Have been delegated to give a presentation at an upcoming forum. I have a tremendous fear of public speaking. Get dry mouth, stutter, racing mind, etc. Any suggestions?

    Prepare your speech in a written form, so that if all goes wrong you can read it. Try to practice your reading in front of a mirror and remember that most people are nervous too, so your audience will understand if you get a bit nervous.
    Good luck.

    Try once to have a speech NAKED (in front your friends or family). After it every other speech will be piece of cake…..
