I would say internal noise distracts me the most. An example of this would be when I get nervous, when I'm hungry, or if my palms are sweaty. All these things affect me the most when I am public speaking. One strategy that really helps me get over this is when I know a lot about the topic I'm talking about, or in other words passionate about the topic.
I could totally agree with this miles!
I will need more than this in the future. Give reasons, tell me why, relate it to concepts from the chapter. I'll give you credit this week, but beef it up moving forward.
Yes so true! I get distracted when I am nervous and I think about myself and if I look weird.
Hunger is most definitely a form of internal noise that many people fail to satisfy. It's not very controllable, but it can be helped if planned for in advance.
I agree with this Miles! Great examples of internal noises that affects your focus.
Yes for sure, internal noise distracts me the most too.
I agree that sometimes internal noise is distracting. I am with you completely that being prepared and knowing what you are going to say and talk about is a big key to success while speaking publicly. Speaking about something you are passionate about is also a key component to finding success in front of others.
