  Does anyone here have a fear of public speaking?

  Krysta, You have two options when you are afraid of public speaking: 1) Learn to love it by doing it so often and in various different settings that you eventually lose the fear. For example, I used to be a teacher; so I was constantly presenting before high-school students. Also, I was consulting on the side; so I joined a Business Network International where we had to get up and speak every week. As a result, speaking becomes easy. It’s not always feasible to continually put oneself in the limelight; so . . . 2) Learn to veil the nerves. Accept that you have them, but know that nobody will notice. One way, for example is to stop the shaky hands buy simply holding a heavy padfolio under your notes. Ringing a bell each time someone says “ummm” and “ahh” will only make the person more nervous, and in most cases they will say it more. Suggest to your Toastmasters using a SILENT count. They can let you know afterwards. Here is how to stop ummms and ahhs: 1) Don’t bother trying to stop umming and ahhhing in your presentation. You will say them more. 2) Instead, always endeavor to stop saying them in your everyday conversations. It’s a long-term, pain-in-the-butt commitment that will yield you rich returns in public speaking and one-on-one communication. It’s this simple: Stop the filler in your daily talk, and it will cease to happen when you’re under pressure. Here is an instructional video that I’ve done to provide tips for speaking under pressure: http://tinyurl.com/l7vxw6 By the way, would somebody show me how you can place a link in but make it appear as a word?
