Cures for public speaking nerves
Having worked with thousands of people trying to overcome their fear of public speaking, one of the most common questions I'm asked is are there any cures for public speaking nerves. People seem to want to find a pill that will just get rid of the nerves completely, once and for all. But there is no magic bill that will rid you of your fears. However, that doesn't mean your fear of public speaking cannot be cured. Indeed, I'm convinced that everyone who suffers from nervousness when speaking in public, or glossophobia as it is called by psychologists, can be treated and that their fears can be eradicated. There are two steps needed to achieve this. The first one is a change in attitude. The second step is to deal with any personal issues or unresolved matters which are causing the fear in the first place. Once these steps have been taken, practical matters such as preparing the presentation or speech so that it flows well and is easy to remember, can help. But a change in attitude accompanied by some work on personal issues cures people every time.
