Fear of public speaking will reduce with a great opening

People who have a fear of public speaking often find it difficult to get started. They tend to "warm up" and take time to get going because they are nervous. Only after a while, when they have realised the audience is not going to attack them do they settle in to what they are saying and relax a bit.

However, you can cope with this kind of public speaking fear by ensuring you have a strong opening. What you need is an attention-grabbing start which you have practised several times so that you could do it without thinking about it.

Once you have that organised you start your talk with it. This will immediately grab your audience and you will see their keen interest in you, boosting your confidence and making you have less fear.
