Think about the speeches you've heard and liked. Why did you like them? For me, it's often as much to do with the presentation as with the information. If I'm talked to, my attention is engaged, but if I'm read to, my mind starts to wander. Trust that your speech will be more interesting to other people than it is to you As a confident speaker you will be comfortable breaking the ice and starting conversations with strangers. This expands your social circle and improves your personal life.
You can say to yourself: “I am going to face my fear . . . and give that speech even though I’m nervous.”
1. Take the Plunge jump or dive quickly and energetically.
The only way you can get over your fear of public speaking is by going ahead and speaking. It might sound counter intuitive but this is true. The longer we wait to do whatever it is that is causing the fear, the more intense our fear would become. So go ahead and give that speech or presentation you have been pondering over for such a long time.
