Information About Phobia Public Speaking
Presentation Principle 4: NEVER Apologize, Confess, Or Make Excuses!
Presenters say the darndest things…“I’m sorry but I have a cold today so my voice may sound a little funny” (apology) OR “I just found out about this presentation yesterday, so I didn’t have as much time to prepare as I would have liked” (excuse) OR EVEN “I’m so nervous…” (confession). It is always surprising how often and how easily presenters use these NEGATIVE phrases.

Up until now, that is.

If you want to WOW your audience, you have to adopt and live by the motto: NO APOLOGIES, NO EXCUSES, NO CONFESSIONS.

When you APOLOGIZE, MAKE AN EXCUSE, or CONFESS at any time during your presentation, you are in essence saying to the audience, “Don’t expect a lot from me today because I’ll disappoint you.” Instead of APOLOGIZING--“I’m sorry I didn’t bring in a sample, but I couldn’t arrange it on such short notice,” try framing it in the positive, “I am working on getting you a sample and I can deliver it next week.” Instead of making EXCUSES, put your energy into delivering the best possible presentation and then stand behind your performance--“I did the best job I could given the circumstances.” And limit your CONFESSIONS--especially those the audience has no business knowing such as “I’m so nervous”--to church!
