What is your greatest fear?
Can I suggest that public speaking is up their in your top 10. To some this might sound strange yet even the most rehearsed speakers have some nerves before speaking. Public speaking is one of the most common fears among people. Why?
Our fears are inbuilt and designed to protect us from self-harm. Fear brings upon us unpleasant emotions when we face danger, pain, or injury. Yet what is the worse thing that could happen when we speak in front of a crowd?
What makes us so nervous that we will avoid public speaking at all costs? Some people would rather die than to have to stand up and speak in front of an observing audience. Strange, right? In this book Dale Carnegie shares the secrets to overcoming this fear and becoming an effective speaker.
