It still amazes me to find so many people dread speaking in public. The fear, such as it is, is rarely to do with the speech. Remove yourself from the focus and stop worrying about how bad you’ll look. This is not about you. If it was about you, there’d be posters advertising your amazing personal appearance. Then you might have a point. You might even have to learn a song or two. It’s about the message. Always the message and only about the message.

Worry about that instead.
