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.

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

And thank goodness for that.

You can buy the book on Amazon (and elsewhere).
