today’s questions
what is glossophobia?
It’s the fear of speaking in publicfrom the Greek: glōssa meaning tongue and
phobos meaning fear or dread
74% of the population suffers from some form of glossophobia
“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death....
This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Jerry Seinfeld
today we dispel the dread

“Do not fall into the trap of thinking that in order for your audience to understand anything, you must tell them everything” Garr Reynolds, The Naked Presenter
a presentation works…
when the different elements gel together: the content, the presenter, the delivery, the audience and it all just flows
when the words are true and the message is clear and relevant
when the audience goes away happy
