This article focuses on speaking fear. Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Fear has its own set of techniques in speech coaching due to the lasting difficult feelings that are stuck in your body long after the event has passed.
Speaking fear exists in a situation of constant opposition. Fearful speaking situations often involve a combative verbal, and sometimes physical, altercation each time the person or group is together. People or groups who consistently work against each other cannot reach an agreement. Although it may appear the sides are ‘trying’ to work toward a common goal, they never meet on common ground.
If you are experiencing legitimate speaking fear due to ongoing high conflict, I completely understand how this difficult experience is hard to shake off. When you are unable to reach productive collaboration, avoiding the interaction or ghosting your adversaries may be the best option until you acquire professional help to conquer dealing with an impossible interaction. The negative impacts of being consistently stressed will eventually accumulate so please take care of your mind and body during this difficult experience.Â
Resolving speaking fear requires specific tools, resources, and speech techniques to help you manage combative speaking situations. The good news is most speakers seldom encounter fear in their daily professional lives. In an unexpected, one-off fearful speaking situation at work, remember that your body and mind will react intensely as fear sets in.
