If you are anything like me, you've read dozens of books and listened to countless programs on public speaking.? One common thread that I tend to find in all the info out there on public speaking, is that "research shows that PUBLIC SPEAKING IS THE #1 FEAR OF MOST PEOPLE."
Now let me ask you a question: if I (or heck, anyone) held a gun to your head and and said "You'll need to give a public speech in three months on a topic of your passion or a topic that you know really well."? What would you say?? My halucination is that you'd NOT say "Go ahead, pull the trigger," but rather accept the challenge and do that speech.
I underlined the above because that's what ussually happens: 1) you have plenty of time to prepare; and 2) you can usually speak on a topic that you are either passionat about or one that you know really well.? And when you present such topics, only one thing can happen: perhaps start out with some butterflies in your stomach, but as you go on with your presentation, you get sucked into your topic, you connect
....
When I started thinking about becoming a speaker - which by the way was just a wild dream and I knew I could never possibly accomplish it - I used to literally get close to passing out after only a few seconds of speaking.? My knees would shake really, really hard, and felt like butter; I'd have a very strong cramp in my stomach, my heart would beat so hard that you could probably see it through my jaket, I'd feel that in any moment now I'll pee in my pants (I'm not kidding - in fact, a few times I did do a little mess); and if I'd go on speaking equipacion inter for about 2 or three minutes, my thoat would start getting really "narrow" and in less than a minute I'd choke up and break down and cry.
It's the 100% truth, and the above does not do justice to how terribly I equipacion inter felt each time I had to speak in public.? The most embarasing was when I had to do my college public speaking speeches.? I had A's in all my other classes and I wanted an A in public speaking too.
