About our One-Day Public Speaking Course
A common fear
You are not alone. Statistically, over 75% of people are frightened of speaking in public often experiencing high levels of anxiety, fear, and nerves.
Most people are not natural communicators or born public speakers. Many people are fearful, nervous and self-conscious in front of an audience. The "little voice" in their head is constantly over-thinking: "What will he, what will she, what will they think of me? What if I go blank and forget what I am saying? What happens if I make a mistake?"
That constant, incessant, persistent voice of fear will tell you that people will think you are boring, they will laugh at you, that you're not good enough, that you don’t deserve to be there, that your speech will be a disaster and you will be fully exposed for what you truly are – an imposter. techniques.
