On Speaking Well Enough, by John-Paul Flintoff

Excited, Then Fearful: in 59 seconds

Excited, then fearful – that’s how it is with public speaking.

If there’s no excitement or fear, your talk will be sub-optimal. At least, that’s been my experience.

Yesterday, I gave a talk to some extremely nice people, many of them old friends, hosted by the Union Club, Soho, to help launch the book.

I confess here (don’t tell anybody!) that I got in a proper pickle beforehand.

And thank goodness for that.
