Confidence in public speaking

2:20

I think apart from meeting new people – I always feel a bit nervous with that –

2:20

I'm generally quite confident.

2:23

So, if it comes to something like public speaking

2:27

where I have to talk in front of a lot of people,

2:31

if they're people I don't know, I don't really have a problem.

2:36

I'm quite confident.

2:38

But if I had to speak to a room of people and I know the people,

2:43

that would make me more nervous.

2:45

I don't know if that's weird.

2:48

Maybe. I think I'm probably the opposite.

2:51

Really?

2:52

If I talk to people I don't know,

2:55

I don't feel very confident unless I'm very well prepared.

2:58

I think, being prepared is a good way to boost your confidence.

3:04

Yeah. I remember watching a video,

3:07

about a lady saying, if you want to improve your confidence,

3:11

to boost your confidence, you should stand in a power stance

3:16

and think about all the good things that you're going to do,

3:20

and it will make you confident with your hands on your hips.

3:23

And she said, if you're going to do public speaking,

3:26

or something that's really... can be quite scary,
