With a lot of preparation, and persistence in practice, those who suffer from a fear of public speaking can often overcome its debilitating effects. Linda Ellis, the author of the world-famous The Dash, a poem which succinctly reminds readers of the monumental meaning of the dash on tombstones between birth and death, engages in a daily effort to make her vocalization of the Live Your Dash presentation as urgent and as inspiring as its subject.
Following the teachings of public speaking teachers, the first precept in conquering speaking fears is the admonition to know the subject. A speech topic benefits from the care and understanding of its presenter, making it far less likely that the speaker will lose track of the topic or make a mistake. Even if the speaker gets lost somehow during the presentation, careful and concerned preparation will enable the orator to get back on track quickly. It is also helpful to consider beforehand the types of questions which audience members may have, arming the presenter with knowledgeable and on-target responses.
Many orators, such as Linda Ellis, the writer of popular poem The Dash and today an inspirational speaker, carefully organize their presentations down to the last detail. A visit to the site of the speaking venue ensures that the proper equipment will be used to maximize the message of the orator. Careful outlines at the podium enable the speaker to be more confident and less nervous during the progression of the speech.www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/phobias/expert-answers/fear-of-public-speaking
