Showing Us That You’re Nervous
It is not uncommon to “show” your audience that you are nervous. You may become flushed, begin shaking, etc. These are natural physical manifestations of feeling anxious. In this exercise, your Senior IG Instructor will provide you with the skills to not “show” your audience that you are feeling anxious.
Verbal Trigger: using IGs proprietary algorithms
Your Senior IG Instructor will analyze your unique speech pattern, identifying your unique verbal trigger(s). Your verbal trigger(s) will cause you to: go off- tangent, repeat yourself, use non-words (um & uh) excessively, and significantly increase your anxiety while speaking. By eliminating your verbal trigger though the use of IGs proprietary algorithms, you will significantly diminish your anxiety while speaking.

At the conclusion of this exercise, you acquire the skills to effectively respond to any question, regardless of the question or person who asked the question, without displaying hostility, or losing control of the discussion.
