			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are about to learn a mind control technique so powerful that the ancients kept it hidden from the general population for fear that if it got into the wrong hands, disaster would occur. These subconscious mind power methods were kept so secretive that it was believed by many that they were somehow attached to the occult and the dark side. For thousands of year they were kept secret.</p>
<p>No more.</p>
<p>In the last century, bestsellers like &#8220;Think and Grow Rich,&#8221; and &#8220;The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind,&#8221; for the first time gave entrance to these ancient and life varying subconscious mind power secrets to the general man or woman on the boulevard. In this article you&#8217;ll be taught to operate them to achieve social success, however that means to you.</p>
<p>Love, friendship, community respect. It&#8217;s all yours for the enchanting. All you need to do is to tap your enormous and endless subconscious mind power.</p>
<p>Your subconscious mind is the manager of all. When you come into this existence, you are pre-planned with a few survival mechanisms and learning instincts, but that&#8217;s about it. As you develop and move through the world, you amass information and develop perspectives about how the world functions. If these beliefs are empowering and life affirming, then you are considered a &#8216;natural&#8217; and achievement is simple.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, for the huge preponderance, limiting perspectives are made, and serve as a blockade to achievement for many. As a replacement for of seeing opportunity, we see obstacles. Instead of seeing triumph, we see crash. Instead of seeing budding benefits, we see potential denial and embarrassment.</p>
<p>That changes today.</p>
<p>Humans are naturally social creatures. We are at home with others. Our inborn proclivity is to get along with others, share with others and make others chuckle and smile and feel good. That naturally compelling creature who enters the room and turns heads, they are living in their innate state.</p>
<p>Function of subconscious mind power.</p>
<p>Your subconscious mind will need to be retrained with some specially built affirmations, that will need to be used in a precise way to make best use of the power of your subconscious mind.</p>
<p>The first step is to create your affirmations. State them in the present, positive tense, as if they are already genuine. Say them as you are recounting your model social self. If you received one wish from a supernatural genie, how would you want to be? Describe that future you, in the present tense.</p>
<p>When repeating your affirmations, say them with as much emotion as possible. Gratitude, pleasure, love for yourself and who you are. Love for the potent feelings you produce in others.</p>
<p>The greatest time to utter your affirmations is when you are in that sleepy, drowsy state just near sleep. This is when your subconscious mind is open the most to suggestions, and will accept new programming the easiest. Spend five to ten minutes, two or three times a day, repeating your affirmations.</p>
<p>The top times are just when you wake up, and immediately as you fall asleep at night. If you can get into the custom of actually falling asleep while whispering your affirmations to yourself, that will turbo charge your results.</p>
<p>Keep this up for a few weeks, and observe the magic happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you search in Google for the term “public speaking tips” you get roughly 2.6 million responses. That seems like a lot, but when you have to be the one standing in front of the group there isn’t enough information in the world that could get you over that fear.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, most of those fears are self imposed. What do I mean? The people listening to you don’t really care how the information is disseminated, they just want at the information. It’s the speaker that puts themselves through the ringer weeks before the event. Here are some tips that may seem obvious, but once completed, will really put your mind at ease, trust me.</p>
<p><strong>Public Speaking Tip #1</strong></p>
<p>KNOW YOUR TOPIC! I don’t mean know your topic, I mean inside and out, upside down, what ever question someone could throw at you, you know the answer. You really need to be prepared to reach this level. You need to know your speech almost by heart; you need to know the products you will be discussing. Do your homework, you will know you have reached public speaking Nirvana when you get that “feeling”, it will come with knowledge. Believe!</p>
<p><strong>Public Speaking Tip #2</strong></p>
