It went well after all, and that moment is kept in her mind as “moment of success”. Nienke recommends to keep you own “moment of success” on your mind and tap into it when you need it, in order to prevent stage fright. Being an authentic speaker She has made a research observing top CEOs, executives, bankers, politicians, and many other speakers. Only nearly 10% of them speak authenticly. An authentic speaker: * Is there to serve to the audience. * Speaks beyond her/his own ego (avoids phrases starting with “I …”). * Masters also body language and voice. 70% is body language, 20% is voice, and 10% is content.
