Most of the audience is there to listen to you not to find faults in your public speaking performance. Excellent advice about joining Speakers club. Andrew Keith,

It does take practice and we have to accept the fact that it won’t be perfect and we will make mistakes. Most of the audience is there to listen to you not to find faults in your public speaking performance.

Excellent advice about joining Speakers club.

I've learnt that with practice and support almost anyone can become a half decent public speaker. The problem is convincing people that it takes practice and hard work. Plus you have to be prepared to take a few risks and ocassionally come unstuck. My advice? Join a Speakers Club where you can build confidence and work through the fear. No easy fixes I'm afraid. .-= Keith Davis´s last blog ..<a href="http://easypublicspeaking.co.uk/eye-contact-in-public-speaking/">The eyes have it!</a> =-. Hi Andrew
Most people don’t think that they could ever give a speech, they can’t see beyond the fear.

The problem is convincing people that it takes practice and hard work.

I love this sentence. It really hits the nail on the head. I was beginning to think that what I have to say no-one wanted to hear, now I know I have to keep telling things my way, because I am the only one that can say it my way. Thanks Andrew.

No choice, I just had to do it. Part 2 was worse. The company owner got into a round table discussion on our product and he only spoke French, so I had to translate everything from English to French and then take his STUPID AND INCORRECT French answers and make him sound intelligent in English. He actually said to me as one answer "well, Richard, I really don't know but you will have to answer." No kidding? .-= McLaughlin´s last blog ..<a href="http://richardmclaughlin.biz/we-build-your-blog-contest/">We Build Your Blog Contest</a> =-.
