Personal Benefits of Public Speaking

Public speaking is a very common phobia, right up there with spiders and killer clowns. Many people would prefer to do almost anything even clean the bathroom instead of standing up and talking in front a crowd of people. Delivering a speech can feel intimidating and risky. Fears and insecurities tend to multiply as the speech draws closer: "What if I freeze up?" "What if I forget my speech?" "What if people get bored and walk out?" "What if the audience tears me apart during the Q&A?"

If you're thinking, "Why would I want to do something so stressful?" then remember: no risk, no reward! These fears don't have to be crippling practice and preparation can build confidence leading up to a speech. Overcoming these fears is an empowering experience. Public speaking is a great way to show yourself that, with practice, you can do the things that scare you the most. What starts out as a nightmare can turn into a great self-esteem boost.

Once the nervous jitters are under control, you may discover that public speaking is actually very rewarding. It can be satisfying to explain your views to a room full of people. Having the opportunity to share a message you care about is actually pretty special. If you think about it that way, public speaking can be satisfying on a personal level.
