If You Hate Public Speaking, Read This…

Hi!

Thanks for subscribing to the Illuminated Story newsletter…

And welcome to our growing community of leaders and business professionals!

So, I want to talk to you for a bit about public speaking.

As a leader, you probably already know that public speaking is an important skill to have.

Yet, it’s something that’s easier said than done, right?

Chances are that you might even be afraid of getting in front of a crowd and speaking to them.

And, here’s the thing… you’re not alone. 

In fact, did you know that most people have a fear of public speaking?

Not to mention, there’s a term that relates to people’s fear of public speaking: 

Glossophobia.

But there’s another not-so-fun fact about this:

It’s one of the most common phobias today.

Over the years, glossophobia has become so widespread that the vast majority of people has it. 

In fact, Beverly D. Flaxington wrote an article about this in Psychology Today. She said that 73% of men and 75% of women have a fear of public speaking.

So… 

Why am I telling you this?

Well, there are two things I want to emphasise: 

One, you’re not alone if you’re afraid of talking in front of people.

Two, you can get over your budding case of glossophobia. 

Once you do that, you can build a skill that many people don’t have. And it’s a skill that can help you succeed regardless of the field you’re in.

When you get over your fear of public speaking - and learn how to do it well - you can: 

• Save time by having the ability to speak to groups instead of talking to one person at a time
• 
  
• Deliver a clear message that will make people who hear it take the action you want them to take
• 
  
• Increase your impact and ultimately, your value over time

Don’t these all sound like great reasons to start getting better at public speaking?

And the good news is that it’s possible for you to even be a master at giving speeches.
