Love it ! The first point really makes a difference, if you know your topic very well you’ll be much more confident and comfortable while giving your speech 👏🏻

Thank You, shared it with my college students!

I fully agree on everything. Particularly the first point. If you know the subject well, everything else even if they fail, will pull the strings through somehow.

I am a teacher struggling with classroom management. I have developed anxiety when addressing the entire class because when I speak, the class acts as if I don’t exist. I try to maintain a calm assertive tone, warm but strict. I know my subject matter and audience. Please advise.

I always have a severe nervousness especially when I want to speak to an audience or an unfamiliar person, I end up stammering and stuttering making my speech to be so inarticulate.

I have applied the strategies listed in this video even before now, but the situation continues on me.

I'm currently an undergraduate in a University, and this problem has made life so uneasy for me in the campus. What do I do?
