you sir ..

I have anti-social anxiety. If I want to manage my own anxiety, I must let it in. Let it be part of who I am so I can become brave and talk to people calmly. To express myself to others in a social situation. I will do this to be straightforward.

Taking a giant leap to building bold , confident and compelling conversations

Anyone here for speaking practice

He doesn’t have shaking voice at all and that’s a great thing, also he was so humorous when he is talking about the pants part : )

So clear and soft

Where is the solution ?
