Overcoming Your Fear of Public Speaking
Fear of public speaking, also known as glossophobia, is a common problem. It’s often caused by past negative experiences, lack of experience, or fear of judgment from others.
Understanding the root cause of your fear is the first step in overcoming it and that’s what we do together so you become more confident – even when you’re speaking to a virtual audience.
