Back in my college days, I was scared of public speaking. I know most of you have this fear in your life.

But after joining the toastmaster club within one year my fear of public speaking get vanished. Now I am more confident on the stage.

Let me share how I felt before going on the stage in my college days.

I still remember, there was a presentation I have to present at my college. So the day before the presentation I was very nervous… All these questions have started coming into my mind… 1. what if someone laughs at me

2.what if I will commit a mistake 3. what other people will think of me…blah blah blah…

I know you can relate to this whoever has the fear of public speaking.

Now the final day came and I was standing on the stage. while speaking my legs and hands are shivering, I was very nervous and in the middle of the presentation, I got fumbled 4 times and somehow I have completed the presentation.

After the presentation, I decided I have to get rid of this fear… then I googled how to get rid of the fear of public speaking and there I found there a club called “Toastmaster” where you can improve your public speaking skills.

If you are reading this and if you have any fear… so there only one solution for this “FACE YOUR FEAR”
