Question

Dave is a small business owner attending a large convention. The presenter suddenly, and without any prior warning, asks him to step up on the stage and say a few words about why his business has been so successful. Which of the following methods will likely help him most in overcoming his feelings of apprehension?

a. breathe deeply & practice frequently

b. carefully prepare & visualize the outcome

c. breathe deeply & think positively

d. think positively & visualize the outcome

Answer 1

Answer is C

breathe deeply & think positively

Answer 2

Breathe deeply and think positively. Breathing deeply will help to calm his nerves and clear his mind and help him to compose himself and thinking positively will allow him to see how he has been successful and what are the reasons for his success to share with the audience and realizing that since it is impromptu the audience will probably be more forgiving than if he had a prepared speech.
