Does the thought of standing before an audience with all eyes on you keep you awake at night?
If so, I can relate.
See, I used to have a stutter and for many years I thought public speaking was about as scary as life gets. So much so that in the run up to one particulary stressful presentation, my hair actually started falling out.
I'd try and avoid giving presentations or speaking in public until finally, I just realised, this is silly, public speaking is darn important as you make your way through life - I knew I couldn't avoid it forever.
So I took off on a journey to find a better way. After many twists, turns, trials and errors, I found ways to actually enjoy public speaking. Now, it's right up there with eating Indian food as one of my favorite things to do.
Public Speaking Sucker (sucking the suckiness out of public speaking) is a blog that serves as my attempt to help you on your own journey from public speaking causing you untold misery to one day standing in front of an audience and feeling confident, at ease and relaxed.
See, as improbable as it might feel now - and believe me, there was a time when I too was resigned to avoiding public speaking forever - I'm living proof that just because public speaking is freaking you out today, it doesn't mean it has to tomorrow, next week, or even a year from now.
