The more you believe in yourself and your speaking ability, the more your audience will. Maxwell provides his advice on how to speak more confidently and powerfully, encouraging you to adopt two beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Believe in your ability to communicate. <\/strong>Your self-confidence affects how you perform in front of an audience. If you show that you\u2019re nervous, your audience will be more concerned about you than your message. Maxwell suggests you start small and develop a short affirming statement to remind yourself that you\u2019re able to communicate well and make a difference with your words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If public speaking makes you nervous, it can be hard to feel confident by stating affirming statements alone. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-charisma-myth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Charisma Myth<\/em><\/a>, Olivia Fox Cabane suggests you practice visualization and powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/body-language-crucial-conversations\/\">body language<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-charisma-myth#how-to-be-more-charismatic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change your mental state and make you feel more confident<\/a>. When you feel anxious, imagine that you\u2019re being hugged. This releases chemicals in your brain that help calm your nerves. To feel more confident, stand tall and puff out your chest. As this posture becomes a habit, you\u2019ll naturally feel more confident.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Believe you can help your audience. <\/strong>When you believe your message can positively impact people\u2019s lives, your audience will sense your passion and become more excited about your ideas. Maxwell also suggests believing that your audience <em>wants <\/em>to learn from you. If you approach your speech with the mindset that people are eager to listen, your words will be more encouraging. On the other hand, if you doubt anyone\u2019s interested in what you have to say, your words may lack conviction and be less persuasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/talk-like-ted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Talk Like TED<\/em><\/a>, Carmine Gallo offers some evidence that may help you believe that your audience truly is eager to learn from you and that your message will have a positive impact on them: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/talk-like-ted\/chapter-3#the-importance-of-presenting-something-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The human brain is wired to love learning<\/a>.
