If you can walk, you can dance tango. If you can speak, you can deliver a speech.
You put one step after another, until it becomes a dance.
You put one word after another, until it becomes a speech.
If you're afraid to speak in front of a large audience, it simply means you're normal. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 73% of the population is affected by public speaking anxiety. You are not alone, you are not faulty.
Fear of public speaking is a natural reaction of our body against an imagined threat.
Yet, if you stop and think about it, you will realize that there is nothing to be afraid of. You know how to speak, you can speak when you’re alone, you can speak with your friends, the only parameters that change when you’re on a stage, is that you have a larger audience and everybody listens to you. Suddenly, everything becomes so complicated...
“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.”
Let me give you an insider tip: the most effective way to overcome the fear of public speaking - and any kind of fear for that matter - is not by avoiding the object of your fear, but by being exposed to it and realizing that nothing bad happens.
This is exactly what will do, together.
In my life I have met many brilliant people, who had inspiring things to say, but didn’t find the courage to do it.
I truly believe that by helping people overcome their fear of speaking, the world will become a better place, because we will hear the voices of all those who are too shy to say what they think, and some of them have great ideas.
If you happen to be one of the 73% for whom public speaking is a bit intimidating, there is no need to worry. It is a skill, like any other, that you can learn, and I can help you.
I have led countless workshops on public speaking and presentations, and in this course I’m gonna tell you all the secrets that you need to know to reach the highest level of confidence.
What I wish for you is not only to be able to speak confidently, but to enjoy it and look forward to the next opportunity to get on stage!
Are you ready to become a fearless speaker and tell the world what you think?
Let’s speak up!
Special thanks to Don Vincenzo and Giorgio Ferrancin for their selfless help in the production of this course.
