ABSTRACT
Ask a group of business leaders if they look forward to giving presentations to large audiences and the majority will respond negatively. Many individuals panic, feel self-conscious, have physical reactions and ultimately lack confidence in this area of leadership. This is linked to a concept called ‘self-talk’, also known as ‘internal dialogue’. This is derived from Tim Gallwey’s studies and publications on ‘The Inner Game’ where he reviews the impact of the mindset upon performance.
