Secrets of public speaking

When people in the USA were asked in a survey what they were most afraid of, most of them answered that they were more afraid of public speaking than death. Basically, they are afraid if they expose themselves to evaluation of what they know, how they say, what they know, how they look or how they appear in the eyes of others. Modern times demand just that. Everyone is expected to be able to perform, whether on stage, at a conference, in a lecture hall, in a meeting room, or when dealing with clients and colleagues.
