Communication is the most important skill for personal and professional success. In this talk, Danish Dhamani discusses how overcoming your fear of public speaking is key to leading a fulfilling life and unlocking your true potential. Danish’s vision is to empower everyone around the world to overcome their fear of public speaking and to become a better communicator. As a first generation immigrant, for whom English is a second language, the fear of public speaking haunted Danish throughout his early life. By constant practicing and coaching, he soon realized that people are not born public speakers; instead public speaking is a learn-able skill. This is what inspired Danish to create Orai, a mobile app that uses artificial intelligence to improve your speaking ability. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    • I have the same problem, while giving presentation or smthg like that. I start to memorize things rather than understanding it and talk freely...Its sucks. I feel pressured and I forget everything. I forget how to speak... And as I am not good at speaking english, this always makes me anxious when I go infront. I feel like I am unable to create a sentence by myself...

  • The problem is that no one really gets it. Everyone thinks that you just have to talk and get over it, but it’s not like that. Every single time I have to go to class and I know I have to talk because my grade is on the line, or simply the thought of having to talk terrifies me. It has completely taken over my life, i am constantly shaking and my heart beats so fast it feels like it’s going to get out of my chest, I get so red and nobody understands it. Nobody gets how ashamed I feel because I can’t get myself to do something that seems so easy but it’s so difficult for me. Anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Stop making excuses, just act on it. You are the one disabling yourself, not others. Put the blame of everything on yourself and change yourself.

"You have nothing to loose here,.. dont think about others , they will laugh on you on your mistakes and appreciate on your success.. so ,dont worry, be frank and tell whatever you know, you feel,.. I am with you .. ", this changed my perspective and either my voice was shattered, I spoke fearlessly.. And since then I kept motivating myself about stage daring...

  • Today I had a public speaking in front of 600 people and I failed miserably. When i came into that stage, my mind was covered blank instantly. And when I was having a hard time giving a speech, I paused constantly, lost my speech started to talk non - sense. Although, I knew today I wasn't prepared enough and that I have learned how the public speaking works in front of 100s of people. Even though I lost my speech, I turned this horrific experience to a large and best opportunity and lesson I could get in my life. I know it sounds crazy, I left my emotions flow for many hours then I ended up being positive with myself. I gained huge amount of confidence after my embarrassing experience of todays speaking in front of a crowd. I got an opportunity to understand how I must react, settle my self, emotions and how I must be very prepared for my public speech. I don't know why, but it was embarassing and weirdly I feel very happy about the fact that I failed and analysed my faults.

We get thrown into situations where we have to teach an entire company of soldiers and when you are pulled to do it it’s without warning or early notice so you essentially aren’t prepared. But we learn from it and you seem to be on the right path of learning from your mistakes.

Whenever my turn comes my heart beat races uncontrollably, I try to stay calm but my body begin to shake.. but while I am half way with my presentation I feel so confident and calm and can do well, but I always have that initial terror that haunts me till now even if I am well prepared. I don't know why. I want to overcome this because I like public speaking so much and want to talk like them one day. But every time I get amazing opportunity my bad luck hits...😢

  • I remember watching this video 2 days before I did my speech for a Public Speaking Competition. I was extremely nervous and shaking to the point where I wouldn’t get in the car to go to the place. I ended up winning the competition. My advice for you is to know your speech. To know what you’re talking about. If you know your speech you can go places. But make sure to memorise those words!!

Make sure your speech has sub headings and practice each part, over and over again until you have a pretty good idea of what you’re talking about. Now after that you want to record yourself saying the full speech and then listen to the recording of your voice each night or whenever you want to practise. It helps so much. What I did was read parts of my lines and than listen to the recording to see if I was right.

  • I can speak really good when i am alone. My English is fluent and my pronunciations are perfect but as soon as i am put on the spot in a room full of people my speaking skills go down drastically. I stutter my words get stuck and my vocab goes zero. So the main problem for me is confidence. I can't even look the other person in the eye. I hope to overcome this fear.

