According to multiple surveys, people’s biggest fear isn’t flying on a plane, or spiders, or walking to the edge of a cliff. Most people’s biggest fear is glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking.
The world of public speaking can feel like a lonely, frightening place. Simply the thought of delivering a speech or presenting a proposal to colleagues can cause severe performance anxiety that results in physical tension and intense self-consciousness.
Yet public speaking doesn’t have to be a negative experience, and the good news is that effective public speaking isn’t magic; it’s a skill set that can be learned, and the results can be transformative — not only professionally, but personally, and in everything you do.
