Daphne owns a night club and frequently entertains large crowds. She feels very comfortable on stage and loves to make people laugh. Justin can't bear even the thought of speaking to a large group of people. He gets butterflies in his stomach and shakes so badly he can hardly stand, and once even lost his job because he refused to give a presentation to the board of directors. In order to achieve the level of confidence that Daphne seems to have achieved, Justin could start by doing all of the following except:
Answer
A
gain experience by practicing speaking in front of others often, starting with close friends and family, then attempting larger groups
B
imagine himself confidently delivering flawless performances, and the audience cheering and enjoying themselves
C
write and rehearse stand-up comedy routines and research night club audiences and performers to prepare for an audition with Daphne
D
make an effort to think positively about his abilities and look for elements of public speaking that he personally enjoys
