Public Speaking Fear - Perseverance

The best way to overcome public speaking fear is to keep on doing it. George Bernard Shaw used this method to overcome his public speaking fear.

To improve on his method, develop a short speech and deliver it frequently.

There are groups and organisations that meet every week that are ideal places to practice, e.g PTA meetings, social and civic clubs. Also a good public speaking course, that gives you the opportunity to speakcan help immensely.

Once you get going on, public speaking fear usually declines rapidly to the point where it helps you develop your public speaking skills to give more effective speeches.

The fear of public speaking is a normal fear, but it has been learned and can be overcome by using the 5 "P"s of preparation, passion, positive, practice and perseverance.
