I have written this guide for anyone who dreads public speaking. Many people asked to give a presentation stress about it. Others have had a previous bad experience and now dread being asked again; just the thought of having to stand up and talk to a group of people prompts feelings of anxiety! If this is you, then I empathise with your situation, but more importantly I have some learning to pass on that will be of practical use.There is a good chance you will never enjoy giving a presentation, but you can reduce the anxiety that comes with it by applying some tried and tested techniques.
