Need Proof?
Look no further than Morpheus founder Luke Chao. If you met Luke ten years ago, you wouldn't recognize him today. In fact, he barely recognizes himself. He recalls having to give a class presentation in the tenth grade that turned into a disaster. His hands were actually shaking so badly that he was unable to read his cue-cards. Now, Luke is a confident, well-spoken presenter who enjoys speaking in front of an audience and even actively seeks opportunities to do so. A large crowd? Bigger is better, he says. What about a room of skeptics? A challenging group is even more fun! So, the question remains: how did Luke transform from a nervous wreck to the toast-master he is today?
The answer is simple: hypnosis, NLP, and other methods that his associates now practice at The Morpheus Clinic for Hypnosis.
But Luke isn't the only person who's benefited from hypnosis. Sarah (not her real name) was an educational curriculum consultant who hadn't presented in front of a group since the age of eleven. More than twenty years later, she found herself attending a mandatory workshop... where she knew she would have to speak in front of the group. Terrified at the prospect, she turned to hypnosis. After only two sessions at Morpheus, she attended the workshop. This is what she had to say:
The first day, Wednesday, I raised my hand to answer FOUR questions during the day. As you know, I have not done this since grade school. Today, I volunteered to share our group work results standing in front of the whole class of 25. I didn't feel any anxiety doing this... I want to thank you for your wonderful work. I'm so pleased with the transformation and will be sure to recommend your services to others.”
Where It All Began: Getting to the Root of Your Public Speaking Fears
We all arrive in this world naked, bloody, screaming... and totally fearless. In fact, the only two fears that humans are naturally born with is the fear of sudden noises and the fear of falling. All other fears we acquire, either through direct experience or by adopting the fears of those around us. As young children, the fear of public speaking is unheard of—most children crave being the centre of attention. And as you have probably noticed, children have no qualms about causing a scene in a crowded situation, such as during a church ceremony or on a busy subway car.
Most of us develop our fear of public speaking in elementary school during our first experiences of presenting to a group. And it is understandable why this could be a traumatic experience. Your teacher, who knows more about the subject you are speaking about than you do, is scrutinizing both the content of your presentation and your style. Your classmates are bored and probably uninterested in what you have to say and, if you make a mistake, they have no reservations about laughing at you. This experience becomes rooted in your brain and the way you think and feel about it becomes a template for how you react to public speaking in the future.
The Mindset You Need to Have to Become Fearless Speaking in Public
Despite your early imprints, public speaking today is not nearly as arduous as public speaking was in grade school. First, if you're asked to present by your superiors at work, it's because you are the most knowledgeable person on the subject. This means that you can be confident that what you have to say is relevant, important and will be well-received. If you are asked to speak for informal reasons, such as at a wedding, it is because those selecting you genuinely believe that you are best fit for the position. In either situation, you were chosen because people had faith that you would be not only an excellent candidate for the task, but the best candidate available.
Secondly, unlike grade school—where any slip-up would be a highly-anticipated source of amusement during what is surely a dreary school day—your peers do not want you to fail. They want you to deliver an engaging, thought-provoking presentation that is a pleasure to watch. They are on your side. And if you do make an error, they will remain understanding and free of judgement because they know how challenging it is to speak in front of a crowd. These are not the same critics as the ones in the fourth grade. These are your supportive peers who want you to see you succeed.
One method that will boost your presentation style is to know who in the room you are speaking to. Typically, there are three types of audience members. The first is the distracted person who is obviously not paying attention. Don't worry about this person; even if you do make a mistake, he probably won't notice. The second type is politely listening to what you have to say. The third is your fan. They are thoroughly engaged in what you have to say and you have captured their fully devoted attention. And this is the person that you should direct your attention to. You will automatically draw energy and confidence from their positive response and your presentation will immediately become more vibrant and enchanting. By following this method, you will soon find that the number of third-type people in your audience will rapidly increase.
How Hypnosis Can Transform You into the Public Speaker You Wish to Be
Imagine giving your presentation alone in your bedroom. Piece of cake, right? Now imagine giving it in front of a friend, or a couple of friends. A little more challenging, but you are still able to pull it off with aptitude and grace. Now, put yourself in front of a room of eight or more people, some of whom you are not very familiar with. Suddenly, it becomes an overwhelming struggle. Yet your presentation is the same.
Hypnosis focuses on making the connection between your presentation skills when demonstrated in front of your mirror and when in front of a crowd so that you will be able to give the same flawless speech in both circumstances.
Our minds are divided into two segments: the conscious and the subconscious. Both segments are responsible for observing and absorbing information and using it to create thoughts and beliefs. The differences between them are that a) our conscious mind operates on rational logic whereas our subconscious is governed by emotion and b) we are aware of our conscious thoughts but unaware of our subconscious ones. Our first negative experiences with public speaking sparked a thought in our subconscious that public speaking is something to be terrified of. As a result, no matter how hard we try to rationalize our fears, we are unable to become free of them.
Though a series of deep relaxation techniques, hypnosis allows a connection to be made between the conscious and the subconscious in order to reach and resolve the root of your public speaking fear. From there, powerful motivational suggestion eliminates this fear and replaces it with positive ideas that will help you become the eloquent public speaker you desire to be. It is important to note that hypnosis is not “mind control.” While you are very relaxed during the session, you remain absolutely aware of your surroundings and of everything that the hypnotherapist is saying. As a result, it is impossible for the hypnotherapist to “implant” ideas or to “make” you do anything you do not want to. Hypnosis is one hundred percent safe, as well as easy and highly effective.
