Remove fear of public speaking by giving up using slides

Many speakers say that standing on the platform without any audio visual aids is the most nerve racking thing they can do. All I can say is that when I run training courses, I make people do just that. Every single time, without fail, for the past 20 years, trainees have said to me that they are amazed. They suddenly feel free and realize that their confidence is HIGHER when they stop using slides. The very thing they were using to provide support and act as a kind of comfort blanket appears to be the very thing which is causing their nervousness and fear. Giving up audio visual aids is one of the most important and biggest fear reducing steps you can take.
