What did I learn and what was useful in the videos 2.1.,2.2. and Intro Jessica?

In the video 2.1., Janine reviews and demonstrates the steps used in visualization, relabeling, and relaxing and it is very important to know these three methods for managing speech anxiety. When we apply visualization to public speaking we need to be focus on what will go right, not what will go wrong and use all our senses to feel what will happen. I learned that I should facing the audience, making eye contact, smiling, and beginning the speech.

I agree that we have not use negative words and instead use positive words like thrilled and delighted. And I really liked these relaxation techniques which help reduce the physical symptoms of stress. In the video it’s very clear to see how to use relaxation techniques. But at the same time it’s hard to keep mind clean and just think about respiration, because it seems that I can forget everything.

         In the video 2.2. I we can implement all techniques to boost our confidence in the day we give our speech. Actually arriving early is giving to us plenty of time to research place where we will be delivering speech and to be more confident that this place you already know. Very often thinking about speech or perception of people we can be focused on ourselves but not on the main idea what you want to tell people.

         I listened to different speakers with the variety topics and I don’t like to hear any apologies or excuses, because if people do excuses that means they are not ready for the performance. The audience may respond negatively heightening your own nervousness.

         From Intro Jessica I realized once more time that we should not ever give up, take life with all her surprises and move on. I agree with Jessica that God sees and controls everything and He is in charge of everything, we need to trust Him and do our steps in our life with our mistakes and get more and more experience. If one door closes, another one opens and this really works in my life. In this video I saw her attitude to all this in her life, and she could overcome her fearfulness. She tried to inspire everyone to be strong and to be ready to roll with the punches. I think she had persuasive type of speech and I liked how she made eye contact with audience. It was very warm, clear and like in little family. We can to learn a lot of new things through all these videos.
