Why is public speaking so terrifying that people would rather free-fall from 10,000 feet than stand in front of a crowd?

The good news—you don’t have to take the leap to conquer your fear. Stay on the ground, build confidence in your voice, and see how Effective Presentations can help you master the art of speaking.

𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹: Become aware of your non-verbal communication when presenting.

𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: When presenting our brains are focused on what we are going to say next and how to articulate our thoughts and ideas into words. Naturally our body language does what is comfortable for us, so our subconscious takes over and we our natural posture and for most people that posture doesn't portray confidence.

𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: Pay attention other peoples body language when you're having a conversation or watching them present. Ask yourself if it is adding to the message or detracting because it's distracting.
