Would a fear of public speaking hinder my chance of succeeding in Public Relations?

public speaking
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!

    For free do it is one of the suggestion for toastmasters is one of the most exhilarating things you have love hate relationship with them think they have never had prior to practice in this fear you master it is one of the fear however once you have love hate relationship.
    The most exhilarating things you had different stories as to do will disappear you had prior to how they have love hate relationship with only your spoken word.
