Gang,
Could someone give some encouraging words?
I will have to take class for freshers who joined my company recently.The thing is that I have a phobia talking infront of the crowd (stagefear), that too about a subject which I am not familiar with. The worst thing is this is not the first time I am taking classes, I have been doing this for the couple of years.
In a way, I feel good that I have been asked to do continuously forthe third year but stupid me, everytime I feel like I am taking class for the first time and I am SCARED. me restless since I got the calendar request from the HR.
Ahhhhh...please someone respond to this polambalsss.
I know this is a good oppurtunity etc etc, even then I feel bad, scared :'( :'(
Took another class today (for 1 hr) to the same group and I dont feel comfortable with the audience. That made my mood still worse. How would I take class for the whole dayyyy with this kind of ppl.
Last year it was a polite batch (they left me comfortable even when they asked questions). but today, ppl seemed to be soo harsh and asked so many things in a rude way...I did answer them for whatever questions I could and asked them to refer something for few questions....dont know, they sounded rude to me atleast :'(:'(

hey..keep the class alive..
1. crack jokes in between
2. ask the freshers to solve any problems and view from their perspective
3.ur body language speaks
4.keep the class more lively and make it 2 way interaction
5.U sure..U'll get Adengappa from ur students..
6.btw ???????!! is Adengappa in Tamil..Unicode not displayed correctly..
aha ivlo feel panna koodadhu kozhandhae:)
if u had done bad, u wuld not be doing it this yr.
and in that case, u shud not feel scared abt doing something in which u r good at.
and reg questions and people behaving not exactly politely,
treat this as an experience.
this is how we learn. this is how the word university teaches us.
yaaru kanda, neengale adutha varusham "stage fear ai pokkuvadhu epdi" nu kooda class edupeenga:)
note:
IBH,
en comments ai naane vaapas vangitten. neenga dhaan first:)

U know something that the audience doesnt,adhanla than they are asking u to teach them. Just prepare the best u can. Be confident. Therlanna therla sollu, nothing wrong, but be sure to get back to them after clarification. Be confident. Look confident.
I am sure u got lots of advice abt how to face an audience. Check up on the internet and u will find lotsof good articles.But the best thing is.. have LOTS of self confidence. That helps... okayva?? Good luck and do blog how it went. :))
The answer lies inside ur blog
"I dont feel comfortable with the
audience. "
Start feeling comfortable.. Get off track(Believe me all students like that).
Get a lil personal..
Talk abt cricket and sania mirza just for the sake of it.
If u think, they r rude to u. Be extra rude to them.. They will think twice.
If there are ppl who know tamil..ask them to read ur blog. U come across as an absolutely lovable girl here (nerla akka epdiyo andavarukku dhaan theriyum)
Dont scare them with any black mails.
And last, how abt going to a movie/tour together. It has always helped.
I for one never had stage fear even if I had to say Im a stupid infront of 1000 ppl.. Its abt feeling confident that whatever we speak they give a damn to us.
The minute u think they r listening to u. U r screwing urself.
PK, u are so adorable..:) thanks a lot...aiyooo edhuku vaapas vanginenga? :)))
i feel u r intelligent, hardworking and confident but u keep worrying on smaller things in life........i am not going to give some blah blah blah....i will give u a link just go thru this...its 90/10 principle explained in comments....
http://vanguard2010.blogspot.com/2005/05/facts-amazing-people.html#comments
it might sound unrelated....but sometimes u think in a different angle and it will make sense....made sense to me few times..
hope this helps....
hahahaha...
namma case( stage fear ) :) ..don't worry gal...
enakku edhavadhu idea irundha kodunga :)
As time goes we'll get better...don't worry...
hi... first time i am commenting here..
i hav been in your shoes before.. i hav never talked in front of more than 3-4 ppl and i was suddenly pushed as a last minute replacement faculty for a freshers batch...
the trick i used was to let the audience talk more.. try to keep the session as interactive as possible which would generate interest among the audience and also you would feel more comfy with them..
as time went by, i looked fwd to these sessions.. i am sure it could happen to you as well.. Good luck!!
now i came to know about the real reason.....classes means no computer and no blogging.... :p
Wooo hooooo :)))) happppaaa that class is over todayyyyyyyy yehhhhhhhh ippa evloo relaxed'aa irukenu solla vaarthayae illaii..uffff..and needless to say, its only bcos of u guys I could do that...ohhh u r really really sweettt, supportive, consoling :)) really I mean it !!
And sorry for this late reply. I was reading ur comments again and again to build my confidence :) and was preparing for the class. so comments'ku reply pannalai. I know some of u guys would have checked this post/comments again whether I was ok with ur suggestion and all :) I can understand. oruthar oruthar suggestion'um really helped me. chumma unghalukaaga sollala; nijama I considered and tried to practice ur suggestion. Oh God, it reallyy helped, guys.
IBH - aama, that helped me. nammala vida audience'ku neriya theriyumnu oru nenaipu vanthaa, avlo thaan, sothappala poidum. thanksss pa :)
Adengappa - ohh I am sorry for addressing u as "Anon ?!" in the other post. Stupid me, I didnt even click on the name and checked ur blog after seeing those ?. And yes, I tried some jokes :p and made it interactive. that helped me, nanba :-) u r prabhu right. will check ur blog hereafter. thanks for dropping by.

IOIIO - thanks da. u know wat, I went to the class 10 min before the actual time, and had a chat with the guys. Oh that helped me a lot. When I started the class, it looked like I have continued that conversation and didnt appear as a class da..that was tooo gooodddd :)) thanksss. And dei, intha class inaiku mattum thaan. oru naal koothuku elam avanghala veliya elam kootitu poga mudiyathu ;-) but thats a good idea if u will have to handle class for a long time though. Ah, ella points'umae nalla porunthichu actually. LOL @ last line. athu inum comfortable'a irunthathu actually. The points reg how to take the class effectively, athu padikaracha, ennala mudiyuma mudiyumaanu bayam kongham irunthathu. but intha line padikarapa I have prepared myself to face the situation even if I mess up the class too :p whats the big deal, antha maathi thonidthu. ufff. thanksss :)
Me - naan 90/10 principle padichu iruken. but so nice of u to remind me that stuff when I actually needed that. WORTH reading again. Thanks Me :-) btw, "but u keep worrying on smaller things in life" - is correct :D
Krishna - :)) happaaa I have a company. u know wat, even this thought helps most of the times (atleast for me) :). I will be ok if I know that I am not the only one worrying for this, feeling bad for something etc etc. mathavangha kashtapadratha paathu santhosham kedaiyathu; like u r not the odd one out 'nghra feeling helps me. hope u get that in the right sense.
