"We've all heard the statistics: People are more afraid of public speaking than they are of snakes, spiders, or even death. You are not alone.
It is stressful to think about a room full of people whose judging eyes are all on you. What if you forget what you wanted to say? What if you trip over the microphone cord or tuck your skirt into the back of your pantyhose? What if you have broccoli in your teeth, gravy on your tie, or they boo you off the stage. What if everyone thinks you're an idiot?
Thinking this way is what leads most people to feel that death is a better alternative than public speaking - but it's all in your imagination. Just like anything else you've ever learned to do, you can overcome your awkwardness by understanding the mechanics and practicing.
The audience is on your side.
Have you ever hoped a speaker would stink? Be boring? Fail miserably? Of course not! You want to be entertained and informed just like the rest of the audience. You want to see the speaker be successful. Even if the speaker is a complete stranger, you are rooting for him and you truly hope he will do well."
