Facing the Fear of Speaking

Fear can paralyze even the most prepared speakers.

Nerves can lead to unnatural behaviors—speaking too fast, freezing, or becoming monotone.

This fight-or-flight response stems from worrying about others' judgment. Recognizing this is the first step in overcoming it.

Fear-induced behaviors can be mitigated by imagining a casual coffee shop chat.

By visualizing this scenario as a way to bring authenticity and relatability to presentations.

Speak as you would to a friend, focusing on connection rather than perfection.
