I am one of those people terrified of making public speeches, and one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard is to take that adrenaline that you feel because of the fear and find a way to apply it to make your speech more enthusiastic, more compelling.

Luke, the bad news is… there’s only one way.

On second thought, maybe it IS Dan after all!

Thanks for the comments, and it appears we have some controversy; Olivier claims it is his photo I have used on this post, but I swear it is Dan Schawbel? How should we settle this?

I wasn’t expecting that picture Luke! Way to catch me off-guard.

First, I’ve already warned you about “borrowing” my wife’s cell phone to grab our private photos!!!

Second, great post!

I used to be scared of public speaking too, but a few years ago, something clicked and I started liking speaking to crowds. It’s an extremely rewarding experience once you embrace it - and learn to use public speaking to help people.

Cheers,

Olivier
