Get Professional Instruction to Control Stage Fright

When you think about speaking to an audience, is this what you feel?

If so, you have plenty of company. When I started teaching Speech Communication at the University of Georgia, every class included plenty of students who dreaded the day they would face their classmates to give a speech.

Years later, I became a Speech Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Business Consultant. Every week since I started as an entrepreneur in 1997, I have heard business leaders at every level talk about how much they feared speaking.

PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION HELPS YOU CONTROL STAGE FRIGHT
Here's one of the recommendations I make to everyone who wants to gain what I call "poise, power, and persuasion" when they speak:

Get instruction from a qualified professional!

And of course I let them know I am a qualified professional who has worked with employees and executives, both in person and through online platforms such as Zoom. Because of the amazing advances in technology, my coaching faces no geographical limitations.

I'll introduce you now to Ariel Cushnie, who is earning her degree in Hospitality Management from Florida International University.

Note that Ariel has excelled in the hospitality field as an employee as well as a student.

In her words:

"I used to hate public and presentation speaking for such a long time; I would shake, stutter, and speed talk to get it over with."

HOW A SPEECH COURSE HELPED HER
Ariel took action. To quote her again:

"Then, I took a public speaking class in my freshman year of college and LOVED it; it really taught me techniques to overcome my fears and I would later join an on-campus leadership organization where my primary role was to give speeches and presentations to students; now I feel comfortable speaking in front of anyone!"

Having viewed my Web site, she added: "I like that your company focuses on that aspect of communication ."
