So what emotion can beat crowd fear?
For years GIMAL suffered from fear of the crowd. Even in small team meetings.
Always refrained from participating, even when she had valuable ideas.
It made other team members appear more dominant and contributing than her,
Something that hurt her promotion and frustrated her.
One day, two weeks after she started a public speaking course with us,
Gimel participated in a discussion where a colleague blamed his failure on her work.
Gimel got upset, but was afraid to put him on the spot -
She was worried that her voice would shake, or that she wouldn't find the right words, or that she would hurt herself in some way.
The colleague of course took advantage of her silence to extricate himself from an embarrassing affair,
And as he continued to blame his failure on Gimel, she got more and more upset until...
"I got up from the spot and started yelling at him," she told us in the next lesson,
"And suddenly the fear disappeared. And suddenly I didn't care what people thought."
And the funniest thing is that it really worked - suddenly the fear passed over him, and he started apologizing.
"At the end of the discussion, they asked why I don't speak anymore? Now I'm also asking..."
What made the fear disappear?
It didn't just happen. There is one emotion stronger than fear of the crowd.
An emotion that if you learn to take advantage of it, it helps to overcome fear by a good percentage
(Although not high enough to put it in our regular course,
because there they commit to 100% for success in overcoming fear of crowds)
This technique is also somewhat controversial, but it changed Gimel's life,
And at the bottom of the email you will find out how to test it yourself, maybe it will change yours too...
Anger conquers fear. Anger also beats avoidance!
Yes, anger. surprisingly anger is able to overcome crowd fear,
And what is even more surprising is that anger also beats avoidance.
In the case of Gimel, and of hundreds of other students who tried this method,
The anger not only won her the argument, but flooded a different kind of inner strength,
Different from what we teach in most classes, but very effective.
Anger is a powerful medicine. Therefore, you have to be careful with the dosage
I hope for your benefit that you cannot use the anger method in front of an audience everywhere.
This is not a good way to spend life, and even on a professional level there comes a moment when it stops being convincing.
But in cases where the anger is justified - you should learn to get the most out of it.
In addition, anger in front of an audience is a tool that should be used wisely. Otherwise it causes damage.
And this requires professional accompaniment, and the correct choice of tools, and practice in a protected environment and professional feedback.
How to learn to get angry properly in front of an audience?
The best place to learn how to get angry properly in front of an audience is in a debate.
And your chance to see if you can learn to argue and win
In debate you learn a lot of other things: to think quickly, to develop creativity,
function under pressure - in a team, laugh, shout, get angry -
Then shake hands at the end and laugh about it together.
