Speak!: Overcoming the Fear and Horror of Public Speaking

“The best way to deliver a powerful message is to ‘be a good person skilled in speaking’ . . . And you can change the world with your words.”

—Joe Hart, CEO, Dale Carnegie & Associates

 

If the thought of speaking in public makes you anxious, you’re not alone.

The good news is that you don’t need to suffer from stress when it’s your time to stand up in front of others. Being comfortable as a speaker requires recognizing that speaking is not about you, it’s about the audience. When we focus on the message the audience needs to hear, how it will be received by the audience, and we deliver it from the heart, the fear of public speaking disappears.