<p>Greet as many of the attendees prior to your speech as possible. Familiarity promotes confidence. Besides, think of the benefit you provide the topic you are to speak on when you take the time to meet people before you go on.<br />
This strategy also prevents you from pacing back and forth and worrying yourself to death until you go on. There is no point in cramming now, if you don’t know it, you wont, and it will show.</p>
<p><strong>Public Speaking Tip #3</strong></p>
<p>DON’T think everyone in the audience is naked, this in fact will hurt your chances of a successful public speaking outing.</p>
<p><strong>Public Speaking Tip # 4</strong></p>
<p>When you find yourself with only a mouthful of uhs and ums, stop yourself, repeat the sentence as if to add importance, and replace the uhs and ums with silence to allow your points to hit home.</p>
<p><strong>Public Speaking Tip # 5 </strong></p>
<p>Animate your speech. Most people think that good communication is mouth-centric. Nothing could be farther from the truth! To be a powerful communicator, you have to use your entire body. Gestures and body language add energy and enthusiasm to your speech.<br />
These are tips can really help you take your next step in public speaking. Do you realize that people pass up promotions because they will be required to speak publicly?</p>
<p>Do you realize people fear speaking in public more than they fear dying? Maybe because dying is abstract and appears far away while the podium is right in front of them. Either way, you really can come to grips with your fear and maybe you won’t enjoy it, but you’ll be able to get through it easier.  I can’t emphasize enough that half of your battle will be just knowing what you are going to say, and anticipating what others are going to ask. It can be easy!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This article reveals 10 simple steps to minimize the fear of Public Speaking. Find out how to make it so much easier and do it a whole lot better]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Do you &#8220;feel the fear&#8221; when asked to do some Public Speaking? </strong></p>
<p>Public Speaking is still one of our greatest fears and it turns grown men and women into nervous wrecks. The mere thought of it turns our tongue to cotton wool, causes our internal plumbing to act up and turns our knees to jelly.</p>
<p>Well, there&#8217;s no need for all of this because help is at hand. All you need to remember are your P&#8217;s and Q&#8217;s. Let&#8217;s start with the P&#8217;s</p>
<p><strong>Preparation</strong></p>
<p>When you sit down to write what you&#8217;re going to say, bear in mind who you&#8217;ll be speaking to. Will they understand what you&#8217;re talking about; will they understand the technical stuff and the jargon? If in doubt remember the old saying &#8211; &#8220;Keep It Simple Stupid&#8221;.</p>
<p>Make sure that what you say has a beginning, middle and an end. Think of some anecdotes that help reinforce your story. People think visually so paint verbal pictures for your audience. And always remember, people want to know what&#8217;s in it for them &#8211; so make sure you tell them!</p>
<p><strong>Place<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Have a look at the venue before the event if you can. It&#8217;s not always possible, however, even if you get there half an hour before, you can check out where you&#8217;ll be speaking.</p>
<p>Stand at the point where you will deliver from, imagine where the audience will be and check that they can see and hear you. You may even wish to place a glass of water where you&#8217;ll be able to find it.</p>
<p><strong>Personal Preparation<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Before any Public Speaking event, think about what you are going to wear; when in doubt dress up rather than down. You can always take things off for a more casual look. Men could remove their jacket and their tie. Women could remove items of jewelery.</p>
<p>Part of your personal preparation should include some mouth and breathing exercises. Practice saying some tongue twisters to give your speaking muscles a good work out. Take a deep breath and expand your diaphragm. Then breathe out, counting at the same time; try and get up to fifty and not pass out.</p>
<p>As part of your personal preparation, write your own introduction. Write out exactly what you want someone to say about you, large font, double-spaced and ask the person introducing you to read it. Believe me they won&#8217;t object and will probably be pleased and impressed.</p>
<p><strong>Poise and Posture<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Whenever you&#8217;re called to speak, stand up or walk to the front quickly and purposefully. Pull yourself up to your full height, stand tall and look like you own the place. Before you start to speak, pause, look round your audience and smile. You may even have to wait until the applause dies down. Remember, you want the audience to like you, so look likable.</p>
