Thank you for the great tips, JD! Like most people, I fear speaking in public, but since it's often unavoidable, it’s best to just embrace the discomfort and come prepared. From personal experience, the anxiety of speaking in front of an audience diminishes significantly when I’m fully prepared and have mastered my content. This allows me to focus on the delivery, which you’ve highlighted with some really useful tips. I especially appreciated your point about viewing the talk as a series of short conversations with people who are genuinely interested in what I have to say. It shifts the focus away from me and more towards the message, making it about how I can engage and benefit the audience.
