The vast majority of people would love to improve their public speaking confidence.

Am I right?

But mastering public speaking can sometimes be fearful.

So what does your inner voice say when you’re about to go onto the stage and publicly speak?

Does it say This is gong to be fun i can’t wait to start or does it say You can’t do this you are going to look so dumb.

Which one? Honestly?

How frequently has your inner voice stopped you trying something new?

Somebody will raise a question and you will not know the answer . Don’t do it, it isn’t worth the suffering or agony.
