Glossophobia,
or the fear of speaking in public, is one of the most common fears. The phobia
stems from a fear of being embarrassed and judged, according to an article by Forbes
magazine. I used to experience this kind of feeling in the old times often. Yet
now, I can reduce what people say as the fear of speaking in public. As day goes by, my confidence level is increase. I started to love speaking in public. Unfortunately,
for many people, public speaking can be terrifying experience, like I ever
felt. Of course this can’t be happened all the times since public speaking is
important in many aspects of our lives. Do you want to know what I am doing for
reducing my fear of public speaking? I do many, but the most contributing
recently is, joining public speaking community. I am going to tell you about a
community which has been one of my favorite ways to overcome the number one of
fears in America (according to Wall Street Magazine). I joined this community
in the early of 2013. The community’s name is Senang Bicara.
Senang
Bicara is a place for people who are interested in public speaking. If you want
to learn how to overcome the fear of speaking in public, this is the place. If
you want to know how to speak effectively and inspire other people, this is the
right place for you. If you want to share your knowledge or ideas about public
speaking, definitely don’t miss this one. Senang Bicara provides you the place
for all those things, because it offers many activities to cover them up. This
community was founded by Nila Kresna and friends in November 2011. Members of
the community interact each other through social media such as Facebook page
and Twitter, and also there are meetings held every month in Jakarta.
There are
two kinds of meetings every month in this community, After Office Hours (AOH)
which is held twice a month and Kongkow Senang Bicara which is held once a
month. I have never been attending After Office Hour, but I already attended
Kongkow Senang Bicara twice. Kongkow Senang Bicara is one thing I like about
this community. We can get knowledge from Nila Kresna as the founder of
community or other public speaking experts. Furthermore, everyone who attends
it is given a chance to be a speaker in front of others for about 3 minutes.
Usually each of us get different theme to talk, but of course we can also talk
about many things like introducing ourselves or sharing our experiences. At the
end, the experts evaluate our performances and give feed back. I felt that the
feed back is very useful so that we can know what our lack is and improve our
speaking skills.
Finally,
this kind of community helps me to increase my own value, and the most
important is increase my self confidence. I bet you better do the same thing if
you want to increase your own value as well. To get more information about
Senang Bicara Public Speaking Community, you can follow its Twitter account
