I am pretty self conscious about my age, and I already have a fear of speaking in public. I am afraid I will shake like a tree in a hurricane and lose my leafs….any ideas to help?

The list will turn out to me as natural as if you will have some advantages there due to your age and remember.

public speaking is not always easy especially for those who are not born orators.i used to fear audience before but now i can stand and address thousands of people bcos i was able to conquer fear. To start with, u hav to build up self confidence, tell urself ‘if mr A can do it i can also do it’. When u are coming to the stage, carry urself with reputation, dont look at people’s faces look above their heads and make sure your speach is well organized.U can start ur speach with jokes or stories related to ur topic, that will make the audience want to hear more and this will give u more courage but be careful not to lose ur focus.Come out off ur fear, start by addressing small group from there u move. Good luck.
