There's a rampant fear of public speaking in A/E/C.
Here's the real cold hard truth about this.
You say you're afraid or nervous about speaking up.
But, it's not the talking part that brings anxiety.
The underlying issue is you don't trust yourself.
You say you don't feel confident even though you know the material inside and out.
It's about facing your truth about the deeper issue of self-doubt and trust.
I see it every day with coaching clients and in my group programs.
A/E/C pros who are willing to commit to becoming better communicators quickly lose their fear of public speaking.
They actually enjoy engaging with others (and generating business.)
It's an inside job.
Transform your negative self-talk first to gain confidence and begin to trust yourself at a deep core level.
Your self-inflicted fear of public speaking will subside.
Then, you'll grow connections, opportunities, and profits.
Reading slides in shortlisted interviews doesn't engage prospects.
Top-tier communicators in A/E/C know how to read the room.
Reading the room means you notice peoples' facial expressions, body language, and energy.
Do people in your presentations look distracted, impatient, or confused?
You must notice what people aren't saying.
Then, you can subtly re-engage and bring prospects back to your message without missing a beat.

Communication tip for Architects, Engineers, and Construction Professionals:
When pursuing new business, pursue curiosity at every turn of the project lifecycle.
Curiosity helps beat competitors as it:
Engages people
Develops deep listening
Guides you to ask better questions (gather the proper intel)
Improves critical thinking skills
and much more.
Curiosity is a business growth strategy and leadership trait that people can learn.
Successful A/E/C project managers use it to win shortlisted interviews.
