Great point about the fear never fully leaving us. Yes, intellectually we can know that we have valuable things to share with our audiences, but knowing it in our hearts is something altogether different. David Michael,

Thanks for visiting and weighing in.

It was my worst nightmare. Now it's part of my job and I do it regularly. On many occasions, I have relaxed and really enjoyed myself. But it isn't just a smooth progression - sometiemes the fear comes back and I struggle with that. It's two steps forward and one back. But you have to keep going and keep affirming success. I know that I have added value in many public speaking situations and I will continue to do so. When it comes down to it, the fear of public speaking is one of our most absurd fears.