  • One of my students told me that when he discussed his anxieties with someone close to him, like his wife or a close friend, then he found that the moment he started opening up to them, the anxiety decreased-even before he received any advice or support. Togetherness definitely decreases anxiety. There is a saying in the wisdom of Kabbalah that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” i.e. when we share a sensation, we divide it up, and in turn it becomes more manageable. Since it is quite easy to see how sharing our experiences lessens our negative feelings, the question is why do we not use this ability more? Why is it so hard for us to share our fears and anxieties with others? We are indeed afraid of opening our hearts, letting everyone see that we have certain fears and anxieties. That is, in addition to whatever fears and anxieties we hold within, we usually have additional anxieties about sharing them with others, that it might cause others to perceive us as weak. Since society in general values stronger, smarter, wealthier and fitter individuals, opening up our anxieties to such a society makes us vulnerable to exploitation. We thus need to seek a social environment that would not exploit us for opening up, but would rather give us a sense of faith and confidence that it can help us cope with any negative feelings. A social setting that can guarantee faith and confidence in its members is one that actively draws itself to the upper good and benevolent force-the force of love, bestowal and connection. It is this very same force that awakens negative feelings in us, whether they be fears, anxieties or several other painful sensations, in order for us to draw closer to that force, and we do so by drawing closer to each other. If we wish to connect with the upper force and let its perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection fill our lives with a sensation of faith and confidence, then we need to emulate such a quality toward other people-giving them a sense of faith and confidence, and for them to do the same toward us. By wanting to positively connect with others, we then start awakening the positive force dwelling in nature into the connections we create, and we then feel a new sense of faith and confidence wash away any anxieties that we might be holding within.

  • I have a presentation next Tuesday to the whole school. Often, I feel like I can do it when I speak to myself, but then a nagging thought pops up in my mind the next moment and says, "No, you can't. You can't even speak confidently enough to your class, let alone to the whole school." I'm not... unprepared. Whenever I look at my teacher, she gives me a sense of relief and looking at everyone else with their gloomy faces jumbles up my mind. It's just that my mind goes blank and my words tangle like strings and the information that stores in my brain all disappear. I also want to do TED talks one day, you know, to share my experience with the people who want to hear. But, I aspire to be like this man. I'm only fourteen with so much else to do, often ostracising myself for every little thing but I journal a lot so yeah. Well, time to do my best.

And the ridicule got worse each year into high school and college. I'm doing my Ph.D. degree now and I have gotten a better hold of my anxiety. I have realized the way forward is to do things that make you happy, have a positive frame of mind and if possible, to take up leadership positions - to put myself in front of everyone else to build the person I want to be. The journey may be hard for you right now, but I trust you. You can do it. Just keep going! 💪🏻

  • I think a hack to combat the fear for me is not in the focus towards practising the public speaking art in itself... it is when I fully to my core realise the shortness of life, that we will all go, that life can end any time... that your house will be occupied by another many generations that never knew your existence towards the house, 'belongings' that do not actually belong to you, everything goes and the only thing you really have is the present moment, experiences and your energy - which leads to a healthy level of disconnect to everything. Some call it 'not taking life too seriously'. I think that is what people should focus on and every area will change. Other fears may also fade and you will take on more opportunities with excitement because you don't take things too seriously and you want to really make the most of everything in life and try new things and embrace challenges with a new mindset, imperative to getting over fears. That deep insight is a journey and I would say my increase in confidence to speak (from a nervous wreck I once was) was a by-product of it. The issue is, this profound insight can only be learnt in time as you develop and undergo real life challenges and from ending up in the deep dark rock bottom of life mentally - as you get up, you will end up almost 'reborn' as a new person who can see the world from a different lens that life is so short, this time is all we have and life is one big fun game. In the grand scheme of things, nothing really matters. Not in a nihilistic way though. Anxiety only gets stronger and has a place in you if you give it the importance and attention it needs to thrive. Accept anxiety as a hardwired state in us that actually serves to protect us instead of fighting it. Anxiety is actually the bodies way of showing love to protect you from harmful things - of course we do not need anxiety now for things like public speaking but never fight it - instead acknowledge that the body loves you to do that and the anxiety TRUST ME will make peace and dissolve over time.
