About Public Speaking!
I know, I know...........
The Fear of Public
Speaking is greater than the Fear of Death!
And while this has some truth, learning to speak in public is probably
one of the
greatest personal development opportunities available.
When you Speak in Public, you expose all of your vulnerabilities.
The whole public speaking process actually, is learning to overcome
these.
So overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking is just another decision, and
a
chance for personal growth.
In our current society there seems to be an acceptance and promulgation
that “some one else” is responsible: “the Government should
do some thing:”
“it’s your fault”
and even, giving the weather responsibility for our feelings
e.g. “Isn’t the weather miserable!”
In fact, whether we like it or not, we are all responsible for the
“stuff” in
our lives, both the good and the bad.
We choose our jobs, friends, partners and even our feelings!
We choose to accept an opportunity for personal growth or walk away.
Thus we need to accept that all our choices so far have brought us to
where we are now.
So if we want change our current situation we need to change ourselves.
Public Speaking is one of the greatest ways to grow as a person because
overcoming the fundamental fear allows us to deal with all
sorts of other stuff.
So the catch is that we have to Make
the Decision to overcome that Fear
of Public Speaking and actually do it!
The confidence that you gain by facing this challenge spills over into
every part of your life and your whole
life takes on more energy and colour.
That’s good enough reason to take the plunge and start learning to
speak in public.
