That term (scared sh*tless), is something l've heard many times. Even if you have zero interest in public speaking, you might find this chat interesting, as we explore the essence of communication, connection and rapport. And while we are talking in the context of public speaking, most of the content is relevant across a broad range of situations, with an audience of many or one. I get asked a lot of questions about public speaking, from people who want to do it for a job and makes lots of dough, to people who just want to be less terrified of speaking in front of any group in any situation, even at their own birthday. So, for this chat the old professional (me) and the new professional (Tiff) got together to share some thoughts, insights, suggestions and stories that might be of value to any would-be public speaker.
