How I get over my fear of public speaking

I’m not going to lie, public speaking is definitely one of my least favorite things to do. I get anxious thinking about having to stand in front of a group of people and talk.

The benefits of public speaking

When it comes to public speaking, there are a lot of people who are afraid of it. I would get so nervous before a presentation that I would shake, sweat, and sometimes even vomit. But I overcame my fear and now I actually enjoy public speaking.

There are a few reasons why I decided to face my fear head on. For one, I realized that the more I avoided public speaking, the more my fear grew.

So I decided to take some small steps to slowly ease myself into public speaking. I started by practicing in front of family and friends, then moved on to giving presentations at work. And finally, I started taking on speaking engagements outside of work.

It wasn’t easy, but slowly but surely my fear began to dissipate. And as my confidence grew, I found that I actually enjoyed public speaking. It’s a great way to connect with people and share your ideas.
