Did you know that Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is so common that some experts estimate more than 75% of people experience feelings of anxiety from it? Though it may seem crazy for three in every four people to be fearful of public speaking, standing in the spotlight to convey a message to crowds of people can cause sweaty palms, heart palpitations, irregular breathing, and performance anxiety - even in the most seasoned public speakers. Each speaking event requires careful consideration and preparation as to the content being delivered, the way it’s delivered to the audience, as well as the audience itself. But, each event also has one thing in common: your goal as a speaker is to clearly and concisely communicate your message to the audience in a way that brings them value and establishes yourself as the confident voice of subject matter authority.

These are just a few reasons why Ovation, a professional presence and speaker readiness consulting firm based in Littleton, MA, is launching Studio G: an AI-driven virtual speaker coaching platform that helps both amateur presenters’ and professional public speakers’ performance shine. Utilizing a trifecta of technology, communication, and live coaching. Website:www.getovation.com and Facebook/LinkedIn-Kerri Garbis
