5 Self-Evaluation: Quick Assignment

Physiological Symptoms

 I do feel nervousness inside which shows up as shakiness in my voice.

Negative thourhgs

 I fear that I will forget what I need to speak and often write that down.
 More frequently, I write complete sentences (and many times read from that also) as I fear that
I may not be able to frame a straight/simple sentence.
o Many times I prepare notes but not read them or not refer to them at all. But when I do
try to read notes, the delivery is always for the worse.
 There are times when I over think or analyze what I have spoken and how that doesn’t make
sense or the scenarios when the logic of the sentence fails. It happens less often lately though.

Concerns with delivery

 I feel my voice is not strong enough or doesn’t carry weight. I sound monotonous when I
speaking under stress and also fumble sometimes.

Issues with content

 Many times I prepare the content but don’t review it because I get bored (I think I get
overwhelmed just thinking about the review). It always helps if I can get a person to hear the
entire content or even the outline – then I don’t get bored and I can hear myself and make
necessary changes.
