Afraid of Public Speaking? Listen to the Replay of "Death Before the Eulogy and Other Myths of Public Speaking"

Last week I did a fun interview with host Jon Hansen of PI Window on Business on Blog Talk Radio, and other guest, talented comedienne Sally Edwards. We covered a ton of ground on public speaking anxiety and how to be a confident public speaker.

We had a technical difficulty where we couldn't hear each other for 8 minutes. I frequently have technical difficulties when I host interviews or do speaking engagements, and find it quite stressful, so I was relieved that it doesn't just happen to me, and Jon handled it beautifully.

Once we got rolling, we discussed topics such as:

Why people are afraid of speaking in public and the most common concerns
Why one person who experiences butterflies is afraid while another is energized
How to use humor, your personality, and the audience to give a great talk
The myths about public speaking anxiety and performance, as well as the truths

Go ahead and listen at your convenience and let me know if you have thoughts or questions. Enjoy!
