Public Speaking is EASY!!! If it’s your first ever speech it’s understandable to fear it. But why it is the world’s greatest fear is beyond me. As I said, IT IS EASY!!! Inform me, please, if you do enter any competitions, I’d really like to see you speak and show me that you can prove you have conquered your “inner demon” of speaking. State Level speaking is a whole different kettle of fish. Now that, I would understand as a fear in the bottom 1000 of the worlds least feared things.

[...] Something many of you will know about me by now is that I really try to make the most of life and take advantage of this opportunity I have on earth. Part of making the most of life, to me, is facing your fears and really going for what you want, even if it scares you. That is something I did around 6 months ago when I joined a public speaking club. [...]

Great job conquering your fear head on! I think we forget most of the time that we are our own worst critics. If you make a mistake, unless you are obviously upset about it, no one will even notice. It’s almost always an internal battle. Would love to see some clips of your before/after progress!

Hey Aaron, thanks a lot for your comment, I’m glad you’ve been finding the articles useful!

I definitely think you should go ahead and give it a try, you can’t have been more nervous than I was before attending, but I certainly don’t regret it. And neither will you!

That’s a great point Julian, it’s important to care at least on some level that you give a great speech and you entertain the audience.

Thanks a lot for your comment.

This is a great post.

I’ve always been quite fearful of talking to, and in front of, strangers. I’ve gotten better talking with people I don’t know by joining networking groups, but I still haven’t had the experience of speaking in front of groups of people. I’ve known of Toastmasters for years, but this post has regained my interest in it and I intend to look into the local chapters here.

Thanks for the number of great articles you post each week. I’ve found many of them very helpful.
