Punch Panic in the Face

THE PRESENTATION:

Seizing the opportunity to give presentations or conduct seminars in the business world can make or break a career or a business. One of the most important opportunities a person can take advantage to promote themselves (or their organization) is to speak in front of an audience. Might be an audience of five hundred, or an audience of one. However, the biggest obstacle facing them is the fear of public speaking.

Careers and deals are made in the blink of an eye. Decision makers trust confidence. So how does one overcome the fear, the panic, and the crazy-bad nerves that make knees shake and voices tremble? Overcoming the fear that causes panic is vitally important to climbing the corporate ladder and to business success.
