How to Say It
People say that one of the greatest fears is the fear of speaking in pub-
lic. As a matter of fact, there is a joke often told about this: “People are
so much more afraid of speaking in front of a group than of dying that
at a funeral they would rather be the corpse than the person who has
to give the eulogy.”
Nervousness about public speaking is natural even for trained
speakers. You can use this anxiety constructively to help you prepare
your presentation and yourself. First, get as much information as you
can about the presentation.