<p><strong>Pretend<br />
</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m suggesting you pretend you&#8217;re not nervous because no doubt you will be. Nervousness is vital for speaking in public, it boosts your adrenaline, which makes your mind sharper and gives you energy.</p>
<p>The trick is to keep your nerves to yourself. On no account tell your audience your nervous; you&#8217;ll only scare the living daylights out of them if they think you&#8217;re going to faint.</p>
<p><em>Some tricks for dealing with nerves are: </em></p>
<p>Before you&#8217;re called to speak, get lots of oxygen into your system, run on the spot and wave your arms about like a lunatic. It burns off the stress chemicals.</p>
<p>Speak to members of your audience as they come in or at some time before you stand up. That tricks your brain into thinking you&#8217;re talking to some friends.</p>
<p>Have a glass of water handy for that dry mouth. One word of warning &#8211; do not drink alcohol. It might give you Dutch courage but your audience will end up thinking you&#8217;re speaking Dutch.</p>
<p><strong>The Presentation</strong></p>
<p>Right from the start your delivery needs to grab their attention.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t start by saying &#8211; &#8220;Good morning, my name is Fred Smith and I&#8217;m from Smith Associates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even if your name is Smith, it&#8217;s a real boring way to start a presentation.  Far better to start with some interesting facts or an anecdote that&#8217;s relevant to your presentation.</p>
<p>Look at the audience as individuals; it grabs their attention if they think you&#8217;re talking to them personally.</p>
<p>Talk louder than you would normally do, it keeps the people in the front row awake and makes sure those at the back get the message. Funnily enough, it&#8217;s also good for your nerves.</p>
<p><strong>PowerPoint</strong></p>
<p>And for those of you who haven&#8217;t heard of it, it&#8217;s a software program that&#8217;s used to design stunning graphics and text for projection onto a screen.</p>
<p>As a professional speaker, I&#8217;m not that struck on PowerPoint. I feel that too many speakers rely on it and it takes over the presentation.  After all, you&#8217;re the important factor here. If an audience is going to accept what you say then they need to see the whites of your eyes. There needs to be a big focus on you, not on the technology.</p>
<p>Use PowerPoint if you want but keep it to a minimum and make sure you&#8217;re not just the person pushing the buttons.  Why not get a bit clever at using the faithful old Flip Chart, lots of professionals do.</p>
<p><strong>Passion</strong></p>
<p>This is what stops the audience in their tracks. This is what makes them want to employ you or to accept what you&#8217;re proposing. Couple this with some energy, enthusiasm and emotion and you have the makings of a great public speaker.</p>
<p>Give your presentation a bit of oomph and don&#8217;t start telling me &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m not that kind of person.&#8221; There&#8217;s no need to go over the top but you&#8217;re doing a presentation to move people to action, not having a cozy little chat in your front room.</p>
<p><em>That&#8217;s the P&#8217;s finished, so let&#8217;s look at the Q&#8217;s.</em></p>
<p><strong>Questions<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Decide when you&#8217;re going to take them and tell people at the start.</p>
<p>In a short speech it&#8217;s best to take questions at the end. If you take them as you go then you may get waylaid and your timing will get knocked out.</p>
<p>Never &#8211; never &#8211; never finish with questions; far better to ask for questions five or ten minutes before the end. Deal with the questions and then summarize for a strong finish. Too many presentations finish on questions and the whole thing goes a bit flat.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re asked a question, repeat it to the whole audience and thank the questioner. It keeps everyone involved, it gives you time to think and it makes you look so clever and in control.</p>
<p><strong>Quit</strong></p>
<p>Quit when you&#8217;re ahead. Stick to the agreed time; if you&#8217;re asked to speak for twenty minutes, speak for nineteen and the audience will love you for it. Remember, quality is not quantity.</p>
<p>One of the most famous speeches ever &#8211; &#8220;The Gettysburg Address&#8221;, by President Lincoln, was just over two minutes long.</p>
<p>Right, that&#8217;s my cue to quit when I&#8217;m ahead. Now that you&#8217;re armed with this information you too can minimize your fear of Public Speaking.</p>
