Imagine what it would be like to be asked to speak to a room of colleagues, at an event or even a best man’s speech and accept the request with confidence. You’d then go on to present confidently and calmly. Imagine that. You could achieve so much more in your career, and in social situations once you feel confident to share your story.*
Public speaking doesn’t just have to be large groups in an audience, it can be as simple as speaking to someone in a job interview.
If you live with public speaking anxiety, you may worry weeks or months in advance of a speech or presentation, and you probably have severe physical symptoms of anxiety during a speech, including:
Shaking
Blushing
Pounding heart
Quivering voice
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Upset stomach
These symptoms are a result of the fight or flight response—a rush of adrenaline that prepares you for danger. When there is no real physical threat, it can feel as though you have lost control of your body. This makes it very hard to do well during public speaking and may cause you to avoid situations in which you may have to speak in public. This can go as far as to avoid situations like job interviews. Now that really can hold you back.

“You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.”
IS IT JUST ME?
If you have a fear or phobia of public speaking then you are not alone. Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is remarkably common. In fact, some experts estimate that as much as 77% of the population has some level of anxiety regarding public speaking.
Although a fear or phobia of public speaking is very common, you don’t have to accept it. It is possible to enable you to overcome your fear or phobia of presenting*.
