Why are public speaking monkeys an issue?

Public Speaking MonkeysDOUBT

More often than not the monkey voices are negative internal voices that put doubt in your mind about your presenting abilities. Do you find anxiety sometimes stops you even trying to get up to speak?

DISCOURAGEMENT

These voices then ultimately discourage you from talking in front of others altogether.

  • Do you look for ways to avoid talking? Always the last to volunteer?

WORRY

The voices or Public Speaking Monkeys can mean we build up anticipation further so we spend more time thinking about the worry rather than preparing.

  • Do you find you spend more time worrying than practising?
