It is all about getting the novice speaker, the person that is fearful to turn that nervous fear into nervous energy. The rewards of being a good public speaker are there for all to behold. But if you can realise that nervous energy you have should be turned towards your audience . Remember it's not about you. if you're up there to speak you're going to inform, you’re go to entertain, you're gonna educate. You're there for a purpose, so don't think what if I fail, what if I stumble, what if I forget my words. Think what am I going to deliver to these people what information have I worked on in my speech that will help them out, that will take them to the next level . As soon as you turn that inward feeling outward you’re going to immediately feel better and when you walk onto the stage walk out there with purpose. Walk out there like you really want to be there, smile look around and go for it there's no better feeling.
