How Do You View Public Speaking?

Appreciating the benefits will create a mindset of approaching public speaking from an abundance and not a lack. Our ability to speak in front of others could save a life or affect our life, such as when it comes to getting a job.

Do you like or fear it? Public speaking is like playing on ice when we were children. At first we are uncomfortable. The more we do it the more fun we end up having. The fun is related to the level of comfort we have from both experience and skill of running and sliding on the ice. Public speaking is much the same.

If you want to have the same fun and you still fear it, consider the benefits.
