Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking is just another decision. In our current society there seems to be an acceptance and promulgation that “some one else” is responsible: “the Government should do some thing:” “it’s your fault” and even, giving the weather responsibility for our feelings e.g. “Isn’t the weather miserable!” In fact, whether we like it or not, we are all responsible for the “stuff” in our lives, both the good and the bad. We choose our jobs, friends, partners and even our feelings! We choose to accept an opportunity for growth or walk away. Thus we need to accept that all our choices so far have brought us to where we are now. So if we want change our current situation we need to change ourselves. Public Speaking is one of the greatest ways to grow as a person because overcoming the fundamental fear allows us to deal with all sorts of other stuff. So the catch is that we have to make the decision to overcome that fear of public speaking and actually do it! The confidence that you gain by facing this challenge spills over into every part of your life and your whole life takes on more energy and colour. That’s good enough reason to take the plunge.
