Public speaking is reportedly one of the worst fears humans will ever face - in fact, some people would have you believe it's worse than death! Whilst I can't presume that it's the same for everyone, it is, indeed, a well-recognised, and yet still very much misunderstood, fear. From racing heartbeat, sweaty palms, and shaking hands & knees, to tongue-tied, dry mouth, and forgetfulness - these are just some of the symptoms of speech anxiety known as Glossophobia - the fear of public speaking.
People tend to believe successful speakers and presenters are born with a talent for public speaking. This is nonsense! Public speaking is a skill - a skill which can be learnt. Even the best speakers in the world learned their craft, dedicating countless hours to training, practice, and experience - they were not born to present; it did not come naturally; they worked hard to get where they are and can now reap the rewards.
Clients often begin their public speaking journey because they:
- have a wedding speech to make,
- are wanting to step up their presentations to improve sales, or toward future advancement,
- have an interview to prepare for,
- are an author, preparing for a book launch,
- or perhaps they simply want to build their confidence in social settings.
