Leah S asked:


I am a college sophomore studying Public Relations and although I consider myself an excellent writer, an outgoing person and extremely creative, I am not the best public speaker. I know those in P.R. are often required to address the press but is having a fear a public speaking enough of a reason to change my career path? I’m articulate but I have the hardest time not sounding like a fumbling mess when adressing a crowd. THANKS!

I can’t speak in front of people.
I get nervous, stutter, and even shake a bit. I avoid it when ever I can.
I’m a really outgoing person though, and I’m usually not afraid of much, and keep telling myself it’s fine, but I just can’t talk correctly or think straight.
Does anyone have any tips?
