Module 13 - Warm Up

I am not fond of speaking in front of crowds, I get very nervous and am always concerned with what people are thinking. Speaking in front of audiences can be very intimidating, I have done it a few times and even when I talk about something that I am very familiar with I still get very nervous. I ususally end up talking very fast and can easily turn a 15 minute presentation into a 3 minute presentation, the more information I have to give, the faster I can talk. I just want to hurry up and get it over with. As I have given more and more presentations, I realize that if you practice your presentation and know your information, you are able to relax a little more each time. I think you just have to keep facing your fear no matter how hard it may be, you can never overcome it if you don't face it.
