Are you anxious about speaking in public? You are not alone! Americans rate speech anxiety as one of their three top fears. However, anxiety can serve as a motivator, pumping adrenaline into your body, and making you more aware of presentational dynamics.
Make a list of all the times you have presented information publicly of all varieties (formal, informal, prepared, impromptu, etc.). After developing the list, how much experience would you say you have with public speaking? Explain which situations were more comfortable for you and why. What steps did you take to manage your anxiety?
