The ultimate public speaking handbook: Tips, techniques, and strategies to help you deliver stellar speeches and harness the power of storytelling.
Around 75% of people rank the fear of public speaking as their number one fear.
This means that public speaking can be more daunting than losing your job, being rejected by someone you're interested in, or even dying!
If you have a fear of public speaking, then you know how it feels to get up before an audience. Your hands start to shake, your thoughts get jumbled up, and your goal is to just "get through it."
When you rush through a speech, read a script, or fail to engage your audience, chances are, they will feel unmotivated, bored, or ready for you to finish.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Imagine if, in the minutes leading up to a speech, you felt confident and excited about telling your story.
Imagine you were over the moon about sharing information that could change people's lives.
Despite what you may have heard, few people are born confident speakers. So many great orators and public figures-ranging from Warren Buffett to Mahatma Gandhi-struggled with issues like shyness and introversion.
What they didn't do, however, is avoid public speaking at all costs, or make the same mistakes each time they had to face an audience.
