You’re welcome 🙏🏼
I can’t say I’m a public speaker, but I have a number of reasons, for the sake of my career goals, that I need to become one. The most immediate reason is that I published a book earlier this year, and once Covid has subsided, I hope to go to schools and universities to give guest lectures on the subjects therein. I’ve always suffered from pretty horrible social anxiety, so it’s not at all something I’m naturally given to, but I know that my fear response will eventually die down, and that by being thoroughly prepared I will be able to better gain control of my nerves, so an astute article on the subject, like yours, is invaluable to me. Thanks again for sharing your experience and analysis!
