Building Confidence and Control in Public Speaking

Public speaking is a skill that develops over time with plenty of practice. The more opportunities to stand in front of an audience, the better you will be. However, the “butterflies in your stomach” will never completely go away. A survey done in the United States some years ago of people of adult age that asked “What do you fear most in life?” found that more than any other issue, people fear standing in front of an audience and speaking a few or many words. Amusingly, public speaking surpassed dying as number one fear. Now most of those surveyed may have had opportunity to speak publicly, but I rather doubt that many of them had experience that number two choice. Accomplished public speakers regardless of their depth of experience have a certain degree of anxiety whenever they stand before an audience of strangers. I am part of a family of preachers, each of which says they have a tremble in their innermost being every time they stand to preach. One of them has preached for over forty years and the other more than 25 years. Anxiety in such situations is normal; it’s when the anxiety progresses to outright fear is when you have a problem that needs to be wrestled into submission.
