How many of you find any of these statements true?1. I get nervous when speaking to potential clients about my products.2. I begin to sweat at the very thought of attending a networking event.3. I sit back at networking events and just observe everyone else.4. I get nervous and lose my train of thought anytime I am asked to comment at a meeting,even though I have opinions that I know are crucial to the discussion.5. I would rather die than be asked to speak in front of a group of people.Does any of these sound familiar? Do you realize that you are not alone? Even some of the most savvy speakers still report nervousness before and during speeches. What makes them different than you and me?? The number one thing that separates us from them is preparation and study. They study and practice the "art" of not letting people "see them sweat". Most speakers will admit that even though they have spoken in front of thousands of people, they still experience some sort of anxiety before, and often even during, their speeches. They have learned however to press through and have such a passion for what they are doing, they are able to ignore their physical impulses and deliver when they need to.Interested in learning how you too can tune out your fears and deliver exceptional presentations and speeches to promote your business or be able to "work a room" at networking events?
