How To Overcome The Fear of Public Speaking
It has been said that the number one fear is the fear of speaking in public. There's a story about a king, hero and lion. One day, a very long time ago, the hero had contradicted the king's statement. To make an example of him, the king decided to put him to death by throwing him into the cage with a ferocious lion. Everyone was invited to witness this merciless act. When the lion approached him, the hero whispered in his ears, which caused him to retreat. Everyone was curious about this turn of events and asked the hero what he had whispered. The hero replied "I told him that he would have to make an after dinner speech." Even the lion has the fear of public speaking.
Here are 10 proven tips to help you deal with your fear:
