I make my living talking.
In other words, I do a lot—and I mean a lot—of public speaking.
Now, I know as soon as I utter the phrase “public speaking,” most people get a certain feeling—and it’s not a good one. In fact, surveys have consistently shown that public speaking is the #1 fear!
It surpasses the fear of death—and even… the fear of clowns! (YIKES!)
I also know, however, that many people actually want (or need) to do more public speaking, but their fears are holding them back.
I understand. Heck, I still get hit with all those feelings. A fear of letting the audience down. A fear of making a mistake in front of a large group of people. A fear of tripping and falling flat on my face!
Yup… I get hit with all the fears, too.
Fortunately, I’ve developed a useful set of simple tools to deal with them. And… today I want to give some of those tools to YOU!
I’m going to walk you through specific tips and techniques that can not only help alleviate much of that fear of public speaking, but also help you to be a better public speaker!

• Understand how to visualize in a way that benefits you
