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.
