Asking questions such as “What will happen if I blank out on stage?” vs. “What will happen if I blow it out of the park?” play a crucial part in the results of our, and our audience’s, experience. Try it on the next time you have a public speaking engagement and I guarantee that you will feel more confident onstage.

You are right...it is necessary to use toastmasters club appropriately...the feedback others give might not always be right...but it is not always wrong either...the supportive and encouraging environment however bolsters our growth as a speaker.

I wonder where the 'fact' that people fear public speaking more than death came from? It is quoted everywhere - myself included - but do you know where the study came from? I'd love to know!

Thanks! I am one of those that gets in front of an audience and my mind goes blank, can't think quickly on my feet, etc. You get the picture, I'm sure. So, your points are well taken. It's interesting, however, that I used to go around the State performing trainings of a new program I'd started and I had no problem at all speaking! I wonder why the difference now. I could stand to follow your pointers! cj http://www.gatesoftheheart.wordpress.com Nice article! Thanks!
