Fear of Public Speaking

Do you have a Fear of Public Speaking?

If you said, ‘yes’, then you are not alone. We coach many people who have a fear of public speaking. In fact, people rate fear of public speaking as one of the top five fears experienced worldwide.

There’s a running joke that at funeral, most people would rather be in the coffin than deliver the eulogy!

Even if you don’t have a fear of public speaking, you may need to improve your presentations skills so you can speak to anyone, anywhere about anything.

It’s easy and Deborah Harper can show you how.

There is a misconceived general belief held that only certain people are good at presenting. While some people may be natural born speakers, everyone can learn the skills they need in order to speak well in public and with confidence.

Holding onto a fear of public speaking limits you not only in your personal but also your professional lives. What opportunities have you missed out on because you have a fear of public speaking?

Imagine if you could easily stand up in front of groups and present your topic, where could that skill take you?

So why do we need to learn how to present successfully in public and let go of your fear of public speaking? For a start, there is certainly an increased expectation for us to speak in front of others as part of our professional and social lives. In some cases it can even be career limiting if you are unable to deliver excellent presentations. We live in a world of the ‘hard sell’ with more and more pressure to win that tender, sell that product, get a better job and obtain business buy-in.

Deborah Harper has been a Professional Speaker and Trainer for the past 22 years and she has put all her hints and tips into one eBook, ‘Speaking in Public – A Guide for the Scared Witless’. Both Deborah and Dr Jonathan Bispham teach people how to improve their presentation skills and let go of their fear of public speaking.

Dr Jonathan Bispham will be the first to admit that he used to have a terrible fear of public speaking. In fact, he turned down two best man jobs at weddings because he was too afraid of delivering the speech. He no longer has a fear of public speaking. Now he presents to thousands of people per year with total confidence and he actually enjoys it.
