In the last episode, I covered the difference between Glossophobia and just normal, everyday public speaking nervousness. In summary, everyone gets some nervousness when they stand up to speak in front of a group. However, a phobia is an irrational fear. So, if the fear is extreme or irrational, your fear may be a full-blown phobia. 

On this episode, I'm going to give you some tips that will help you reduce or even eliminate this fear. 

If you do these things, you can calm your nerves and become a more poised and confident public speaker -- even if your public speaking fear is extreme. Unlike most phobias, glossophobia doesn't need medication or therapy. It can be conquered with practice and coaching -- as long as that practice and coaching builds self-confidence during every step along the way.
