First: nervousness, unable to bear the silence.
When I go on stage or speak in public, I often feel nervous. I speak very fast, and I'm afraid of any pauses. If the scene suddenly falls silent, I feel very panicked and can't find the right topic to fill this awkward moment. This kind of performance gives people a sense of small family.
Second: the mind is not agile enough.
I often feel like my mind is in a state of confusion and I can't answer or react quickly. In communication, I often don't have much to talk about, and I lack my own opinions and reflections. I tend to rely on other people's opinions and suggestions instead of thinking about things on my own initiative. This kind of behavior makes me seem to be less agile in thinking.
Third: insufficient knowledge reserves.
When communicating with others, I often feel that I can't answer or insert a topic smoothly. I lack my own opinions and opinions, so sometimes even if I have an idea, I can only barely say a sentence or two and then can't continue. I realized that my knowledge was very limited and my knowledge of various topics was limited.
Fourth: Failure to get to the point.
I often feel that I lack the ability to express myself and do not know how to express my thoughts clearly. In communication, I often jump to different topics, which leads to more and more confusion and less confidence the more I talk. I had a hard time getting to the point and communicating my thoughts clearly. This performance left me feeling confused and powerless.
How can I practice when my brain is out of stock and my stomach is out of ink?
1.Repetition exercises.
By retelling the articles or news we have just read in our own words, we can improve our mouth-brain coordination and off-script expression skills. When we are able to speak a short piece of content fluently, our language will also become more fluent.
2.Listen and speak exercises.
After listening to an audio, go straight to the retelling. This process tests our ability to focus, and after a month of practice, we will find that we are able to accurately grasp the main points of what others are saying, and our reaction speed will also be faster.
3.Structured thinking exercises.
Many people feel that they have no topic to talk about, they don't know how to start with **, and they think that they are stupid or have insufficient knowledge. In fact, this is due to the lack of a framework for mobilizing language. It is recommended to read "The Pyramid Structure" and then practice it each day using a hot topic. Over time, your language will become organized and logical.
4.Confident expression exercises.
Many times, it's not that we can't speak, it's that we don't dare to speak. It is easy to fall into a panic, resulting in a blank brain. You can do some breakthrough training, such as through storytelling, outdoor challenges, and taking the initiative to speak at meetings or dinners to train yourself.
