One of the biggest causes of public speaking fear and nervousness is having too much time in between each speech. For folks who only give a single presentation each month, once every few months, or once a year, there is a good chance that each time you stand up to present, you will be nervous.

If you only drove a car once a year, each time you got behind the wheel, you'd be a nervous wreck (no pun intended.)

If you are a comfortable driver, it is because you get behind the wheel pretty often.

It is the same with public speaking. The more often you present, the more comfortable you will be each time. So, on this episode, I'm going to begin a two-part series on venues where you can practice speaking in front of a group.

This week, I give you the least risky. These are fantastic speaking venues to get started in. As your confidence grows, try presenting in the latter speaking venues. The more you practice, the less nervous you will become when you present.
