An excellent infographic on how to hack your anxiety about presenting

Some infographics aren’t useful. On January 27, 2016 Matt Abrahams posted an excellent one titled Hack Your Anxiety. He discusses nine situations based on three types of anxiety:


SITUATION BASED?
(Where you’re presenting)

Flip it
Outsmart
Reframe


AUDIENCE BASED?
(To whom you are presenting)

Visualize
Connect
Reshift


GOAL BASED?
(What you are trying to achieve)

Acknowledge
Be present
Refocus

Under Flip It he says:

“Since the physiological manifestations of anxiety are similar to excitement (e.g. increased heart rate). trick yourself into feeling good about presenting by seeing your physical reaction as excitement.”
