Orman) Thinking that public speaking is inherently stressful (it’s not) Thinking you need to be brilliant or perfect to succeed (you don’t) Trying to impart too much information or cover too many points in a short presentation. Having the wrong purpose in mind (to get rather than to give/contribute) Trying to please everyone (this is unrealistic) Trying to emulate other speakers (very difficult) rather than simply being yourself (very easy).

Being fearful of potential negative outcomes (they almost never occur and even when they do, you can use them to your advantage). Trying to control the wrong things (e.g. the behavior of your audience) Spending too much time overpreparing (instead of developing confidence and trust in your natural ability to succeed). Thinking your audience will be as critical of your performance as you might be. Conquering Public Speaking Fear (by Dr. Morton C. Orman)
