For anyone preparing for their speech this week (which is everyone I teach)

As we said, everyone gets nervous preparing to speak in front of others—it's part of being human:)

However, as you continue down the 'road of life' it will hopefully get easier. Unfortunately, it's a fact of life that you will be called to speak in front of others in one time or another.  Let's face the fear now:)  Each time it gets a little bit easier.

Here is a helpful article about helping prepare yourself for public speaking.
