Detach from outcomes.

According to Scott Ginsberg, when you detach from outcomes…

You relax more.
Which lowers your guard.
Which lowers other people’s guards.
Which enables you to produce better quality work.

In speaking…

DON’T focus on…looking good.
DO focus on…making your audience look good by giving them as much value as you can!

DON’T focus on… how your speech could flop.
DO focus on… how you can make the best out of your speech, no matter what happens.

DON’T focus on… perfection because truth is nothing will be perfect.
DO focus on… the process, the journey, the lessons because they count.

Scott Ginsberg also shared how this principle can be applied in various disciplines including sales, creating art, marketing and in conversations. You can read more here.

P.S: Here’s another way to overcome your fear of public speaking once and for all - buy the hard copy of The FAQ Book on Public Speaking on Amazon (and study chapter 2!). For those of you from States, you will be delighted to know that you will only pay USD13.60 because of the pre-order discount and low shipping fee. Here’s the link - get the book before the price gets raised to USD20.

For my fellow Singaporeans, the hard copy will be out in Popular, Borders and Kino mid Dec. Will inform you of the special discounts when the date nears. Talk soon.
